THE MITRAX GALAXY
RECONSTRUCTING/DESIGNING THE MITRAX MAP
In order to write Scenarios for the Mitrax Galaxy, it is essential to have a working map. This identifies which empires border which other empires and which empires are so far away they have no contact. A working map is also critical to constructing a proper Timeline for the Mitrax Galaxy.
The issue is that Francois Angers’ map was in constant flux. What started as the Mitrax Galaxy eventually morphed into the Triangulum Galaxy. I have at least six different maps, each one containing substantial changes from the others. Sorting through them all has not been easy.
It should be mentioned as well that Francois used his Mitrix Galaxy Maps to create the Triangulum Maps simply by shuffling around various empires and renaming them. Since I am interested in the original Mitrax Source Maps, I am more focused on them rather than the later derivative Triangulum Maps.
Note also that all of this is subject to change. The Mitrax Map is a living document that is in constant evolution.
So what do we know for sure? Based on the documents, what have I decided for my working Mitrax Map?
The following is as of M114 on the Mitrax Timeline. It marks the beginning of the First Great Expansion War. The Mitrax Map will look different prior to M114 and after M123.
1) There is a large, vertical region of space in the center of the Mitrax Map called the Khartax Free Zone or KFZ for short.
2) On the west side of the Khartax Free Zone is the Mallaran Empire. They have a huge section of space on the Mitrax Map.
3) On the east side of the Khartax Free Zone is the Worlds of Union. They have a huge section of space on the Mitrax Map.
4) Both the Mallaran Empire and the Worlds of Union have invaded the Khartax Free Zone. In fact, there have been numerous Wars fought over the Khartax Free Zone.
5) Within the Khartax Free Zone, there is a minor empire called the Corsairs of the KFZ.
6) On the northwest border of the Khartax Free Zone lies the Order of Ultimate Truth.
7) On the northeast border of the Khartax Free Zone is the Edurian Theocracy.
8) On the south side of the Khartax Free Zone is the Helgardian Protectorate. The Helgardian Protectorate also borders the Mallaran Empire and the Worlds of Unions.
9) The Human Cooperative (along with other empires) borders the Mallaran Empire on its west side. Directly to the north of the Human Cooperative is the Demony Alliance. The Demony Alliance launched a major invasion into the Human Cooperative.
This is a good start for the Mitrax Map. It establishes the location of several Major Powers and their neighbors. There is much more to the Mitrax Map, obviously, and many more empires.
Some of the Triangulum Empires, which have unique properties, will be reverse engineered and placed onto the Mitrax Map in new locations. However, Triangulum Empires which are simply copies of Mitrax Empires with new names but using the same technology, will not be used.
