Just wait till star trek Goes out of the Milky-way Galaxy then it will be more Interesting

I wonder how they will handle that.

Very good map. I always enjoy seeing interpretations of the Trek galaxy.

I've been all over the place looking for good ST maps and I have to say yours are by far the best I've seen
Nice representation of the galactic powers, the Delta quadrant parts really showcase just how much ground Voyager covered and how much control the Borg have.
I've heard some criticisms about how the Federation is bigger than the Romulans but that's probably just a 2D-3D issue, I imagine much of the Fed territory is quite thin especially far out from the centre while the Romulans and Klingons have greater volume
But the best thing I like about your map is the scale, how even the Dominion, one of the largest territories is small compared to the rest of space and the Feds is even smaller. Gives a real sense of how much of the galaxy is still to explore and how a nasty alien race bent on galactic conquest could easily be lying next door.
Again a brilliant map, love it

Thank you very much. I tried to make it as real as I could for what is a 2D map.

Pretty good.But its been stated a few times in the novels that the Romulan Star Empire is much larger then the federation.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yes, but I was basing this on canon information.

As an aside, I am always bothered by these maps not being able to show the 3D side of things, Klingon and Cardassian territory must wrap around federation space at least somewhat, be it above or below or something. After all they were at war with the Cardassians in DS9, so they either share a border with them or they flew above or below federation space to get to them. They certainly didn't go THROUGH federation space.

This is somewhat of an issue which is difficult to deal with. Creating three dimensional maps of this is possible but it would be hard to do, especially when dealing with something of this magnitude. Also in order to display it properly you would need to be able to revolve around it in all directions and zoom in and out.

well I was thinking more something along the lines of maybe a "side view" rather than the usual "top down" of sorts.

I've seen allot of these around, they seem to use the same Milky way graphic each time but the territories are always different, this one is by far the most accurate, as most of em seem to forget just how little of the galaxy is actually explored in Trek. Making the territories WAY too big.

there is a debate as to just how large the Federation is. Many point to the quotes from the show indicating 10,000 or 8,000 light-years across. Myself and others see this as the Federation being spanned across this distance at its farthest points but the majority of it being only a few hundred light-years.

Nice one, they are always saying how much of the galaxy is unexplored but it's just a number until you see it like this.

Its never easy finding the actual map of the series such as Babylon 5, Star trek or Halo but this seems to fit the areas of where they should be. good work on it. Maybe help with my own maps ^^

Yeah, I know what you are saying. Thank you.

Every map of the Galaxy that I have seen... be it from fans, or from Paramount, I always ask the same question... why did Janeway choose THAT route for Voyager, when it only would have taken her two years to get to the Delta Quadrant, and use the Wormhole to make it back to Bajoran space?
Going that way, she could have avoided Borg Space, and a LOT of death, and destruction of her crew, and got them home a lot quicker... to what end did she take the long way around? Why were so many on her crew so wrapped up into a two dimensional (or even three) that none of them could bring that to her attention? I mean... I expect a mistake of that scale to come from a human (well, a human of this century) but not her Vulcan crew members? Unless there was some other motivation?
That has always bothered me about that series (even if it is one of my favorites)

The Bajoran wormhole led to the Gamma quadrant, so I don't see what you mean there.
But to make a long story short, the producers wouldn't have had a show if Janeway had been smart. After all, she only needed to put a time bomb on the Caretaker's array and use the array to get back home. Moments after they left the bomb would go off, and problem solved.
π: 0 β©: 1
True... as for the wormhole... it went two ways... from Bajoran space to the Gama Quadrant, and from the Gama Quadrant back to Bajoran space (Alpha Quadrant)
The Gama Quadrant is between the Delta Quadrant and the Alpha Quadrant, but rather than go the rout of the Gama Quadrant, and catch the wormhole, she chose to take the long way, the opposite direction, through the Beta Quadrant... a rout that would take her through the heart of the Klingon Empire, as well as the Romulan Empire... she might get away with getting through the Klingon Empire, but the Romulans aren't as quick to listen to reason (wow... did I just say that Klingons listen to reason faster than Romulans? Well, the Klingons live by a different code of honor than Romulans... and are far less suspicious that every little tiny thing is some conspiracy against them...)
Anyway... look at the Galactic map, and check out the maps in system47, which shows the position of Voyager about one solar year before their homecoming... they were slightly farther in light years than they would have been from Dominion space (which is where the Gama Quadrant side of the worm hole is) had they simply gone the other direction... that, plus, if the array, and the worm hole were indeed related some how (as they speculate in season one) than following a path to the worm hole, between where the array was, and that destination, would give a much higher probability of finding another spatial anomaly that could bring them home much quicker...
π: 0 β©: 1
I see, so if they had turned right instead of going straight (facing Fed space), they could have crossed into the gamma quadrant and reached the wormhole. Though I do think the distance would still be close enough, that she may be justified in the course she did take.
π: 0 β©: 1
Well, looking from Galactic North, and down, she wasn't going straight ahead... they have established in Star Trek, that ships cannot breach the galactic core (and in reality, if it is a singularity that keeps the galaxy intact, then crossing the core would be bad) so looking from the proverbial "top" she was navigating clockwise around the galaxy, while counter clockwise would have got her home quicker, via the wormhole...
Unless of course all of the maps and information that we have about Star Trek so far are incorrect, and the Dominion, and the wormhole are not on that side of the Galaxy, and the Klingons, and Romulans border the Gama Quadrant, rather than the Beta Quadrant (though, I do believe that Star Trek has already established that the Klingons, and Romulans are indeed half in the Beta Quadrant... which just confirms that Janeway went the wrong way... the long way... the rout that would take 80 years, as opposed to closer to five...)
Mayhap the conspiracy theories that her Marque crew members kept coming up with had some sort of merit? I mean... I don't want to sound like a sympathizer... but... I do see an illogical course of action if her goal truly was to get her crew home, while not violating the Prime Directive... and it is rather suspicious that she chose to put everyone at risk to not only take the long way, plus cross Romulan space, but to have to brave it through Borg space as well... "We were lost" may cut it when the Romulans protest a Federation ship violating their territory, but, I see no action other than assimilation for violating Borg Space...
Either action could be considered an act of war, and I honestly don't see the Romulans sitting idle and NOT pointing out that she deliberately took a longer route with the intentions of SPYING on outer Romulan colonies, and their mining guild! DOES THE FEDERATION DENY THEY HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE DESTRUCTION OF ROMULUS ON STARDATE 64390.1 ??? Isn't it suspicious that a Starfleet Captain would intentionally brave the Borg Sphere, on a path that would lead them right past the Hobus system, right at the point when the primary star would go nova, thus destroying the empire???
I find too much coincidence in this for it all to be an accident, or chance! As I am sure the Romulan High Council would as well.
(wow... I may be taking this just a tad too seriously...)

