WIP: Galaxy Map and Template...

WIP: Galaxy Map and Template...
Background:
GURPS HighSpace Campaign: I run the area of the Unity and Aan Empire; a fellow GM runs the Shiva region
The tech level allows for FTL Engines to traverse 10 parsecs/hour. Thus allowing an Aan ship, for example, to travel FTL from Saurus to Kragor in a month of Terran Standard Time.
The vast areas of the Unity and Aan Empire are merely 'claimed territory'. Gargantuan drone ships patrol the perimeters dropping beacons that transmit into all frequencies in real space and hyperspace warning all encroaching vessels. Neither government is capable of maintaining effective military forces over such areas, of course heh. That creates a lot of interesting conflict hooks heh heh heh.
FlipPoints or JumpTubes are noted on the map, but only the primary ones. These allow for instantaneous travel. Each segment must be 'flipped' or 'jumped' and the flipengines would need varying times to 'recharge' before the ship could proceed.
Note on Theme: due to player request and just basic appreciation, we did borrow a few concepts from real life scifi themes: Galaxy's Edge, Flinx, Kirlian Chronicles, etc.
Earth is in the Tellus Sphere noted in the Orion Spur. A Sphere contains dozens of worlds, usually.
Tech Levels vary up and down. The tech level in the Shiva Systems is lower than the Unity, for example.
Anyway, hope you like the map
