       To celebrate #StarTrekDay, here is a map of the major Star Trek regions overlaid on a real map of the Milky Way. Although some episodes involve long journeys, the Federation, Romulan Star Empire, Klingon Empire and so on are all located within 150 parsecs inside the Local Bubble.

       This is an update of a previous map. Star Trek "sort of" takes place in the Milky Way and some writers reference real stars in what appear to be actual locations so there is enough information to create such a map.Oddly, however, Star Trek never seems to reference many major nearby objects including star clusters such as the Hyades and Coma. I keep putting up versions of this map hoping that it will inspire Star Trek writers to include more real cartography in their scripts. 🙏

       This is a top down map of the galactic plane with a radius of 150 parsecs (about 500 light-years) with the galactic core to the right.
