Are these the same images that appeared in the recent issue of the fan club magazine?

I could do without the "route of USS Enterprise A to the galactic core" though. Some things are best left alone.

Yeah, I'll echo Sol's statement. Opening the STV can of worms is not a good idea.

And the only other nitpick I can see is that on the galactic map the Hirogen network doesn't intersect Voyager's path in the Delta Quadrant.

And what's with Betazed being less than ten lightyears from the Cardassian border? And the "Tzenkethi Coalition"? Did I miss the assignment of a formal name to them?

Their government doesn't appear to have been given a formal name yet, at least not according to the Encyclopedia.

*shrug* According to these, Kirk was bumming around the Great Barrier...which is about half the distance to the Delta quadrant...in the very first episode of TOS and got back to skirmishing with Romulans and Klingons in time for tea.

Those Voyager guys are wusses.

Then why didn't Auntie Kate head for the nearest galactic route 66 onramp?

Must be a one-way traffic lane.

The leader in the episode was "the Autarch," so I always call them the Tzenkethi Autocracy.

Some speculation on why a 'warp highway' may not necessarily equal a 'get-out-of-the-delta-quadrant-free card.

Looking through the images again, there's some...well, oddness. Classes O and P, for instance? And I was under the impression that fan speculation had the class N as the extra-watery type.

Lovely pictures, though. Too small to really come to any conclusions, I suppose.

And who are the Hebitians?

The First Hebitian civilization was one of the predecessors of the Cardassian Empire. Gul Madred discussed the archaeological treasures of Cardassia with Picard.

A few nitpicks I've found:

1. How can Bajor be the location of a starbase designated DEEP SPACE Nine, when it's less than 60 light-years away from Earth?

2. The Badlands are not in the Demilitarized Zone, contrary to multiple DS9 references, as well as "Caretaker."

3. The NX-01 has travelled more than a hundred light-years in a single year, in 2151... but the Cardassians, who are only 70 light-years from Earth, are an unknown power until the 2330's?

4. Either a nice detail or a major error: all six Borg transwarp hubs are marked on the galactic map, along with Unimatrix One. If Seven of Nine knew the locations of all six hubs all along, then why didn't she warn Janeway about them before they entered the locale?

5. I can't read this for certain, but just to the left of the Badlands, it looks like a label says "USS Equinox lost (2373)." But if Ransom and his gang were yanked into the DQ by the Caretaker... how the hell did the old geezer manage that two years after he died?

6. Soukara, a Cardassian planet in the Algira Sector. This was the episode that Dax and Worf went to in "Change of Heart" -- in a dinky little runabout. They ran the gauntlet past Cardassia Prime and into the center of Cardassian-held space in a damn RUNABOUT? A border planet I could understand... but 10 to 15 light-years? Sheesh...
