For a campaign I'm starting to work on (and hopefully will continue to work on) I needed a bit of a modified node map to make things work right. It was too difficult to take an existing node map to make these changes, so I tried making my own. I think it turned out fairly well. Still needs some adjustments to make it look completely presentable. Also, I may redo a few of the node paths, depending on what I'd like and need.

The Subspace War between Terrans and Vasudans awoke the Shivans, a weapon of an ancient civilization. When the two races formed an alliance to fight against the Shivans, they stopped their invasion. The Shivans said that if either race was found using Subspace based weapons again for their wars, they'd annihilate both races once and for all. 30 years have passed since then, and tensions arise between the Terran Coalition and the Vasudan Empire. Many speak of a war on the horizon, but the Terran Coalition also has to worry about the seperatist Cygnis Alliance, which threatens to cause even more strife between the Vasudan and Terran races.
So, what do you think of the map itself? I know it lacks a background, but I think the stars came out well. Used a lens flare in Photoshop to make them.
