Project Payback - Map Thread

The official ‘Section Chart’ of Project Payback’s setting, managed by me, myself, and I

Unfinished Megastructures

Dyson Swarm
“A small planet’s worth of material has been made ready to be turned into orbital mirrors and solar panels.”

Gate-Forge
“When finished, this large space station is used to create new Sprox-Gates.”

O’Neil Cylinder
“A cylinder shaped skeleton awaiting new material.”

Terraforming Project
“This celestial object has had the first steps to life started artificially but lacks a certain material…”

Space Elevator
“With a counterweight and surface station already in place, one would just need to figure out how to attach a cable to link the two…”


In order to form a nation, a nation MUST

– Have a name
– Have all gravity wells named, alongside a designated capital.
– Have a two way gate lane, or two one way gate lanes that connects to the rest of the chart

Claims can have

– Up to ten gravity wells (Solar Systems, Non-System Objects, etc.)
– Up to eight habitable planets
– Two unfinished megastructures

A system can have

– Up to two stars
– Up to five sprox-gate connections
– Up to three habitable planets (as long as they are within plot limits)
– Up to two unfinished megastructures (as long as they are within plot limits)

Moderator’s Note

Roleplayers must be able to provide information upon request. This information can be anything, from how many guns a ship has to the population of a system. The moderator of the canon reserves the right to retcon or change parts or all of your plot if she deems it necessary to ensure balance, fun, or if you’re being a massive a**hole. You can appeal a moderator action by posting in the thread with your reasoning.

Currently processing your request, do you want your internal lanes to be secured or not? I see your outer lanes are, but your internal lanes aren’t; I’m staying until I hear from you

All lanes are as they should be, iirc you explained the difference as secured are, well, secured by defences, whereas unsecured might have a fare

updated Sectional Chart

  • added about twenty-one star systems and their sprox connections
    – most of these systems do not have names, those will be filled throughout the week
  • removed sectional chart legend, put it on the right hand side
  • added regions

next update will be polishing, the next major update will be national level scale slides and maybe system maps, not sure if I want to but solid maybe

Sectional Chart Minor Update

  • adding statistics page
  • added three different sectional chart variants (full, systems and lanes, systems)
  • removed celestial background
    in my eyes, this is just to make the one way lanes stick out more

Fun Fact - There are 115 systems in project payback across 50 light years
