[QUOTE="Ozmar, post: 2626563, member: 8021"] I'm going to be somewhat vague on your exact position, primarily so you can be "close" to whatever mission seems fun for each "episode", and secondarily because there is not a precise or detailed map of the galaxy (and what is there is 2-D, to the 3rd-D borders might vary a bit. I like having the flexibility to put you near where you need to be.) That having been said, you are in a region of space that is near the borders of the Galactic Concord, Insight and VoidCorp, and pretty close to the edge of known space, far from the core worlds. On the map on Star*Drive p.40, I put you somewhere above the upper-right corner of black space near Insight, VoidCorp and Rigunmor. By a very rough approx, you're about 325 light years from Sol. (And in your ship, it would take about 1 to 1.5 years to travel to Earth.) You are, perhaps, 150 LY from Sheya, 250 LY from Aleer (the Mechalus homeworld), and about 1600 LY from the Verge. In the fastest ship, it would take about 200 days to travel to the Verge. News transmissions from the Verge are at least 15 days old, and probably older. Current date: Month 10, Day 4, 2501 (For simplicity, I am assuming that the galactic calendar is standardized to 12-months, 365 days, and measured in time units that conveniently match our own. They're probably measured off the wavelengths of some sub-atomic particle in atomic clocks at all major research and government centers.) Ozmar the Stellar Cartographer [/QUOTE]