Actually I don't consider any events of star trek XI canon so there is no conspiracy in my view.
π: 0 β©: 1
But it is only not canon because Janeway was forced back by a so called "future Janeway" thus avoiding the disaster! But believe me... had she continued on her course... we would all be living in a JJ Abrams designed universe! And do any of us want that? DO WE!?!
hehehehehehe... I like making fun of JJ Abram's vision of Trek... because it's so easy to do... I mean seriously... why did the Enterprise interiors look like a brewery? Cement floors, really!?! Tubes of water, and giant blades that seem to serve no purpose other than to ad drama to the crew men that may happen to get caught inside? What? Did the designers of Galaxy Quest design that ship? They did know that Galaxy Quest was a parody, right? And damn... they will go do all sorts of time travel stuff to save Earth, or stop a war, or save a single crew members... but... screw Vulcan? I mean, yeah, the Vulcans are kinda portrayed as snobbish pricks and all, but still... seems kinda messed up that their attitude to a time traveler destroying an entire world, and changing all of history would get more than an "oh well... nothing we can do about it..."
I'm really surprised that the Q didn't come in and fix things... or... those time cop guys from Enterprise... what? Were they sleeping or something? On a union break, and couldn't be bothered?
So... I'm gonna go invent a warp drive now... it apparently involves a lot of water tanks, and purposeless tubes of water everywhere designed to create plot tension...
Oh, and while we're at it... seriously? Kirk gets dumped from the ship, and only lands a km or so from where Spock was dumped off... and that's only a few km from the outpost? Hell, I crashed a plane once, and you know how close I was to ANYONE!?! Yeah... not even the slightest bit on the map!

At first sight Federation space seemed way to small but after a little research...itΒ΄s very accurate. Even the Krenim Empire is much larger than the Federation, more than double of the size. Those are impressive guys, I always loved them, meddling with time so much.
However, one tiny thing: The Kazon by all good means canΒ΄t posses this much of the galaxy. To primitive, donΒ΄t you think?
π: 0 β©: 1
I agree. I am going to do a little more research when I have time and readjust all of the sizes for each power. The Kazon have far too large a territory.
π: 0 β©: 0
that's really impressive 
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah. I would like to make a map for the 23rd century myself, but there isn't much information to go on. I suppose I can try for a map for Enterprise and then bridge the gap for the 23rd century.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yes, I suppose the Original Series wasn't so hot on detail as some of the later ones... Enterprise is difficult, since some of it follows (or precedes) TOS quite accurately, and some of it just doesn't...

I never would have thought the Malon and Hirogen areas would be larger than the Federation.
X3 I think you should add the Caretaker's array to this map... just so we can see how far Voy had to go. Oh, and that nebula where they found the transwarp hub.
π: 0 β©: 3
Now the Hirogen were nomads weren't they? Or am I confusing them with someone else, if that is the case then it would explain their larger area of control.
π: 0 β©: 1
To be honest i'm not sure... they were hunters though
π: 0 β©: 0
I think I'll try to see if I can do that. Yes I need to rethink the sizes of some of these areas.
I compiled all of my information to create these maps from:

cheers for the links! I'll have to check back when you've made the additions X3

It got at least as far as the Kazon Sects.

Damn. When you can just see how small the Federation is and how much of the rest of the galaxy is unexplored... just wow.
π: 0 β©: 1
Crazy huh? I did chose to go with the side that leans toward smaller territories for the local powers. But this way there can be a whole lot more exploration! Also since ships are getting faster (my Enterprise goes over 100,000c - though I won't say how much over) so they will be able to cover more of that distance in a shorter period of time.
