What this Star Atlas is

This is an interactive, explore-only star atlas for the hard SF series Star Map Draftsman by Mango Taoist. It maps Orion Arm / Orion Spur worlds, Star Bridges, and federation pressure from the books. It is a reading companion — not a game client, not a stats board, and not a login wall.

Full spoilers for Books I and II. Markers and blurbs assume you may have finished Federation War and Fate of the Galaxy. If you want the story cold, read the novels first.

How it ties to the books

Book I opens with Earth engineer Dawn Lucius and a Kuiper Belt mission to an alien ship. Book II continues when dark matter, which gathers around a Draftsman, begins to vanish. The atlas places those locations on a single Spur map so readers can see geography after (or between) chapters.
