Hi Oystein,
relative to your post regarding the IS maps being political maps instead of jump maps (which made perfect sense once you mentioned it) since the three Mica and three Niops systems would (in a Jump map) be only one circle instead of three. I just have a few questions:
1) should I use your maps as (unofficial, of course) a jump map, which of the three Niops (and Mica) systems could I use as a placeholder for the system coordinate, should I use the middle-drawn circle, or do I take the midpoint of the three coordinates and plot the system "center" there?
2) are Silkeborg and Havdhem in Benjamin Military District of DC considered two nearby systems (like Terra & Rigil K) or two planets sharing the same star (such as Mica & Niops)
3) are all the circles inside Hyades Cluster & Flannagan's Nebula (Parian, Ishtar, Samantha, Taurus, Menion, etc) all part of the Hyades Star Cluster or independent systems?
4) how many systems are recognized in-universe as belonging to the Hyades Cluster? [as differentiated from the real-life 190+ star cluster, which is only ~150LY away, if memory serves]
5) are Badlands & Lorkdal part of the 50 stars in Badlands (later Pirates Haven) Cluster or are there 50 systems, plus those two?
6) like #7, are Merope, Maia, and Electra only prominent planets/systems inside the Pleiades Cluster, and there are 97 other systems within that region, or are there 100 systems aside from the three?
7) some maps show four circles inside Pleiades Cluster, while others [J:FR 3067 & 3081 map, FM:3085 3085 map, HB:MPS 3025, 3040, 3067 TC maps, HB:HD 3025, 3030, 3039, 3058, 3067 maps, among others] only show three. Is the 4th one an error, or does it represent a fourth significant [but accidentally unnamed] system?
