I do wonder how the borders were arrived at for the purposes of #StarCharts. @geofmandel.bsky.social and @larrynemecek.bsky.social might have some thoughts to share on the topic, unless there's still NDAs in effect.

Have you any conclusions on where on the galactic map you want your LDS-specific venues to be? I worry that we're going to have wait a bit longer for the next revision of either #StarCharts or #StellarCartography...

Excerpt from the base map for The Edge of Midnight. Highlighted by a rounded-corners box is the star HIP 56399, tentatively designated by map designer Dwight Williams as a candidate for home star of the planet Benzar.
Excerpt from the base map for future Tranquility Press projects focused on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine's Dominion-Federation War story arc. Highlighted by a rounded-corners box is the star HIP 56399, tentatively designated by map designer Dwight Williams as a candidate for home star of the planet Benzar.
I think I have a tentative candidate for Barzan's homestar. HIP 56399.

#StarCharts Humming Bird could also be Cygnus: The Swan Constellation, depending on one's interpretation! Scientist should use computer to extend lay lines at Nazca around Earth to see if they line up with Earths magnetic lines and maybe discover new undiscovered megalithic sites

Excerpt from a "work-in-progress" map of the spaces in and around the Cardassian Union, highlighting the star BC Arietis as a candidate for the Satera system as depicted in the Star Trek: the Next Generation novel "Pliable Truths" by Dayton Ward. That choice depends on Minor Korva being "ten light-years away" (give or take a fraction of a light-year) and also being in the GJ 3150 system.
@daytonward.bsky.social I had a thought about Satera from your novel, Pliable Truths. Subject to debate and discussion, as ever...

Carina Nebula has been cited once or twice in #StarTrekProdigy, if memory serves?
Also, noting that for the closer ones, they're sticking with published material in #StarCharts / #StellarCartography despite those using #Hipparcos data, rather than more recent #GaiaMission.

Excerpt from a work-in-progress star map designed by Dwight Williams, inspired by various works set in the Star Trek universe. The Bajoran and Cardassian home systems are highlighted with spot-colour rings. A scan of the map of the region from the book Star Trek: Star Charts is used as an underlay for reference as the work continues.
Placing #Bajor and #Cardassia is giving me fits tonight. Not for the first time either. I just want to find X-Y placements that fit what's been published and broadcast/streamed.

Excerpt from work-in-progress star map by Dwight Williams, uploaded 11 August 2025. Star systems highlighted include 5 Aurigae, HD 28474 and HD 283104, as proposed candidates for Vadia's host star.
Three candidates for Vadia's host star get most of my attention right now: 5 Aurigae, HD 28474 and HD 283104. Informed opinions/skuttlebutt welcome. #StarTrek #starmaps #starcharts #stellarcartography #fanmapfiction #astronomy

Excerpt from work-in-progress star map, focusing on the "Eminiar Gap" region of Star Trek's version of the Orion Arm of the Milky Way Galaxy. Real stars named in this region include Bharani, Lilli Borea, Prajapati, and Botein. Designer: Dwight Williams. Excerpt generated 19 July 2025.

Mapping the galactic region visited by Pike's Enterprise in "Hegemony I and II", from Lembatta to Kessik and from the "Solar Meridian" to Cestus. Black dots with blue text are systems I've assigned world from the FASA role-playing game, blue dots with blue text are worlds cited on screen but not given locations yet.
Trying to figure out the #StrangeNewWorlds "Hegemony I + II" neighbourhood in an #EdgeOfMidnight context. #astrocartography #StarCharts #StellarCartography

Working on multiple maps of the same region of #StarTrek 's version of our galaxy is fun. It's also research-intensive and time-consuming, especially where keeping the various maps consistent with each other is concerned.

Excerpt from work-in-progress map of the Rimward regions of space as depicted in Star Trek. Particular attention paid here to Rimward borders of Tholian Assembly-claimed space as it may affect the original Illyrian homeworld and its diaspora colonies nearby. Locations of Illyria, Hetemit, Persephone are subject to correction, but based on broadcast evidence in the Section 31 pilot movie, as well as episodes of Strange New Worlds.
In working on map stuff with the @tranquilitypress.bsky.social gang, I cross-referenced stuff like the #Section31 map with #StarCharts and #StellarCartography materials, and - pending corrections/additional data from other sources - got this result re: #Tholians and #Illyria. Thoughts, anyone?

Excerpt from Cardassian/Dominion Wars base map project by Dwight Williams. System TYC 3140-883-1 highlighted as candidate for Breen "capital" system. Not finalized yet for Tranquility Press fan fiction purposes.
I have a possible candidate for the Breen capital. It fits the X-Y plane coordinates published in #StellarCartography, although I'm not sure about the absolute magnitude from #StarCharts.
Opinions?

Excerpt from star map work in progress, focused on the Typhon Expanse and Ryton/Indus Nebula regions of Star Trek's version of the Milky Way Galaxy. Map designed by Dwight Williams, inspired by the work of Geoffrey Mandel, Larry Nemecek, Timothy Peel, Michael Okuda, Andrew Jarvis among many others. Except created 8 April 2025.
I'm having a thought that the Typhon Expanse and Ryton/Indus Nebula should perhaps be vertically "stacked" for the purposes of my @tranquilitypress.bsky.social #starmap projects.
I'm prepared to amend them...?

Screenshot of a work-in-progress map of the "Taurus Reach" region of the Orion Spur as inspired by the Star Trek: Vanguard novels and intended for use with various Tranquility Press-affiliated works of fan fiction. Highlighted is a proposed location for Starbase 47 as depicted in the Vanguard novels: an obscure star system catalogued as APASS9 25666241. Designed by Dwight Williams. Screenshot recorded and edited on 1 March 2025.
I've got a working theory for the location of #StarbaseVanguard...
Opinions welcome.

I don't think that 42 Ursae Majoris is a good candidate for the Persephone system. It looks like a potential neighbour when you view the galaxy from above/below, sure...

Excerpt from a star map designed with inspiration from the various Star Trek series and publications. Focused on the regions near the Hyades and Mira/Omicron Ceti...somewhere this side of Paradise.
While I'm worrying over a hundred other things, I wanted to share a bit more of a work in progress...

The first #StarCharts supplement for the new #VBAM edition is going to provide a map of the nearby stars and provide a canonical background for all of the various alien empires in the setting. This will let players replay historical engagements between the empires. Here is a WIP version of that map.

#StarTrek #StellarCartography question: when #StarCharts was first designed, was #Sheratan chosen as the host star of #Hanolan?
They seem close on the X-Y plane, and yet I suspect that I'm seeing another artifact of the designers working with #Hipparcos data...?
