Universal Cartographics
Universal Cartographics are a corporation focussed on mapping the universe. Due to the limitations of the Frame Shift Drive, their efforts are currently constrained to the Milky Way Galaxy.
The Galaxy Map, System Map, and Planetary Map use Universal Cartographics data. Exploration data on systems that contain a full-size orbital Starport is freely available to everyone, while for other systems you might have to pay Universal Cartographics a small amount of credits for the data or explore it yourself.
Explorers can collect exploration data with Discovery Scanners and Detailed Surface Scanners and sell it to Universal Cartographics via the starport services interface.
