[FT] Political Geography (using the Schoon advanced map technique )

The Kra'Vak are coreward of Sol (as far as home world all I will say is
Cat's Eye Nebula - hint hint). Sa'Vasku do not border human space (I've
said
too much) As far as Political Geography the major powers around 2180
only
have loose spheres of influence. Using the "Schoon advanced map
technique" a
flat map looks something like this.(2) = two colonies.
