[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] Well, the term "grid" was frequently used in VOY for volumes of space larger than sector. At first, only Seven of Nine used it, so it sounded like a Borg thing; but it makes sense for Starfleet to also have a word for it, even if Alpha Quadrant ships seldom deal with such large volumes. And the "quadrant" that is smaller than a sector is a common feature in TOS and the TOS movies (most prominently ST2:TWoK), plus some early TNG episodes. Mandel chose to make the difference between this quadrant and the galactic pie-wedge quadrant as explicit as possible, for the benefit of the readers. Yeah, that part of the book was largely "co-researched" between Mandel, Okuda and Sternbach. Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
