I wanna make a Map of the Galaxy Since people (me) all dont wanna be on earth im in the process of making one input would be nice.

I gonna use a map i have in a science room i have at school and just add to that

Nargopia is a planet in orbit around the star Alpha Centauri.

Well jsut to let ya know that you will have one of the biggest tasks on NS next to recording a history of each nation. I'm sure you will need atleast afew others helping you with htis task since you have to deal with several hundred claims on star systems, disputed claims, and other such htings.
Good Luck and hope it turns out.

great tell all yours freinds that arent earth based to report somethign a planet, a solar system, a sector to let me know where they are.

and a history of he planet, solar systemand so on, would make great fluff

*Whistles* That's quite an undertaking.

My main planet is named Christmas in orbit around the start Gliese 710. I haven't written much about it, but that's what you need for a map.

make my own

thats what ive limited it down too, ill just delete all the names of planets and places of where theyll be.

Alpha Centauri has been claimed for quite some time, as far as the "first" NS universe is concerned. It is owned in its entirety by the United Star Empire of Valinon and several semi-autonomous realms that recognize the Star Empire's right to make foreign policy, security policy, et cetera. The "second" NS universe Alpha Centauri (commonly known as Beta Centauri, I do believe) is under the Fedral Union's control. Beyond that I do not know, but if you wish to make a claim to anything in Alpha Centauri beyond the extent of a treaty port or treaty polity, please clarify that you are working in one of the "alternate" NS galaxies. They are numerous and I believe up to four or five now.

Do you have links to these alternate Universes?
Valinon

No, I do not, as I really do not bother too much to keep up with them.

well im making a galaxy/universe map big enuff for hundreds of thousands of planets and moons so not one coalition can control the whole galaxy/universe

its just too big

oh and phalanix this is a first come first serve kinda thing,

And for the rest of you, Alpha Centauri is a star system, not a planet

3 stars. so if you wanna live on a star go right ahead

earth can have several claims so can the rest of the planets in our solar system, ill depict that one later

Nothing personel but it being a first come first serve kinda thing might annoy several nations that have held claims for a longger while than most nations. but hey I don't care!
Mark me down for Epsilon Eridani!
EDIT: Also I forgot to mention that I've had this claim for almost 1 year and 8 months (yes it was on the old server) and no one contested it in the past and if anyone contests it now I will give them a good smack and point out who realy owns that system.
EDIT2: Ya I forgot my other system. It is simply refered to as the Crystal System and has no RL placement but it is 50 lightyears from Epsilon Eridani.

I live and rule throughout the Orion Sector exclusively, although numerous nations and planets live just outside its border. I have had this claim since my founding numerous real life years ago and this claim is not to be contested. The planets and people within the sector are RPed under my discretion.

Seito is near the center of Sirius. It would be cool if you could put it there.
No endorse

I'ma work on a rough map of where I be. I'm a small cluster of systems, but it looks wierd and doens't have any names or relations to RL, so I'm cool with a placement anywhere. Map forthcoming.

I own 8800 lys of space ,centering from terran prime(home world), witch is in the mid section between sol and the galactic center

I own 8800 lys of space ,centering from terran prime(home world), witch is in the mid section between sol and the galactic centerI suppose that this is not a 8800 LY long string with (Given the star density around Earth, which is lower than it is closer to the galactic center, so this is actually a rather conservative estimation) would result in roughly 2200 systems and a population density of 1.52 million people/ system (Or about 1/4341 the population density of sol, IRL), but a roughly circular area with a radius of 4400 LYs, this resulting in an area of 60821233 LY^2, with perhaps 950331 stars inside, giving us a population density of about 3500 TFU citizens/ system, or, even more 'realistic', since the galaxy is threedimensional, isn't circular but instead comparatively ellipsoid-shaped, lets say, with a max height of about, uh... 1/10 your territories' diameter (The galaxy is, after all, not exactly spherical)? This resulting in a volume of about 3.568e10 cubiclightyears under TFU control... Equivalent to approximately 69.7 million systems, giving you a population density of about 48 citizens/ system?

OR is it 'only' 8800 cubiclightyears, resulting in about seventeen systems under TFU control, which would be vaguely less utterly, stupidly, hilariously and unfeasibly huge?

DA - Well, we can hope...

Kajali space controlled space comprises the Pleiades, giving a figure of about 52 cubic light years, I guess. Basically, it's the entire cluster. 400+ stars, not nearly as many habitable... Tis a good hiding place. Stay out? Hee. ^_^ Kajal possesses four core worlds and a myriad of small colonies and outposts within 2000 ly of the core worlds, and the vast majority of the population lives on the core worlds anyways.

Referencing this (http://www.pleiade.org/pleiades_03.html). Wikipedia says something of a diameter of 12 ly.

Note: This claim has conflicted with that of Atlantian Outcasts, who is slightly older than I. However, since I do believe they claim an exhorbitant amount of space anyways...

Well, we'll see if it's still a problem soon.

in his defense, the Third Imperium, from the roleplaying game Traveller (and its various successor games) consists of 12,000 star systems, hundreds of trillions of beings, and stretches from roughly the area around Sol coreward to the areas around Deneb and Antares.... and its been an active RP universe since 1977

However, there is no reason anyone would have to recognize the claims of anyone else unless they intend to roleplay with them I would think.

wow that fact that you came up with that is amzing , but the fact i didn't read it is even more amazing.

im gonna try and have this up by the end of next month.
nice website that allows me to change stuff and add new planet or remove in those extreme cases planets as the rp/story/however this works out proceeds.

Thanks everyone

Otagia lays claim to several star systems (6 in total) in the Perseus Arm. Place them where you like, preferably about half-way up it in one clump. Systems are named Otagia, ONS-1412, ONS-1411, ONS-1511, ONS-15-12 and ONS-1513. the 14-- series denotes stars with habitable planets in orbit, the 15-- series denotes stars with rich mining to be had within the system. Nearby star-systems belong to Ald Rhun, Blood Space Wolves, and Arizona Nova.

Enjoy!

o_0 Where did you come up with that? I voided that claim when I realized someone had claimed it a month before I had...and this all probably took place over a year ago. I then, with few noticing, magicly changed my location from the Pleiadies to that of a 20 star....erm...star cluster that I made up. Its close to Earth, and is blocked from Earth's view by a nebula (in order to keep the night sky revetivily normal). And hey, I don't have to worry about anyone desputing my claim. That is, unless they are delibertly asking to get their ass kicked to the far side of the Andromada Galaxy....so to speak. Or if I have allowed them to settle, wich if they ask me in advance, I have no problem with. I still have several uninhabited class M, O, or H planets that are availible.

And besides that, I have no other holdings (aside from a small planetoid in Sol's Kuiper belt, which a shipyard of mine orbits. Oh...and a small plot of land in my region's capital on Earth). So your claim that I claim a very large...claim..is unfounded.

As for this thread...I advise against a general map. Many others, myself included, have tried this many a time. It ends with hundreds of n00bs with populations of under 500 million claiming whole nebulas and dozens of star systems at a time, in an attempt to "grab land before its gone". Your best bet for a map? A regional one, if your region has many a space nation. Thats my two cents, at least.
