I always found it hard to find specific locations on the Alien RPG map so I went over the map and wrote down every single location along with coordinates and page they are on in the book.

Thank you... I appreciate the effort!

Neato! For the ones that weren't given page numbers in the book, how'd you determine the coordinates/locations?

I ask in part because I'd like to further fill out my "GM Star Map" version where I circled/noted locations I could find in the RPG books and which I could find on the AvP wiki, and I'd like to expand on them if I can. Thanks!

I used the grids on the map. Each grid is just 1. You start from Sol (which is 0, 0) and move according to the coordinate address. For example, LV-426 is 1.5, -11.5. So that means you go over right by 1.5 squares and down 11.5 squares.

Sorry, I should clarify my question with examples:

An example of a location given in the RPG book:
17 Phei Phei (Znoy Outpost): -1, -4. Union Of Progressive Peoples. Pg 258.

An example presumably NOT provided in the RPG book:
Mu Cassiopeiae: -4, 5. Union Of Progressive Peoples.

How did you determine that the above, for example, was at -4, 5. I get what the numbers mean, but I don't get how you figured out said location was there. Moreover, I'm not even sure I know of some of these locations at least from the AvP wiki. What are your sources? Or are they created by you?

Okay that is a mistake. Mu Cassiopeiae is -4, 6 not -4, 5.

I got my locations by going over every inch of the large map provided by the Alien RPG kit.

I make mention of some locations not seen on the map, but I don't have coordinates for them.

Ah, I guess there's more information on the map that came with the kit than when's in the core book then, or I'm REALLY bad at noticing the info available, because I tried to mark every spot on the map in the book that was mentioned in the RPG materials (red) or that I could find on the AvP wiki with some very select exceptions (green) and your list still seems to contain a crapload more that I didn't account for.

The list you made is amazing and I'd like to further fill out the map I have, though I've been omitting entries that just have a name, or have a name in the wiki for example but no 'official' coordinates. That's why I've been bugging about this.

Ah, there's your problem. The rulebook map has way less details than the full sized map.

Argh, looks like I got to get me a copy of that map then. D: Or at least cross-reference what you wrote up...

I just realized that the rulebook map doesn't even have planet 4 or Origae-6 on it. Geez...
