[QUOTE]Originally posted by Harry: [QB] [URL=http://flareupload.pleh.net/uploads/265/starchart1.png]Star Chart[/URL] (350KB PNG). What started out as yet another Kzinti/Tzenkethi/etc brainstorm, turned into a star charting project, based on Christian R�hl's charts and Mandel's Star Charts. The original Star Trek Maps uses the old 'Federation Treaty Zone' sphere, which doesn't work well for the post-TOS series, so it's of little use. However, once I find a way to convert those Map coordinates to galactic coordinates, I might check out some of those locations. A note on fandom: I have no problems using long-standing speculations if nothing else contradicts it. For example, there's no reason not to place Cait in orbit around 15 Lyncis. One big exception is Andor/Epsilon Indi. Epsilon Indi has been mentioned several times on-screen, and never in combination with Andor. I use Mandel's suggestion of Procyon as Andoria's primary. - Qo'nos and the Romulan homeworlds are closer to Sol than on the other two charts. The Klingons are closer to compensate for the early ENT contacts, and the Romulans are a bit closer to facilitate the Romulan War. The Romulan War theatre of operations is now about 60 ly from Earth. - The Cardassian DMZ is south of Bajor space, roughly matching the shape seen on the Tactical Maps on DS9. This leaves a bit of an awkard gap north of Bajor though.. - I've added the various minor empires from Star Fleet Battles/Starfleet Command. If you don't like that, color their empires red and call it Klingon space :p For the uninformed: The Mirak are a copyright-friendly copy of the Kzinti used in one of the Starfleet Command PC-games. The Lyrans, Hydrans, Mirak/Kzinti, Klingons, Gorn and Tholians have fought wars in every possibly combination, it seems. To account for the large number of wars that involve Kzinti-like forces, I'd like to propose that Kzintioids are quite eager to call some minor skirmish a War. And of course, if another skirmish happens three years later, it's called a Three Year War. Very quickly, this is my take on the Kzin timeline: Early 22nd century: Kzinti send 4 attack waves to Alpha Centauri/Sol. They are quite easily defeated by Earth forces. Early Federation: Treaty of Sirius. Interstellar Kzinti Patriarchy falls apart. M'Dor will become a bit of a nuisance for the E-D (in some novel). Tzenkethi will succesfully retreat from the Treaty of Sirius, and slowly rebuild a new empire. The Mirak Star League is the result of another early 22nd century campaign similar to the one to Alpha CEN. The Lyrans and the Caitians are merely ancient (possible) offshoots of the Kzinti.
