	These four charts comprise a map of the Ur-Quan universe, with various features named. It's basically a screen capture of the in-game starmap, but the names of all the star clusters, and those of some individual stars, have been added. This will make it easier for you when an NPC tells you "The ship is coming from the direction of Pollux" or "You should visit the Normae star cluster".

The vertical and horizontal lines which subdivide the map are 50 units of distance apart (however, the vertical and horizontal lines on the in-game map when you are in traveling in hyperspace are not 50 units of distance apart, but 20). Thus the opposite corner is at 1000.0 : 1000.0, so that the center of the four charts is at 500.0 : 500.0. You start at Sol, located at co-ordinates 175.2 : 145.0.
