Okay, MS Paint, here I come! I'm assuming that this is taking place in the Milky Way. Correct me if I'm wrong, Mattmanganon. AND FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, PLEASE MAKE A BETTER MAP IF ANYBODY HAS THE SKILL TO DO SO.

[hider=Milky Way Galaxy (unblemished)]
Here's this for claiming spaces.

Here's what I need from people:

|Civilization Name:
|Preferred Color (which you may not get):
|Second Color:
|System Name:
|Location: (angle); (distance) [these are estimations; distance is in intervals of 5,000LY on the map, angles at intervals of 10 degrees]

[repeat for all systems]

ex:

|Civilization Name: Kerbal Interstellar Program
|Preferred Color (which you may not get): Red
|Second Color: Black
|System Name: Kerbol
|Location: 269; 23,000 LY

Alternatively, go into MS Paint and edit your civ into that map!

PS: Galaxies are very, very big.
