The Galactic Map provides an overview of the entire galaxy by breaking it down into quadrants, and overlays the sector quads. Since most of the galaxy is unexplored, further detail of most sector quads are not available. However, there are five locations in the galaxy that can access the Local Map Interface, and these areas are outlined in the Galactic Map. Simply move the cursor over these outlines areas for further information (found in the upper left corner), and click to zoom to the local map. Note: Not all local maps are currently available. | The Galactic Map provides an overview of the entire galaxy by breaking it down into quadrants, and overlays the sector quads.

The Local Map Interface utilizes a specific set of stellar charts from a particular galaxy exploration database. Usually, the local maps will indicate the borders of each of the major sovereign political governments known to exist in the area. These maps can range from a few hundred to a few thousand light years in size depending on the database. Because the maps show only the top two-dimensional view of the local area (the " | The Local Map Interface utilizes a specific set of stellar charts from a particular galaxy exploration database.
