The Starmap is the map of our corner of the galaxy. It is divided into a grid of 20x20 squares, with each square consisting of ten degrees latitude by ten degrees longitude.
While viewing the map, the lowest X-Y co-ordinate is (002.1 : 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 grey circle and its possible 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. When the Flagship makes contact with a race, their Sphere of Influence is added to the Starmap in the form of a coloured circle, with their name, that corresponds to the location of their fleet.
In Navigation mode, The Captain is viewing the Starmap, to the left is a smaller, green map that shows the Flagship's immediate position with nearby stars and any approaching vessels.
