After buying it and looking thru it a bit I am quite surprised how much is there, It's mostly traveller-esque with a few differences. The politics are very different, one "large" multi-system government and a number of smaller polities which are mostly just single planets allied or arrayed against each other.
The other big difference I see is the Jump drive. I works at about 2X speed and similar fuel consumption to J-1; 0.1 X ship tons of fuel per parsec. But it's not fixed to simply 1 parsec / one week.

Distance	Time	Fuel
1 AU	1.44 Seconds	0.000000047 x ship's mass
10 AU	14.44 Seconds	0.000000047 x ship's mass
1 Light year	26 Hours	0.03 x ship's mass
1 Parsec	84 Hours	0.1 x ship's mass
2 Parsecs	168 Hours	0.2 x ship's mass

The max distance does seem to be fixed at 2 parsecs, and there is a chance of "bubble collapse" for any ship over 2,000 tons, so It's definitely a "small ship" setting.

I wonder if the Earth Sector book is similar? It's a shame to think I might have been over looking them because the title made it seem like the were just sector books.

Yes, Earth Sector is the other end of the wormhole that collapsed, then events continued on both sides without contact. Earth Sector is slightly higher tech and mostly organised by Earth nations (not entirely - subsectors vary and some worlds are independent), which creates minor differences in character generation.

I'll have to watch for it to go on sale.
I'm definitely digging the "Clement Sector", but I wish they'd picked a different name for the product. "Clement sector" makes it seem like it's just a sector book, not a whole game.

I agree, even after all this time I didn't realise it was a full game.

So what would be a better name? Add a subtitle perhaps?

Or a super title, and make the Clement sector the subtitle.
"Seeker, exploring the Clement sector"
Maybe even drop the "Sector" entirely and give the region it's own name.
