Hey, Mr. Kim and Mr. Bedford. This topic I'm forming is more like a inquiry forum on how the structure of the entire GL Corps Headquarters is made. And in this particular message, I have a question about the Sector Houses. According to a page I found on this GLCorps website, the Sector Houses are supposed to posted throughout the many sectors of the universe. However, according to other info sites that reference this part of headquarters, they say that it's actually part of headquarters on planet Oa, literally. So if you can, please clear that up for me. I'd appreciate it.

A golden rule when it comes to the Green Lantern Corps: Trust no other source than this! :)

According the what we have learned from the books so far the Sector Houses are indeed smaller headquarters scattered around the universe and not located on Oa. While there is a bit of descrepancy within the books as to the naming of the Sector Houses logic seems to indicate that there is one Sector House for each 10 sectors as the Green Lanterns from sector 1417 where frequenting Sector House 141.

Oa has the main headquaters of the Green Lanterns as well as a lot of other structures.

Which other sites have you seen stating something else?

Well to be honest, I saw this info first on Wikipedia. From there I saw it on similar Wiki websites that were dedicated to the DC Universe, and pretty much everywhere else I saw reference to the GL Headquarters stated the same thing. Only this site had different info. Now with that said, I feel like even though most of the website is unofficial, a lot of the info you guys gather for this site seems very credible, due to the fact that you reference the official comic book issue you get the info from. So even though your site says it's unofficial, it's still very credible. As a matter of fact, I'm guessing the only reason your site is unofficial is because it's independent from Geoff Johns and the rest of the makers of Green Lantern. Other than that, I consider you guys very credible, as I go here for all my GL info.

Now as for the Sector Houses, since according to the info you guys gathered from the comic books that first referenced it that there's supposed to a Sector House for every 10 sectors, how are they categorized and grouped together? I'm assuming numerically, but since I'm not sure at all, please let me know when you can. Also, could you guys get or make like an official map of all the sectors in the known universe (Sector Houses included of course), and see how they relate coordinate-wise to planet Oa, which is supposed to be like the center of the universe? Thanks guys.

Thank you for the praise. The problem might be that they are referencing the GL Headquarters which IS on Oa, whereas the Sector Houses are not.

There has been no real confirmation of how the sector houses are grouped together but as we write in our sector house profile, based on the fact that Sector House 268 "has been used by Lanterns in Space Sectors 2681-2684 and was originally referred to as 2682, possibly indicating that it is located in Sector 2682 and that it houses Lanterns from Sectors 2680-2689". Using this logic Sector House 281 would be the one that grouped together sector 2814 (Our sector) and sectors 2810-2819 and so on. But so far it is still guesses as none of the writers have confirmed this yet.

While it would be nice to have such a map it is impossible to make as there is simply not enough information about how the sector map is oganized to do so.

You can however find a list of all the known sectors as well as the planets known to be in those sectors here: http://glcorps.dcuwiki.net/wiki/index.p ... ctor_Guide

Also we are currently working on an expansive list of all known planets in the DC Universe with information on each of them. Only a few of these have proper profiles at this point but we hope to expand on this part in the coming months.

Ok guys, I got one more question about the Sector Houses in general now that I know how to locate and describe one that's supposedly located within every 10 sectors (by the way, can we infer that each Sector House neighbors all 10 sectors it's supposed to support?). But first, I have one question about the Sector House green lanterns from our sector (2814) are supposed to use (Sector House 281): is it indeed located in our sector, or somewhere else? And now finally, is there another means of transportation that can be used to travel from there to headquarters on planet Oa, like a teleporting device that can deliver you and an accompanied guest (like a prisoner) straight to Oa? As a matter of fact, if you guys can, see if you can find out more detailed information about the facilities inside a Sector House. And of course, since this particular blog post on the site is about the description of GL Headquarters, feel free to post all of the legit information and sources, like links directed to these types of topics' pages on the site, right here in this blog so we can know once and for all who out there was supporting the facts according to the official issues like you guys. Thanks so much.

Based on what we have seen in the books I think it is fairly safe to assume that the Lanterns from our sector would use Sector House 281. However, where it is located is not know as nothing has been stated in the books about this. At this point very little is actually known of the Sector Houses so what you find in the Sector House profile is pretty much all that is known at this point.

The Green Lanterns have always used the power of their rings to take them to Oa. The Sector Houses is a fairly new invention and I if they existed before the collapse of the Corps back in Green Lantern v3 #50 they haven't been shown. The first time we saw them was post-GL: Rebirth.

Not much info is known of the sector houses so there's not much more to say. If more information becomes available the profile will be updated.

Ok, thanks again Mr. Kim and Bradford. And as I said before, see if what I read from other sites about GL Headquarters is indeed credible or not. For instance, Wikipedia pretty much detailed what HQ on planet Oa is generally supposed to have, everything to the meeting halls to different dining halls, including Guy's Place, which is a diner intended for us humans. So since you guys have the offical comic issues as resources to properly reference it, I'd appreciate that info as soon as you guys can report and post it. Thanks again guys. You're a real big help, so keep up the good work!
