Star Hero/Traveller Hero star map request:

[Bygoneyrs]

Hello everyone,

I got my copy of PAH yesturday and read it from cover to cover!!!
Now I am awaiting the arrivial of Book One and Two of Traveller Hero
next.

So I have decided to combine my idea of PAH (Gamma World) and
Traveller/Star Hero together. I need to ask for a realistic resource
of star located around the Sol (Earth system). I am looking for real
systems locations star charts. Does anyone have good reference
to point to for me. I can not find my stuff for Traveller 2300 for some
reason.

Requesting help my friends:

My campaign idea is the following:

Players will be created as 100/ +100 dis's from a Star/Traveller Hero.
The PCs will not have access to FTL/Jump drives but rather will have
embarked on a Cryo Sleeper explorer to a nearby solar system. While
in flight they were awakened as the ship suffered some damage, AND
that meant that the trip was going to take alot longer to reach their
destination system than was planned. It was decided to continue on
to their destination system instead of heading back home. Now while
their long sleep happened mankind discovered "Fold Engines" and
that made travel between solar systems extremely fast. So by the
time the PC's reach their destination system, mankind has already
bin there for years and set up a colony in the system BUT PAH had
happened and so starts the campaign.

The following pages show and list all stars within 20LY and 50LY of Sol:

http://www.atlasoftheuniverse.com/20lys.html
http://www.atlasoftheuniverse.com/nearstar.html
http://www.atlasoftheuniverse.com/50lys.html

Use these rather than the 2300AD Near Star List if you want accuracy, as the 2300AD list is pretty outdated.

In fact, I recommend browsing the whole site (http://www.atlasoftheuniverse.com) when you have time... the different views from solar system to galaxy to universe are truly awesome as well as very handy for interstellar sci-fi games.

Root around in Nyrath's website. He's got Just About Everything in terms of star maps.

EDIT: from his user data page, it's http://www.projectrho.com/starmap.html

For game purposes, the "node" maps are probably more useful, e.g., HabHYG20lyNode.
