As far I know I set the Threat Level myself, with guideline:
1–4 Fringe Zone Sectors
5–8 Central Zone Sectors
9+ Unusually Dangerous Areas
Zone. As a rule of thumb, increase the Threat Level by three at night

A few questions, assuming threat and artifact columns are set on YES:

• So if there is Sector with TL4 then at night it is TL7 and I roll 3 more dice for Threats and Artifacts?
• How big is Central Zone?
• How do I know there is unsusually Dangerois Areas?

I would like a random method to determination of TL... Any ideas?

If I need a random method I roll 1d6-1, giving a range of 0-5. I then tend to modify this based on previous incidents and encounters on the map (e.g. the territory of the Split-Eye Reavers is never really going to be a safe area unless you wipe out the Reavers.

How do you translate "threat 2" or "threat 5" into the level of difficulty the PCs face?
