Map Name: The Milky Way
Mapmaker(s): Boler
Number of Territories: 60
Special Features: One Way Attacks, Killer Neutrals, maybe auto deployment?
What Makes This Map Worthy of Being Made: The smallest scale map yet, and the fact that we live here.

Hello everyone! You might remember me from the last time I tried to make a map, also space themed, but on a smaller scale than this. (viewtopic.php?f=583&t=171261)
This is fairly accurate map of our home galaxy, the Milky Way (we live in that green army circle with a yellowish center directly below the center of the galaxy). Every one of the spiral arms is a bonus region, and in the center is a black hole (which resets to 1 neutral every turn).
The red arrows are one-ways that represent the gravity of the galaxy, as all the arrows move towards the center. Since this creates the problem that it would be very difficult to attack outwards from the center of the galaxy, I decided that maybe the black hole in the center could one-way attack all the habited planets, which are represented with yellow shading (this represents the teleportation or dimension warping properties some people say black holes might have, not very scientific, but it's fine for CC). Maybe the habited planets can have a +1 auto deploy.
I haven't worked on a legend because I wanted some input before I go further. Is this map a good idea? What should the legend look like? etc.
Bonus Regions are as follows, clockwise from the Sagittarius Arm:
Sagittarius Arm - Dark Brown - 10 Terits
Perseus Arm - Tan - 15 Terits
Far Outer Arm - Dark Blue - 5 Terits
Outer Arm - Blue - 5 Terits
Centaurus Arm - Yellowish - 12 Terits
There are also a few arms that are closer to the inside of the galaxy.
Orion Spur - Green - 3 Terits (Home)
Norma Arm - Light Blue - 5 Terits
Far 3KPC Arm - Indigo - 2 Terits
Near 3KPC Arm - Purple - 2 Terits
