Description
THIS MAP AND MOST INFORMATION BELOW ARE NOW OUTDATED! NEW VERSION HERE: worldbuildersinc.deviantart.co…A kint (kt) is a unit of distance equal to five light years. The Milky Way is about 20,000 kints across. Average speed for a starship is about 120 ktph, or 600 light years per hour. It takes slightly less than a week to cross the whole galaxy.
Quadrants (starting from 0):
J’khagh Quadrant
Quoramus Quadrant
Kra’naak Quadrant
Thyor Quadrant
Sectors (starting from 0):
Fornax Sector
J’khagh Sector
Dura Sector
Olanais Sector
Terotewaukia Sector
Quoramus Sector
Azzeras Sector
Yuzza Sector
Kinnad (Populous) Sector
Zarkor Sector
Kra’naak Sector
Ryaru Sector
Iol Sector
Thyor Sector
Krion Sector
Rygyl Sector
Contrary to the name, the Anomaly Sector is not an entire sector of the galaxy. It is actually an irregular patch of space that is restricted and generally avoided. The Anomaly Sector spans the outer edge of two whole sectors (one whole, and one half on either side).
Galactic coordinates are written as such: (c,d); where c is the distance around the circular plane of the galaxy (sectors) from 0, and d is the distance outward from the core (rings).

I have a map of my own milky way galaxy on my Scinlao account 
I believe the average ships in my universe can travel faster than that, but the hyperadvanced Universal Alliance Influence(Which includes humans) have starships that can travel to Andromeda in .03 seconds, and across the entire visible universe in two years. Takes quite a bit of energy x) But it all takes place in our lifetime. It's a long story haha
May I recommend, if you don't have a better application, Google Drive? Google Drawings allows for very large files, and high detail. I love it

I saw that, actually. Seems like a small empire. 
Holy gornock! 0.03 sec to Andromeda?! That's frippin' FAST! 
My main story set here also takes place in our lifetimes, around 2045 AD. Earth is a new minor polity in the major leagues of the Galactic Democratic Federation.
Google Drive? Never heard of it, actually. What are you suggesting it for?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, the Alliance is made up of over thirty small civilizations(Four in Andromeda), and very few of them are close to each other 
Indeed! I know most people might say I'm just trying to make my universe the "best", but I have reasons x) The story sometimes goes into other universes, so they have to be that advanced technologically.
They use a device called a QIN drive(Quantum Infinity), which collapse space-time in a vortex around the ship, making a lightyear about 2 inches in length(In the really powerful ships that is, like the flagship). Then they can use super-fast propulsion to travel millions of lightyears with ease.
Ah, that's cool! See, mine is more similar to Star Trek, where Earth is pivotal and important to the forming and protection of the Alliance.
It's good for photomanipulations. You can use other apps to manipulate the photos, and create colors, and then google drawings allows you to put them all together, and export it as a REALLY big file. I only mention it because this image is so small haha

Ha ha, as it appears propulsion technology is better in this galaxy than the Milky Way from my universe.
On 3030AD the fastest starship is WT4.5, or 4.5 metric warp years pers year (or 450 lightyears per year).

Man, that's like turtle speed for my galaxy! 
My galaxy has different forms of FTL travel (warp speed; hyperspace travel, even the newest form which I will not go into lengthy explanations on), but the general standard is a Vigal "Hop-drive" that allows the ship to 'hop' a ripple in space and time and ride the ripple to its destination.

Hmm. Over here they use jump gates for that ^^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Externally formed, separate from the ship? Or projected?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
As in an actual gate built in space.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
External, then. Pshh that's so 2894 BGU

Well, scientists from the EUSN, BHSA and the Garaag would rather avoid making something that could bend local space totally out of shape should something go wrong.
That said, the advanced Magar race have phase-warp technology, which comes closest to what you have and makes them travel tavel at an equivilant if WT12.1 (or 1210 times the speed of light. I say equivilant because they don't travel through normal space)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ahh, but the bends are already there! Left over from the Big Bang! 
If not normal space, then what...?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Sure! I love sci-fi science

Ok!
Basically, it uses the universal yin-yang principle to create a hole in the fabric of space-time. By firing a beam of light energy and a beam of dark energy together in a specific way, a rift opens where the two beams meet. The ship can move through the rift and cross the continuum to a twin rift on the other side, which opens out to its programmed destination. The rift auto-heals behind the ship, leaving no harm in the continuum.
This allows for near instantaneous travel between any two points in the universe! The technology is still only in its infancy, and the rift projection array is still so big it can only fit on megacruisers and superfreighters. Except for a smaller experimental version, which the Phantom has now (thanks to the crew's discovery of a long-lost treasure).

Hmm, sounds kinda like the Dark matter/Light matter fusion drive from the Ancients in my universe.
They never developed it far enough that a ship-mountable instant travel drive got made; the Ancients were basically gods and mad for more power than they already had, so developing it further wasn't on their top priority list (instead fighting themselves to extinction was).

