Edge of Midnight Base Map - A Work in Progress

I've been working on this for fun, for mental health, for skills retention and development. It's inspired by Star Trek: Star Charts and Stellar Cartography, of course, and ties into a work of fan fiction as historical textbook: The Edge of Midnight - A Narrative of the Federation-Klingon Cold War (2256-2293). There are some *ahem* deviations from the work in those first two volumes, some of them per the text of Seamus Devenish, others via the out-of-print FASA-published Star Trek Role-Playing Game product line. Where not confirmed by Star Charts and Stellar Cartography, or stated in the text of The Edge of Midnight, the choice of host stars for many planets is mine, with no small additional input from Jed Whitten's HYGMap website and Kevin Jardine at GalaxyMap.org.

I do expect that CBS/Paramount and their Star Trek production partners retain the right to ignore any or all of this material as it suits them.

Again, this is a work in progress. If you have informed opinions on how I might fill in the remaining gaps, feel free to comment. I won't promise to either heed or ignore you.

If you want to read the material that inspired this project, I recommend you to visit this website. EoM-DisputedZone-1Oct2023-A

Pericles Project

This is something I've been toying with off and on for a few years. Inspired by SHIELD - the Marvel Comics soldier-spy organization - and some of the work of people in comic books, movie-making and TV series adaptations of the comic books. Eliot R. Brown, Jayse Hansen, Rick Sternbach and Mike Okuda (No, those two have yet to be hired by Marvel for either TV or film work, but they ought to be!)...and it led to this latest step: laying out a single deck on my version of a Helicarrier.
