Could someone explain:

[Atrocities]

Could someone explain why we can not have over 255 systems? What exactly happens when you exceed this number and why?

I want to have a game with up wards of 350 systems in it, but am fearfull that will cause problems, and I do not know why. Your help is appreciated as always.
