I have now made a program that can generate good-looking hex maps in (almost) any size You like. Try it out here.

Generating Zhodani Worlds
[Just discovered these boards – hi everyone!]
I’ve asked this question in other fora (and even emailed Marc Miller!) but haven’t got a good answer yet. According to MM, the constraints of Zho society are incompatible with low pop worlds. This doesn’t seem to agree with the world generation rules in the Zhodani Alien Module (pop 1D+4 if starport X, else 2D-2). What are the correct rules to use? Should it be 1D+4 *except for* starport X (giving a flat probability distribution of pop 5 to A)?
Berka, I know you’ve got a Zhodani option in your subsector generator – what does it use?

TML landgrab
Berka or anybody else:
Anybody know the star for the Sheyou system and also I have encountered various conflicts in data about the Number of Planetiods, Gas giants and belts (111 as orpoosed to 411) anybody set me straight before I post a land grab)? Also any advice for the mapping and icons and such. Berka I really liked the way your Cipango system landgrab turned out.
Foreven Canon Question
I’m curious as to which parts of your Foreven sector are canonical and which are invented. The subsector names, the worlds placement, and the political borders are canon, yes?
I’ve found sources which claim that there are only 5 world names and UPPs in Foreven which are canonical: Alenzar, Raschev, Hollis, Reidain and Urnian. Is this correct?
While I respect the work put in on zho.berka’s version of Foreven, if you could also post a “just the canon” version of Foreven as well, it would make it a lot easier on Ref’s like myself who want to make use of the sector’s “Ref’s preserve” status for a homebrew campaign, but don’t have access to Imperiallines #1. We need to know which parts are OTU canon and which parts are open to development.
Thanks for your time and attention,

Your Fessor subsector map….
I have noticed that your planet icons bring an added dimension to the maps. I believe you developed them. Are they downloadable and how do you do such a nice job on those maps?
