Now that my website is settled in its new home, I can finally start a new 2300AD project here. This time I’ll be moving on from the 2300AD Realistic Star Maps and going back to the original<\/i> Near Star List!<\/p>\n

\"Kafer<\/a>
Kafer Space (from the Kafer Sourcebook).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The first thing to do is to make the data available. I’ve transferred the original NSL (oNSL<\/b>) table from 2300AD into digital form and<\/i> incorporated the extra data for Kafer Space from the GDW Kafer Sourcebook – and as an added bonus I’ve also thrown in the Backdoor system from Operation Backdoor<\/a> that allowed the humans to contact the Ylii (Operation Backdoor may or may not be official canon, but I’m throwing it in anyway) :). This represents all the xyz data for the stars that was originally provided by GDW.<\/p>\n

The xyz data is presented here as they were in the Near Star Lists – I haven’t rotated or recalculated anything, I’ve just transcribed them (though I have reordered some of the stars in the list to be consecutive to their companions for clarity). The list itself is in a CSV format that can be imported into Astrosynthesis, and the canonical arms are also provided in that format – the Backdoor route is also there. Keep in mind that this is not consistent with the Realistic Near Star Map that I’ve produced on this website (IIRC the coordinates may be flipped on the realistic map too) – but it’s all internally consistent at least. <\/p>\n

The oNSL stars are listed with a Catalogue Number (Cat_no) between #230001 and #230749, the Kafer Sourcebook stars are #230750 to #230787, and the Backdoor brown dwarf system is #230788. So if you only want to use the oNSL stars you can ignore or remove the stars from 230750 and up (or just use the 2300AD_original_oNSL.csv in the zipfile below). <\/p>\n

While there are some real stars in Kafer space in the oNSL (e.g. Gamma and Lambda Serpentis), the Kafer stars and the Backdoor system listed between #230750-#230788 are entirely fictional<\/i>. Almost all of these fictional stars are within 7.7 ly of other stars (as shown in the screencap above), which means that there are no “dead ends” in Kafer Space – this is quite unlike the distribution of real stars in the oNSL (I would imagine that this was a design oversight when the new stars were being added – realistically I think the stars should be more spread out, with more being inaccessible). <\/p>\n

You can download the CSV data from the link below. As usual, please don’t redistribute these files yourself – just link back to this page if you want to spread the word! The zipfile contains the following:
\n– 2300AD_original_Kafer+oNSL.csv<\/b> (the full oNSL+Kafer Sourcebook xyz, cat_no, name and startype data table),
\n– 2300AD_original_oNSL.csv<\/b> (just the oNSL data),
\n– The French, American, and Chinese Arms in a csv format that can be imported into Astrosynthesis,
\n– the original_2300AD_NSL+Kafer.AstroDB<\/b> file that can be opened in Astrosynthesis.<\/p>\n

Next time, we’ll start exploring some of the lesser known side branches of the original 2300AD near star map! <\/p>\n
