I beleive I know the answers to these questions below, but I would like to make sure:

1) If a ship is moving through a sector that causes it damage, does it stop and end its movement there, or does it continue on to finish its movement? I tihnk the answer is that it stops, but I'd like to make sure.

2) A system causes "random movement" - if a ship traverses through that system in entirely one turn, it isn't subject to random movement, right? Ie: a ship is moved randomly only if it ends the turn in that system, right?

Thanks....

Random and non-random movement is applied between turns.
You can use this to save fuel, by letting a black hole pull your ship towards the middle and then powering out through the other side in one turn. You get a couple sectors of free move.

Damaging sectors do typically cause ships to stop.
I'm not sure if a ship will stop when it is hit with only a tiny amount of damage and suffers no component losses.
