Of course you are right, but I hesitate to put the chart on the forum. I am
using the "Honorverse" of David Weber's "Honor Harrington" novels as the
background universe for my setting, and Mr. Weber is well known for his ex-
treme dislike of unlicenced use of his ideas - as fas as I have been told
(well, warned) he has already "killed" at least one fan project, and I do not
want to cause the forum any trouble.
However, I can provide a link to a map of the "Honorverse":
http://harrington.suewebik.net/obrazky/mapawall2.gif
This is a detailed map of the "Honorverse". In the "far north" of the map you
will find Basilisk, which is connected with Manticore through a wormhole over
a distance of 210 lightyears.
Pharos IV is in the Demara Sector (my invention, not on this map),"left above"
Basilisk, about 43 light years from Basilisk.
There is a chart of Demara Sector, but it is hardly more than a sheet of paper
with a dozen dots, some of them named.
Now, other people contributing to the shared universe will hardly want to use
the "Honorverse", I think.
Therefore we could concentrate on the Gates as connections of the setting
(which would allow us to ignore star charts almost entirely), or we could de-
sign some long-range connections (like the wormholes of the "Honorverse"),
which would allow us to ignore the "space between", too.
And, of course, I could "transport" Pharos IV from the "Honorverse" to a com-
mon background universe of the shared universe worlds, although this would
force me to rewrite lots of history, politics and diplomacy.
