So sometimes I get the itch to stellar map and so in order to scratch that itch I do exactly that - I create star sectors or regions or even entire galaxies (or if I am in a fantasy mood cities, nations, continents, worlds). As I do the art I often come up with general ideas for sectors and regions and such. My hope is always to use the ideas for some sort of campaign, though often the images just stay in a file either physically or digitally till I think about them again.
With my mood turning to scifi again I looked up some of my old maps and, well, fell in love with them again.
I am going to share the maps since I think they might be something that others fine useful or interesting or just simply fun.
The first map to share is my Olympia Grand System - a seven-star solar system that I honestly really love working on.
The last two maps are of a great starry expanse known as Known Space. It is an spacefaring corridor some sixty thousand light-years long from core to rim and a thousand light years wide spinward and antispinward. 600 of that light years is open space full of habitable worlds organized into sectors and 400 ly is a barren, dangerous hostile storm ridden void that makes travel painful. The effect of this being humanity within the region is safe from the dark things that go bump outside the region - a fact made known because it is quite clear the region was artificially created millions of years ago.
I have other maps and stuff as well but these three are the ones I am focused on.
As a note please feel free to use this thread for either conversation on these images or also the posting of your own others so we could talk about them.
Later!
