Captain's Edition adds many new sector types to the game. You can find more information on the challenges and events found in those sectors here.
In addition, all new sector types and vanilla sector types in Captain's Edition can have a variety of different names. Unlike in vanilla you will not know exactly what sector you are traveling to next. However, the names of each sector will usually contain key words that give you a good idea of what you can expect. Learning the patterns of sector names is another challenge Captain's Edition offers.