I like this. It seems like a well thought up map.
Also 600 light years per hour, that's impressive! Seems like your galactic civilisation is very highly advanced if they're able to travel that fast.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah I explain a lot more in my various literature pieces. It involves a lot of trigonometry though, and you know how much everybody loves trig... 
They are pretty advanced; some races even have the knowledge of molecular manipulation!
There is also a new form of FTL travel that involves crossing the raw, untempered continuum to get to any point desired in a matter of seconds. It allows what many thought impossible: near-instantaneous travel across unimaginably vast distances.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hehe well Trig was relatively easy... so I'm fine with a bit of math in my stories.
Molecular manipulation, that sounds neat! Well being able to control atoms (and perhaps being able to harness the energy holding multiple atoms together?) and such can yield to amazing results. I'm also quite sure that some of your races are adept at genetic engineering when it comes down to it. Hyperspace travel... highly useful for quick space travel. I can't wait for the day when we unlock the secrets of doing that.
Hum so akin to stable worm holes if I understood correctly. Those are a key element in my own story's civilisation. Yet another highly useful form of transportation since you can reach emergency situations fast.

I like applying real and theoretical science and a bit of math to my stories.
They call it molecular "meddling". XD messing with the properties of molecules and yes, the energy bonding the atoms. That's how Arcto's four swords work; why they're so lethal. They split your very atoms.
Atomic manipulation is what allowed for a highly advanced artificial gravity system (co-invented by Terrans and Myrmikoids).
Gen-en is still a tentative subject in the galaxy. The Aehr (the oldest race in the galaxy) actually left the GDF because some special interest groups wanted their help in bioengineering a living weapon "for the protection of the galaxy". Even cloning has tight restrictions; and the cloning of sentient beings is absolutely prohibited and, frankly, frowned upon by society in general.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's good that you do... I rather enjoy science fiction with actual science in it. Something which is lacking in some so called "sci-fi" works (Doctor Who).
Ah awesome! The energy bonding the atoms is remarkable so it's cool that your guys know how to use. "Splitting your very atoms", yes definitely something lethal. Having the power to essentially break atoms apart is powerful. Hopefully the huge amount of energy released from those atoms are contained somehow? I can see how that may work. Yesterday I watched something that gravity is essentially when atoms move slower beside a large object than the atoms found in outer space. Hence if atoms can be artificially manipulated to move slower in a spaceship then that solves a lot of things. Like wise the opposite can be done to create anti gravity (flying cars, yaaay).
Bioengineering a living weapon... well I can see why they left then. Personally I would not want to be a weapon, heh. I think that mechanical weaponry is enough. I'm not surprised that cloning sentient beings is something that's frowned upon. It doesn't seem like a good idea to have two of the same sentient beings. Though there is the other side of the stick, genetic engineering can help regrow a lost limb for instance. It may also help cure cancer as it's some sort of "error" in the cells themselves, if I remember correctly.

Flying cars are a different matter altogether. They use a form of charged-ion-based levitation that relies on nanoscopic ion turbofans to create a controlled repulsorfield. This tech, once mass-produced, drastically reduced the number of deaths from vehicle crashes! This is one piece of advanced tech that is nearly impossible to use in a malevolent manner XD
Bioengineering and cybernetic technology is used, but mainly for medical purposes and almost always only on city planets. It's tightly regulated by the government's Department of Technology Regulation and Management (DTRM).
It's like with Dyson spheres; they exist in the galaxy but there are tight regulations concerning the planning, location, construction, and use of the spheres.
"With advanced technology comes advanced responsibility" is the motto of the DTRM.

That's an interesting theory concerning flying cars. Well that's good that it reduced vehicle crashes then. For some reason air born transportation has a tendency to be "safer" somehow. Good it's not used in any bad ways.
Good thing it's used mainly for medical purposes... using it for anything else would quickly lead to disaster. Best it be regulated then. Though if I had a choice I'd rather a genetically engineered anything. I'm just more open to that field of science than cybernetics. Funny coming from someone who loves technology.

It's not that nobody uses it in malicious ways, but there is just no way that a soft, cushiony technology can be used to hurt people! XD
There are many dangerous technologies in the galaxy, like dark-light matter nuclear fusion (100000 times more powerful than regular nuclear fusion) and hardlight weapons. Most is tightly regulated, but hardlight weapons are very commonplace.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hehe true.
Ah yes, when matter and anti-matter (or dark-light matter as you called it) are combined you get a nuclear fusion that's far more powerful than any we're capable of today. And to think that only one anti-matter atom is sufficient to cause destruction, heh. I'm not surprised that some people managed to get those weapons (a version of light sabers of I understood correctly). Even in today's society some people will go get something illegal in black market regardless of the regulations.

Antimatter atomic bombs are how RyngStar was destroyed... 8• oh no, spoilers! XD
Not lightsabers, mi amigo. (That's copyright anyways XD) hate to use this term but: "laser guns". X( not technically laser, but it is a form of concentrated light that is slowed by Azzeran energy crystals. Highly lethal.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well now I know yet another fact about your universe. >:3
Ah well that makes sense, yes I can imagine that it would be quite lethal. ^^
