Draft 1.1 April 23, 2013 - Blue Tyson

Talking of cosmological fractals, I thought something like this would be fun - and you could apply modifiers from shape to type to subsectors and clusters. Dead galaxy, garden worlds less likely, etc.

Hadn't come up with a 'subsector' or sector generation generic table as yet.
