[QUOTE]Originally posted by Guardian 2000: [QB] Mapping the Alpha Quadrant is a virtually impossible task. Any correct cartography (which Christian Ruhl's most certainly is not) must account for the following canon: 1. Klingon homeworld well within 100 light-years of Earth. 2. Romulan space 130 light-years from Earth as of ENT, with some part of the Neutral Zone being far enough away to make subspace contact sloooow (or a technobabble rationale for that). 3. The Cardassian border must have some part which is thousands of light years from Earth. 3a. From some perspective, the Cardassian Union must resemble the long object on the maps from DS9. 4. The Breen must be near the Cardassian DMZ, but also must be near the Klingons. 5. The Romulans and Cardassians must share a border. 6. The Klingons and Romulans share a border, of course. 7. Past Deneb should be a great unexplored mass of the galaxy. . . . and so on. Also, the map should preferably reflect something about the actual galactic neighborhood that we know about . . . the spirals, where we are in them, and so on. It is a daunting task, to say the least. I have yet to mentally hit upon the curly-Q formation that would be required . . . but I can tell you that it would just about have to be three-dimensional to allow the various borders. [/QB][/QUOTE]
