Took a peek at it. I based my
VRML representation (hopefully the URL works now) off the Hyperspace Route Map presented in The Babylon Project, the role-playing game based on the B5 universe. It has this map of routes (circa 2250) showing the Earth Alliance and nearby alien space in the sourcebook. As I understand it, they has to run it by JMS (and Warner Brothers) before they could release it. Now whether it's completely canon....,well that's another discussion entirely, given the general muck-up of stuff from the show, the novelizations, the other books, and the RPG.
One thing that I've noticed in the Map was that colony names and actual catalog names don't match up totally. For example, the Alliance's "Vega" colony is actually Ross 248. The Minbari Federation owns the
real Vega, and named the colony Sh'lekk'tha. In other words, the "common" names aren't necessarily the same as the "catalog" names.
