Part 2: Lyanna and her crew escaped Thera, with the Federation battlecruiser close on their heels. Now they find themselves cornered on Thera's moon, with no intention to surrender.

I am wondering if you actually drew the character pictures yourself since they are all the same style. If so, nice job, I'm not a good enough artist to draw that well so I 'borrow' my pics off the internet.

Keep up the storyline maps. You'll get alot of thumbs-down but you won't regret it years later when you're searching your old hard-drive and come across them again. Others may or may not get enjoyment from your art, but you always will.

No, I'm more of technical person, with maybe a slight artistic bent, so  I had to "borrow" them myself too.

Thanks for the words of encouragement. After seeing so many good maps (by the way, I'm really enjoying the "Dagon" campaign :) ) getting loads of negative votes, I thought I woudn't take it personally, and yet I can't help but feel a little sting in my heart with every down vote ;) So I appreciate your comment.

It's strange to see a map as detailed as this one (unique scenery, characters, explicitly-chosen terrain that took time to place), but most of it doesn't matter because the only tool at our disposal is shields.  It's a dig race.  I haven't seen a map like that yet.

Upvoted for uniqueness.  I played this one twice, getting a decent score the 2nd time.
