A Galaxy Map or Starchart would be excellent and introduce a whole new dimension to the subthemes and Space category as a whole. Imagine finding out you live in the same system as 3vil or the Iron Reich for that matter! Scary stuff.

Almost frightened to make the comparison but the LEGO Fire Dept. builders have a map - can’t find the link - showing their relative positions. Imagine a really detailed map, 1024x768 pixels, with links through the planets for more information on the different groups. Of course, you’d need a time-line too for the different eras. Getting interesting here.

I don’t write all that often but I could be brave enough to suggest a non-prize competition where everyone gets to submit a JPEG basic/detailed starchart showing the current information. Basically a starting reference from which a detailed map could be drawn.

Enter two more subthemes -

The Guild of Mapmakers

and

The League of Navigators.

Whatever.

Could be fun. If anyone has any ideas please comment. Perhaps we could agree to post some starcharts on Brickshelf and then link to them.

Of course, everyone will want to choose where they live - in Space - at what time, etc. Getting more detailed and demanding by the second here. I’ll just stop and post this.

This is a cool idea indeed! I'll have to get some more pictures together first, but hopefully you can add mine soon: Teurinoma.
