Oblivion Starmap

These are the completed versions of the Olbivion Starmap. A compilation of all the current lore work put into this worldbuilding project circa. 2025. 1 - Base 2 - Mashup of the following 2 3 - Political Map 4 - Region Map.

Every named star, Every named planet, has at LEAST 1 paragraph of lore that I can recite. There may be some that have slipped the cracks, but all in all. This is less an expansion and more a compilation. Likely more versions and additions and expansions and updates to come, but for now. She's REAL.

I Think, just maybe, I might have gone a liiiiittle overkill. Explaination Document coming whenever that is done.
