Alliance/Union star map

fwiw, here's a similar viewpoint seen in Celestia, including trade routes. It's not quite the same, so I'll have to figure that out. *sigh*


p.s. the really bright stars are nearby real brown dwarf stars that I added. I was hoping that some might be close enough to the imagined Jump Points to be usable. No such luck
(CJC's Jump Points are brown dwarfs -- masses which drag spacecraft out of "jump space" into normal space. If a spaceship doesn't pass near one soon enough, it won't have enough energy left to make the transition -- or at least that's how I understand it.)
