All I could find
Astronomers make a real five-star find
Astronomers have found the very first quintuple star system consisting of two sets of eclipsing binary stars and one solo star.

Multiple Star Systems - NASA Science
Multiple Star Systems Our solar system, with its eight planets orbiting a solitary Sun, feels familiar because it’s where we live. But in the galaxy at large, planetary systems like ours are decidedly in the minority. More than half of all stars in the sky have one or more partners. These...

Very noice (Borat voice)
For those who remember the Bridge Commander video game, btw - I generally treat the Maelstrom as synonymous with the Arachnid Nebula. The game uses multiple locations, some wildly spaced.
Most notably, Cebelrai, which is a LONG way from everywhere else - and Alioth, treated as semi Cardassian-held.
It also has the first world called Nepenthe, long before Picard season 1, curiously enough.
And the Kessok, who I generally assume have settled somewhere along the general Breen borders.

Hmm - what's with Qualor and Barradus? Two planets that have had some ambiguous, but generally Romulan proximate placements, in the past.
Also, Berengaria probably is not too far from that side of the map, too, given Enterprise series related retcons of it.
Finally - Thor's Twins... has that been established in a particular source? (sounds neat)
Nice to get the Ushilev Nebula from Among the Clans in there, too.

I don't know of any in-universe source, but that is definitely a Hunt for Red October reference.
A proposed configuration for the Delta Triangle from "The Time Trap". Open to alternative candidates for the other two vertices, so long as they're close to the established X-Y coordinates...
Very nice. Wonder also what the Rhomboid Dronegar sector looks like (if it is comparably geometric...)
And to recap - have Qualor and Barradas changed locations, recently? (usually assumed near the Romulan Neutral Zone, and Rator)
The RNZ border is still where I've got Qualor and Barradas, I thought. Trying to keep everything consistent across four (or five?) maps is difficult, though it shouldn't be impossible.
Rhomboid Dronegar sector looks the same as most sectors in our region of the Orion Spur, I believe.

My apologies - the lack of visible borders sometimes throws me off a bit!
As for Dronegar - well, it sounds like they were going for a particular geometric, perhaps rhombic shape... but only the episode writer really knows what he was thinking there.
Memory Alpha suggests a link to Sector 006, but that is likely coincidental - as I described in my Sector Directory project, sectors can be abbreviated numerically in many ways, and it's likely many sound similar as a result.
If I can get a handle on Blender, I'd try my hand at that.
Meantime, I'm taking a look at adding in the Azlesa Expanse and several nebulae from Star Trek Online into the picture. An idea that's starting to take hold since last night is the idea that "Azlesa Expanse" is the popular Klingon name for what we're calling either Alessi 13 or the Chi-1 Fornacis Cluster (or is it a Moving Group?)...
Any thoughts on the matter?

Is the nearest star cluster to the Sun being destroyed?
Data from ESA’s Gaia star mapping satellite have revealed tantalising evidence that the nearest star cluster to the Sun is being disrupted by the gravitational influence of a massive but unseen structure in our galaxy.
