Sample Sector Map

I made what I think is a good step forward in further 'low-teching' game resurces with this sample sector map. Eventually I'd like to complete similar maps for all major sectors and systems and actually do away with the need for the pretty and flashy but copyrighted Trek Starcharts. But that would really be such a huge undertaking that it would have to always sort of go on in the background. In the meantime, this opens the door for sector-wide scenarios. For this sector I have done a similar map for the major system (like the Sol System for which the Sol Sector is named), and then individual listings for each planet (what class it is). Part of the motivation for this is to make a Sector Assault, or Sector Encounter, if you want to throw diplomacy into it. I am planning to recreate the battle of Donatu Five, fought near Sherman's Planet. I'm also looking at "A Brief History of the General War" from Starfleet Battles for a possible expansion pack. But that will come after the "Enterprise: Xindi" expansion pack. Just a note on this and all text maps that I post here. I've noticed that when I email these things, sometimes the lines and numbers can slide a bit, and the coordinates that I note may not always match. I'm hoping that anyone copying them onto a text document or whatever text editor will find that they correct themselves. If they don't, sorry about that
