Screenshots of Piper's Federation

            Here are some screenshots (from ChView) of Piper's Federation as mapped out in a posting by William Taylor on the Piper Mailing List on 2/26/2001. 

Shot 1 is of the Federation as a group.  At the top right you can see Curtana and Morglay (of the Sword Worlds) just off the map.  Terra is in the box in the middle of the shot.

Shot 2 is of the worlds around Terra.  Terra-Baldur-Marduk are boxed.

Shot three's perspective is from the opposite side of the Federation from the Sword Worlds, looking through the Federation at the SW, with the 4 SW that are mapped being boxed.  The local group around Terra are in the upper left corner of the screen.

Shot four shows another feature of ChView.  You can tell it to map the paths that are below certain lengths.  In this view, White is for 0-100 ly, Lt Blue is for 100.1 to 150 ly and Green is for up to 200 ly.  You can also set the radius  of view and choose what star to center on.  This shot is worlds within 400 ly of Poictesme.

Shot five shows the same layout, but now centered on Hoder, and from a slightly different angle.
