I have been meaning to ask this for a while. A good number of planets have been given grid maps over the last few years. I am not sure if it all of them, but it is certainly a lot of them get a small system map in the lower right corner. Often featuring the first 5(ish) planets of the system and moons.

Kandersteg III has one moon, it is listed right in the planet profile on page 4 of the Touring the Stars book, but does anybody know that Kandersteg IV also has a solitary moon? Likely not, and nobody is likely to care but there is also that chance that that story submitted to Shrapnel set in a mining colony on Kandersteg IVs second moon might be pretty good!

My Question is:
Are the grid maps canon or are they to be considered as more of a toolbox like the jump maps in recent products like IKEO?

Touring the Stars maps and system maps are canon maps of a star system and can be considered a general facsimile of the system for gaming.

Look, dude, when you are a real mechwarrior you don't need to get all dressed up in cooling suits and cool helmets to work on your mech. You just strip down to your 1980s panties and crop top vest and start wrenchin' it.
