Rather than having to cursor-hunt for the star across the whole map, you can just look on these charts!

Remember, though, that as of version 0.5.0, you can hit the '/'-key whenever you're on the starmap to search for a star's name. If you don't have an english keyboard layout where '/' is one key, but maybe german, and have to press shift + 7 or something, it might be a good idea to change the keyboard layout before starting the game because shift is in use already.

Use "setxkbmap us" in linux, and the regional settings in windows. '/' is the key left to the right shift key then.

These are a map of the Ur-Quan universe, with names. They are basically a screen capture of the in-game starmap, but with all the star clusters' and individual stars' names added. Thus, they make your life much easier when someone tells you "The ship is coming from the direction of Pollux" or "You should visit the Normae star cluster". Rather than having to cursor-hunt for the star across the whole map, you can just look on these charts!

Remember, though, that as of version 0.5.0, you can hit the '/'-key whenever you're on the starmap to search for a star's name. If the '/' key is inconveniently placed on your keyboard, you may want to change your key bindings.

The charts are on a gray, not black, background so that you can print them out and write notes on them.

All of the screenshots and information on them come from a new game, 10 seconds in; there are no spoilers and nothing you don't know when you start the game.

A text list of stars and their coordintes can be found at Star Coordinates.
