Short-form: Nothing official.

Long-form: Nothing official, but a few of them are real star systems, so pull yourself up a map of local space from an astronomy website and start sticking pushpins in the map until you get something that feels right.

The map that I have collated to date, and I advise using it as a reference, or starting point, is viewable here:
http://www.macrossroleplay.org/Sketchle ... ticmap.gif

(It's big!) Please don't use this actual map in your page, but feel free to use the information contained within it.

The sectors are completely arbitrary, and are only truly relevant to my, and MasumiX's games. Further information on the logic of the layout, and the placement of it is detailed here: http://www.macrossroleplay.org/Sketchle ... ations.htm (be warned that it is a mess and needs a serious renovation.)


The only 'Macross truth' is that of the border of Sector 2 and the sectors beyond - it's about 100 lightyears from Earth, and that border is a specific figure mentioned in the Macross Compendium for the immediate post-SWI years.

Eden's distance from Earth is accurate, though it's placement is not. And as always, it's a 2D map, and space is 3D. Zeta Reticuli is a real star system, and the location of the fictional LV-426 aka the planet in 'Alien' and 'Aliens'. It's distance from Earth is accurate. And yes, Sector M183-92 is the location of the M15 fleet. It is 'way beyond' the edge of the map.

It really depends on your GM, and which Macross roleplaying site your game is occuring on. Let's just leave it up to your GM(s) to fill you in on the fate of the fleet.
