During the heyday of the Kerberos forums, the original Sword of the Stars was discussed in great detail. Within the modding community were a few members that would create map shapes based off of other member requests. This file represents all of the maps found on the forums that were requested and produced. Most of these maps have had their node lines manually connected for human players, though some of the larger maps may not have everything connected.
