The Map

The strategic map represents all of the known (by player races) area within the Orion Arm of the Milky Way Galaxy, plus space beyond the Rim out to the Large Magellanic Cloud. ``North'' on the map is Coreward, and ``South'' is Rimward. It is divided up into 1983 hexagonal sectors in 31 columns of 33 plus 30 columns of 32. The map is not scientifically accurate, so please don't complain that not all of this area actually borders the Rim (and the LMC is in reality much farther away). It is on this map that empires will take strategic action.
