/strek/ - Star Trek

>>1547

that's possible but it's never been hinted at as far as i can tell

>>1536

Since the universe is practically flat a 2D map will be a good approximation of reality, however the canon will be confusing in the making of maps in ST

>>1536

also the romulan/cardassian border part in the Dominion war is easily explained due to the occupation of Betazed, and with the occupation and extra occupied space their borders could easily be next to each other

>>1555

Dominion were crossing the border pre-Betazed occupation and it was heavily hinted at throughout the show that the Cardassians had a lot of contact with Romulans.

Wasn't there an official 3D Star Trek map or at least part of a map shown at one point in a show that showed Federation territory? I think if I recall correctly it had the Federation roughly on the bottom with Romulans and Klingons on top of them and to one side.

>3D map

Any programs you could use for free to get started on this?

>>1536

Why are there two DS3's?

>>2839

>>2878

The people who make these maps aren't true autists. Which is why literally every map is contradictory and wrong according to lore.

>>2886

>Which is why literally every map is contradictory and wrong according to lore

The truth is whatever we make it.

That's what we're all here for right? To rewrite star trek for normalfags

>>2888

No brother, we are here to start the fire! and to actually show the normalfags the truth

I actually did a dig around for 3D Map software for creating your own galaxy. Turns out there is actually a fair bit aimed towards RPG players. Problem is nothing is really free so not that useful to your average poorfag anon.

>>2945

I might give it a go when I am feeling particularly autistic.

>>7303

but your map is 3d, look closer

>>7321

Perhaps you should read that post again instead.

>>7326

still, its isometric

But yeah i fucked up

>>7303

A 3D map may make some sense on a micro scale, but at macro representation, the galaxy appears mostly flat.

>"The Milky Way is a flat disk roughly 100,000 light years across and a few thousand light years thick (depending on how you measure it). It has the same proportion as a stack of four DVDs"

>>2839

>Federation encircles both the Klingon and Romulan Empires

The hell?

>>2888

Making a better map for our own amusement and autistic demand for consistency, more like. We have folk over in /tg/ who want to do the same for 40K. Throne save us.

>>11724

>>Federation encircles both the Klingon and Romulan Empires

I'd take most maps with a grain of salt as there are far too many inconsistencies with lore. Though if consider true it is pretty hilarious.

>THE ROMULAN EMPIRE WANTS WAR!

>LOOK HOW CLOSE THEIR EMPIRE IS TO OUR BASES!

>>11725

Hah. Also leads me to think that a civil war is in the Federation's future, between the distant periphery and the besotted core.

>>11736

Well as soon as the Maquis became a thing the Federation have no choice but to face a civil war in their future. Even after their colonies got wiped out do you think the families and friends of the people who were literally betrayed and then left to die by the Federation will forget?

A collapsed Federation was funny enough also the idea for a proposed Star Trek series

Be warned, this page is full of memes.

>McQuarrie and Singer were to write and direct the pilot, with Burnett to produce alongside Singer's Bad Hat Harry Productions, similar to Singer's arrangement on House. The proposal was completed in 2006 and sent to Singer (who was in post-production on Superman Returns).(citation needed • edit) Noted Thorne, "Everyone seemed very happy with the pitch and were about to present it." (The Fifty-Year Mission: The Next 25 Years, p. 751) While the document was being refined for a pitch later in the year, in April Paramount announced development of Star Trek with J.J. Abrams, and the proposal was never given to the studio.(citation needed • edit)

AAAAAAAAAAAAARGH

The Federation can't collapse, not at least until Daniels era in the 30th or 31st century. Not enough bad blood and history has developed in the Federation for that to happen. The Maquis might cause a minor civil war but that is it. Who in their right mind wants the Federation to collapse? They give people free energy and replicators. The border dispute with the Cardassians is really a minor thing.

>>1536

If the Klingons have no border with Cardassia, then how did that war happen and why was it even allowed to take place?

the map for Star Trek is easily the worst ball dropped in Sci Fi history.

>>2839

>>2839

The shittiest one, thanks to the dumbassery of the Romulans letting themselves be surrounded. They are supposed to have a wide frontier on the other side of their space from the Federation.

>>1547

The galaxy is flat, m8

>>11753

There isn't really a canon one that's the thing and most of the community is too Fed centric i.e. Retarded to actually think about what they are doing.

>>11753

They just flew around the federation instead of through it, duh. They travel nine times faster than the speed of light.

>>11749

>the Federation can't collapse, not at least until Daniels era in the 30th or 31st century

Remember how in ENT, Future Guy was supposed to be Archer? And when Archer's does some risky time travel in Shockwave, Future Guy suddenly stopped returning calls (perhaps because he no longer existed) and the future was also destroyed? "Daniels Fed" is not an inevitable outcome.

>>7329

It doesn't need to be a map of the entire galaxy. Just a relatively small section of it. Crossing all of Federation space is a reasonable trip, crossing the galaxy takes decades.

If you overlap a lot of these territories inside the Federation lore starts to make sense.

>>16523

Ferengi have never been in a war. Federation causes one to start every Tuesday.

>>16869

Just image search it.

I've always assumed the major powers have large gaps of unclaimed space between their territories. The show is really only i860gives vague indication of where they're located relative to each other. Then again, I'm not really aware of any official maps other than of small areas in certain episodes.

>>17000

>I've always assumed the major powers have large gaps of unclaimed space between their territories

That's basically what the Neutral Zone is, no?

>>17002

I guess, but that's a bit more like a buffer zone they agree to stay out of to avoid war more than space no one wants or needs yet.

>>7303

What are those ships even?

>reddit chart considered canon by plebs

>Ignore that it was routinely stated that Dominion went through Romulan border to hammer the Feds.

So after thinking about Star Trek maps, why isn't the Federation completely surrounded? Also considering the distancebetween Earth and the Delphic expanse how badly did ENT fuck canon?
