The other has hexes that are too small, but can be used as campaign planning maps.ĭistances are in light-years. The hexes on the full size map are large enough to accommodate a standard wargame playing counter. The map comes in a full sized 23" x 35" poster, and a small size 16” X 20” poster. The map is similar to the one found in the out-of-print wargame StarForce. The map is plotted on a hex grid, suitable for playing war games. This is a map of all known stars within 20 light-years of the Sun.
The table includes the star name, HabCat status, spectral class, and Cartesian coordinates. In the bottom part of the poster is a table of all the stars on the map. In addition, HabCat stars have lines to their two closest HabCat stars.
Overlapping star icons are moved slightly for clarity, but the Cartesian coordinates are accurate.ĭotted lines are drawn between each star and its two closest neighbors, and the lines are labeled with the distance. Stars are labeled with the name of all stars in the system and with the x,y,z Cartesian coordinates. Stars listed in the HabCat database have a high probability of possessing a human habitable planet and are marked with a green ring. Stars are indicated by an icon color coded to the spectral class of the star (or the brightest star if it is a multiple star system). The positive X-axis points at the galactic center ("Coreward"), the negative X-axis points at the galactic rim ("Rimward"), the positive Y-axis points in the direction of galactic rotation ("Spinward"), the negative Y-axis points opposite to the galactic rotation ("Trailing").ĭistances are in light-years. It is a Cartesian plot with the x-y plane parallel to the plane of the galaxy.
The map comes in a full sized 23" x 35" poster, a small size 16” X 20” poster. This map is intended for SF authors plotting out their SF universes. The first is a map of all known stars within 30 light-years of the Sun.
