	The '''Starmap''', or star chart, is the map of our corner of the galaxy. It is divided into a grid of 20x20 squares, with each square consisting of fifty degrees space-latitude by fifty degrees space-longitude. The canonical term ''[[Standard HyperSpace distance unit]]'', (or SDU ) is used to describe the degrees of distance in latitude and longitude. The section of space shown on the Starmap is 1000x1000 SDU and 1 000 000 sq.SDU.

	While viewing the map, the lowest X:Y co-ordinate is (002.0 : 002.1) and the highest is (999.9 : 997.7). The imaginary line connecting the two points is the [[Coreward]] direction and travel between the two points requires 141.3 units of fuel for the Flagship. Oddly, the Flagship can travel to the co-ordinates (000.0 : 000.0) and (999.9 : 999.9) which will be shown in the Navigation screen, but the ship's location on the map will be (002.1 : 002.1) and (999.9 : 997.7) respectively.

	The location of [[The Flagship]] is designated by a small grey ring and its selected destination by a pink compass star; the trajectory between the two points is represented as a dotted blue line and the projected fuel consumption is shown. While plotting course, the Flagship's range based on actual fuel will be expressed by a grey disc. When the Flagship makes contact with a race, their [[Sphere of Influence]] is added to the Starmap in the form of a coloured ring, with their name, that corresponds to the location of their fleet.

	~~===Navigation Mode===~~
	~~[[Image:Starmap nav grid.png\|right\|300px\|thumb\|Image 3: '''Navigation mode''' in main screen, with small green Starmap showing Flagship's relative location.]]~~

	In Navigation mode (Image 3), the main screen shows the Flagship's location, and to the right is a smaller, green mini starmap that shows the Flagship's immediate position with nearby stars and any approaching vessels.

	~~===Fuel Consumption===~~
	* To travel the entire length of one axis (ex: from the left limit of the map to the right) requires exactly 100.0 units of fuel.
	* To travel a diagonal line between corners (ex: from top left to bottom right) requires 141.3 units of fuel.
	* 1 SDU uses 0.1 unit of fuel.

	~~===Cardinal Points===~~
	Many Humans use the Cardinal Points to refer relative locations on the starmap. The North-South Axis runs from (500.0 : 999.9) to (500.0 : 000.0). The West-East Axis runs from (000.0 : 500.0) to (999.9 : 500.0).

	~~By this system, Human, Ilwrath and Pkunk space are all in the southwest of the region while the Supox and Utwig are in the northeast.~~

	[[Gamma cancri\|Gamma Cancri]] (500.6 : 501.1) is the closest star to the centre of the map and it falls within [[Ur-Quan Kzer-Za\|Kzer-Za]] and [[Ur-Quan Kohr-Ah\|Kohr-Ah]] [[Sphere of Influence\|space]].
