Sectors & map

Sixteen sectors in four tiers – where to go, what you'll fight and what you'll earn.

Vectron Orbit has 16 sectors in four tiers. Every tier has its own sky, planets, enemies and hazards. The deeper you go, the stronger the enemies – and the bigger the rewards: the reward multiplier applies to credits, XP, cargo and bonus boxes. Jump gates connect the sectors; gate beacons and the Home Base are safe zones.

Tier 1 – Solar Core

Sectors 1-1 to 1-4 · rewards ×1.0 – ×2.3

The sky: Earth, Moon, Mars and a bright yellow sun.

The starting space around the Home Base in 1-1. Drones, Stingers and Lancers; sector bosses Sentry Lord and Devourer; the Hive Overlord guards 1-4. Defeat the Hive Overlord to open wild space.

• 1-1 Vectron Prime – home sector with the Home Base, safe zone, shop and missions
• 1-2 Cinder Reach – Ravagers, Wardens and the Sentry Lord
• 1-3 Voltium Drift – ion clouds, Bastions and the Devourer (level 3)
• 1-4 Hive Nest – the Hive Overlord (level 5)

Tier 2 – Wild Space Nebulae

Sectors 2-1 to 2-4 · rewards ×2.8 – ×4.4

The sky: ringed gas giants, a distant white dwarf and station ruins in emerald and violet nebulae.

Enemies are about 50% stronger than in tier 1. Smart ace pilots, Warlords, Wardens and Reapers, dense asteroid belts. The Hive Monolith in 2-4 guards the gate to the Inferno Systems.

• 2-1 Crimson Expanse (level 8)
• 2-2 Shattered Belt (level 10)
• 2-3 Void Rift (level 12)
• 2-4 Dread Bastion – the Hive Monolith (level 14)

Tier 3 – Inferno Systems

Sectors 3-1 to 3-4 · rewards ×5.0 – ×6.5

The sky: unstable red giant suns, molten lava worlds and glowing planet fragments.

Enemies are about 120% stronger than in tier 1. Missile-firing Bombardiers, elite fleets and solar flares that scorch your shield – get to a safe zone when the warning sounds. The Inferno Overlord in 3-4 opens the last tier.

• 3-1 Ember Gate (level 16)
• 3-2 Magma Rift – the Magma Devourer (level 17)
• 3-3 Ashfall Expanse (level 18)
• 3-4 Solar Forge – the Inferno Overlord (level 19)

Tier 4 – Absolute Zero Void

Sectors 4-1 to 4-4 · rewards ×7.0 – ×9.0

The sky: dead stars, frozen ice worlds, giant crystals and derelict capital ships.

The endgame: enemies about 200% stronger than in tier 1, the richest Xeno Crystal mining, bosses that regenerate their shields fast and ion storms that scramble your radar.

• 4-1 Frostline (level 21)
• 4-2 Shatter Glacier – the Glacial Devourer (level 22)
• 4-3 Silent Abyss (level 23)
• 4-4 Absolute Zero – the Void Monolith (level 25)

Hazards

• Radiation zone – outside the map border. You have 30 seconds to fly back.
• Ion clouds – engines −20% and target locks are limited inside them.
• Solar flares (tier 3) – burn 30% of your shield unless you are in a safe zone.
• Ion storms (tier 4) – the radar fills with static and lock range drops for 8 seconds.
