The most accurate and recent map would be from Star Trek Stellar Cartography. It's obviously not canon because the only things that ARE canon are the TV shows and movies.

> a consequence of how close Earth forces got to Romulus

Nah, I think it's a consequence of Romulus being the capital, the seat of power for the empire. Where are you sourcing that the Starfleet got even close to Romulus? Of course, Starfleet wouldn't have carpet bombed Romulus, but they would have occupied it and de-armed it in order to win their hearts and minds (reference Earth's WWII, Dominion War).

> London is, however, on...

You missed my point about the capitals. My point was that the position of the homeworld isn't pertinent to their culture of aggression against the Federation, as much as their quest for lebensraum and ideology drives their strategy.

> Iran Contra...

Huh? Those conflicts are related, but not in the way I think you think they are.

> But during the expansion period...

The Cardassians did. They tried. Ask Miles O'Brien, Edward Jellico, and Ben Maxwell.

Also, I think you're ignoring this piece of canon: Starfleet Stellar Cartography. The set includes a chart on the Romulan War.

I bought the Star Trek Stellar Cartography book and posters set, and then at the Las Vegas con this year I got all 10 of the maps autographed by appropriate people. I think my favorite is the ancient Vulcan map that I got signed by Kirstie Alley, cause I've always loved Saavik and it was the first Star Trek convention she'd ever been to.

For the others I got the Cardassian map signed by Casey Biggs, the Klingon map signed by Michael Dorn, the Romulan map signed by Denise Crosby, the Alpha and Beta quadrant maps signed by LeVar Burton and Brent Spiner, the Dominion War map signed by Nicole DeBoer, the Romulan War map signed by Dominick Keating, and I can't remember the other 2 off the top of my head.

In the process now of finding good frames to hang them up.

The closest thing I've seen is a fold-out map in the 2002 book "Star Trek Star Charts". This is an image of that map.

There may be a better map in a more recent book (I see one called Star Trek Stellar Cartography: The Starfleet Reference Library that's from 2013), but the Star Charts book is the only one with a map that I'm aware of.

Good points. It gets more complicated when you introduce a third axis to territorial maps for sure, but generally speaking the galaxy is more flat.

In fact, maybe you could argue canonically the galaxy (at least in the Trek universe) is not 6000 light years thick, given the amount of onscreen evidence showing only 1 sector of thickness (another example)

I haven't seen the Star Trek Stellar Cartography book, but I wonder if it's sorted out any of these issues and/or has a similar layout to the 'standard' Trek map people are used to.

Star Trek Online also shares the flat layout, and the game has some level of "canon"?

Larry Nemecek (who also wrote the TNG Companion and for "Star Trek Fact Files") has created a collection of large high quality star maps from Star Trek:

Here is an unboxing:

There is this book which I have...somewhere. If I can find it later, I'll try to see what's in there. I also want to say there was at least a small one in the Okuda encyclopedia that came out in the '90s.

Also, I discovered this awesome-looking thing while searching for the above. Comes out Dec. 3rd.

You might be aware already, but the Shackleton Expanse and Starbase 364 Narendra Station are both non-canon and were added by Modiphius to create new gameplay settings. If your group wants to stick as closely to canon as possible, then you'll want the maps from this book: https://www.amazon.com/Star-Trek-Stellar-Cartography-Starfleet/dp/1477805974

It has an updated version of the map from Star Charts Alpha & Beta Quadrant map, which contains a few errors as it was released in the middle of Enterprise's run. Unfortunately, I don't think there's a scanned version online anywhere I can find.

They are part of the Stellar Cartography Set, highly recommend, there are 9 maps in total.
