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 used to describe latitude and longitude is ''[[Standard HyperSpace distance unit]]'', or SDU.  The Starmap shows a 1000x1000 SDU section of space.

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 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 (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.
