Map Question: Direct Line Between...
- Thread starter DEWLine
- Start date
Well, flying back and forth in Celestia between HIP 47513 (Gliese 361) and Tsze Tseang A (iota Leonis A), the only star I saw that seemed to 'pass by' was delta Leonis, listed in Celestia as Zosma.
It's 28.69 lys from HIP 47513 and 22.3 lys from Tsze Tseang, so a total route length of 50.99 lys (compared to the direct route of 46.71 lys).
There, of course, could be others that I didn't see but come on, Zosma...

Zosma's kind of young to be hosting planets, right? (Not ruling out intervention by Preservers, Organians, Metrons, Q, etc..)
Well, hold on, Dwight. Checking against a Zosma-centred chart via HYGMap...
Maybe this one: GJ 3652

Less than two light-years' distance between it and Zosma, so...?

Two more possibilities from Celestia, found by selecting each entry in the Star Browser closer to HIP 47513 than Tzse Tseang and noting the ones in the direction of the latter star:
Designation(s)------------------------------Spectral Class---------------Distance to 47513---------Distance to Tzse Tseang
HIP 56238......................................................M1....................................... 25.89 ................................28.76
HIP 53486 / HD 94765 /SAO 118578.............K0....................................... 24.99 .................................22.48
The star you mentioned isn't in my version of Celestia's database.

Yeah, Zosma is young but not too young for planets. Jupiter is estimated to have formed within the Solar System's first 3 million years after all and Zosma is 200-300 times older than that. So planets are a possibility
Too young for those planets to have life though, at least without help.
But, hey, this is Star Trek and how often do you get handed a RL name like Zosma for your fictional interstellar outpost?

Zosma (as Delta leonis) is in Beta Canon:

apparently it has a settlement known for shady deals.
i'd guess some sort of stopover port for commercial routes (perhaps a sort of 'space truckstop' for ships to refuel and get a quick bit of R&R during a long trip) that is just enough off the normal beaten path that smugglers and such like to go there.

Good point.
I'm going to have to upload some excerpt of what I've been doing soon...and I guess I'll link to that upload:

Sounds good. I'd be interested to see what sort of highways, tangents and routes can be plotted... including vertically, or 'between' some of the major Empires, too.
We got a hint of that with the 'Obol for Charon' map in Discovery.
And maybe, the Hekaras Corridor, is similar, too? But more geographically, than politically, defined.
