Size/structure of the human territory
Among (many) other things, I'm currently trying to work out the "size" of the galaxy. I've slapped a number of screens from the Spiral Labyrinth OVAs together to make this:
As you can see, the exact location of the Thanatos Starzone is not explicity shown, but from the shape of the corridors indicated and the location of the 'camera' when the map scene changed, I've indicated where it SEEMS to be located. The scale is probably a bit big.
Anyway, the distance between Heinessen and Thanatos is stated at being 480 light years. We'll assume this is the most direct distance to measure, not the distance ships would have to travel to get there. If that's true, we can estimate the longest length of the Alliance territory to be about 500LY.
Furthermore, additional maps indicate Odin and Heinessen are roughly equidistant from the Iserlohn Corridor, and roughly equal in size. Meaning that it's 500LY from Heinessen to Tiamat, and roughly another 500LY from Tiamat to Odin.
Arle Heinessen's Exodus is often described as a journey of 10,000 light years.
What all of this means is that, if we view the galactic plain, we have both the FPA and Empire occuping mostly circular territories with diamters of 500LY. I would be liberal and say that the overall amount of colonized space would be roughly equal to a 12,000LY diameter circle.
If the galaxy is true to current estimates (total-size wise) that means that humans have settled/explored between 5% and 10% of the galaxy. This fits in with the stated border between the two nations being the "rift" between the Orion and Sagittarius arms, which may old various implication for other logh concepts, like warp.Canary 08:25, 12 May 2011 (UTC)
