Description --THIS MAP WAS MADE LONG BEFORE ME3 SO PLEASE DONT LEAVE ME COMMENTS ABOUT HOW WRONG IT IS--

This is my Mass Effect Galaxy Map 2.5
Not 3.0, because this is a WIP and would like input about the general location of the political/regional borders I have placed.

Color Code:
Blue = Citadel Space. These are systems that are loyal to the Council in some capacity.
Red = Terminus Systems. These are systems unaffiliated with the Council.
Green = Attican Traverse. These are systems claimed by both the Citadel and Terminus.
Yellow = Skyllian Verge. A region of space bordering space claimed by the Systems Alliance and the Batarians.
Brown = Batarian Space
Purple = Geth Space
Pink = Collector Space

Not pictured are the Nemean Abyss and the Systems Alliance.
I cannot show the Nemean Abyss, as it has not been shown where it is, and as the Systems Alliance is allied with/part of the Council, I have decided not to indicate them as separate. In my final version of the map, I may include a general outline of the Alliance, but its not a priority.

-----

Note:
This is a fan work and in no way should be considered canon.
It is even in the artists opinion that most likely in-universe, large scale political boundaries do not exist. Due to the use of relays political alignments would be extremely messy, almost like a massive version of the internal borders of the Holy Roman Empire, with systems all mixed around.

I patiently wait for the update. (Trying to make an ME map for [[link] this game and need an ME3 relay map that doesn't exist right now)

Yeah, sorry about not updating yet.
There are lots of invisible systems currently in ME3, and Im not comfortable making a map just yet until I know for sure what these systems are.

The map is truly outstanding, I love it. If I can make a request I'd like to have the color-codes on the map. Maybe for 3.0? Anyway, great work, keep it up.

Ill take your request into consideration tho.

The Galaxy At War system in Mass Effect 3 gives us a galaxy map.

LOL, human space is literally the same size as the Council... arrogant much?

There is a map in the main menu for the multiplayer demo for Mass Effect 3, Council Space and System Alliance space are seen as separate.

Humanity claims a much larger area than most have expected.

Can you please provide some sources behind while you choose certain locations for different terms like Attican Traverse and Skyllian Verge. The Mass Effect Wiki is looking for a good Galaxy Map containing all the locations from both games, and this one (if accurate) would be perfect.

DWebArt In reply to Arkkeeper [2012-01-20 22:26:06 +0000 UTC]

I personally would use one of my earlier maps, not this one.

All the locations are based on lists on the ME wiki

Arkkeeper In reply to DWebArt [2012-02-25 21:58:05 +0000 UTC]

I meant was why did you choose to place those official names in those areas that you choose to put them. of course my analysis is moot now, since the Multiplayer Beta has an official map on it.

Nice work. I hope you make an updated version for ME3 when it's out.

I really like this map it does a good job clarifying the fairly bizarre mass effect borders. Only question I have is how do you know where Batarian Space is exactly on the map?

DWebArt In reply to JackDaRipperT [2011-09-14 17:50:38 +0000 UTC]

I dont
I just put it in where I suspect it is located.

I think you've done an excellent job. I am almost in complete agreement with the way you've marked it. I especially like the Skyllian Verge sector.
My only question (since it's a WIP) is shouldn't Exodus Cluster be in blue space, or at least on the verge of blue and green, since it is technically only on the borders of Terminus systems?

I've always thought that the relations between species in Mass Effect sort of represented an allegory for real world politics. Humans would be North American, Turians would represent ex-Soviets, Quarians and Geth would be like Palestine and Israel.

I cant say I agree with that.

DWebArt In reply to CoronaRadiata [2011-05-09 04:25:25 +0000 UTC]

I just dont see it that way at all.

Plus I prefer to take science fiction as what it is, its own story and universe, not an allegory to real world events. Puts too much of a political spin on it, especially with subjects that arent very clear cut.

I just love shooting them.

They just never learn, facing Shepperd only means their death. If you are not going to be on my Team, you will be in a body bag.
