Looking for a map for Traveller (ca.1981) that was called The Imperium. It showed all the regions of space and had some of the sectors labled.

I would like to see it so I could do some research.

Are you thinking of the old poster map? Black, with white sector grid and red political boundaries. Maybe a dozen sectors labeled.

Steve Hazuka04 Nov 2009 2:55 p.m. PST

yep. that's the one

Ask, and thou shalt receive: travellermap.com

Note that it's zoomable (double-click where you want the center to be). Really, really zoomable.

For more info, including the origin of that map and alternates, see travellermap.com/info.htm

Thanks for the link. It's a great way to do a map.

Fantastic. Now my players can have a map on the computer as they play.

That's a great link.

WOW!

No, not the map, that's great.

The second link has some information that's interesting in a six-degrees-of-separation sort of way. I know Jim Vassilikos and he never told me that he'd created a sector mapping software.

I'll have to bug him about that.

Wow, that is a real blast from the past, love it in candy mode…

What a great find, thanks for linking that map.

Great site has anyone done the same for Star Wars?

Farstar05 Nov 2009 12:35 p.m. PST

I doubt it. There are nice poster maps of the Star Wars Galaxy, but no such thing as a star-by-star tour. Star Wars is all about the fun places to visit, not the boring ones in between.

We prefer to think of the boring planets as places to hide from the authorities :)

Feh..small time smugglers then….the boring planets are places to BE the authorities ;P

Farstar10 Nov 2009 1:46 p.m. PST

Well yes, but if too many smugglers gravitate to a boring place, it ceases to be boring.

OMG, that map is brilliant. The memories from 25 years ago!
