> This is my favorite map, personally. Doesn’t really tell you size differences between the different governments but it shows you perspective on how far apart they are and even has other empires that’re usually left out, like the Ferengi Alliance and the Kazon sects.

That CAN’T be too scale, can it? The wormhole would be 1000 light years from Bajor at that scale and DS9 got there on it’s own power fairly quickly.

And it looks like Vulcan is a LONG way from Earth in that one.

Probably not, **Jonathan Chance** , but everything else seems to be where it belongs.

There’s one map on [ditl.org](http://ditl.org) that does a map of the Galaxy using actual star locations and maps from the series themselves to figure out where everything is but it’s quite a bit different from most maps. I’ll look for it in a few.
