By 2011, it became obvious that the expanded nature of Futility's End had moved the affiliate well beyond Earth and its nearby solar systems. Until this time, the stories and history of FE were here in the Infobase as they are today, but it sometimes took a lot of digging to find most of that history. Various projects to file the infobase under categories helped significantly, but for a new player, it could still be confusing. For years, there had been no large scale mapping done that was made for public viewing. Many simm CO's had made small maps to keep themselves "on-track" so to speak, but there was just so much information written about Futility's End that it needed a large dynamic map to better inform newer players and even current ones of the status of the Federation and the Universe.
As such, a project was started to bring this universe to life in a two-dimensional form that was easy to read. It was hoped that it could inspire new stories to be told while showing off ten years worth of effort of all the fine simmers that have spent time here creating this wonderful universe. The resulting map is a collection of the material directly written by the players of Futility's End, translated into one image to tie it all together. It continues to evolve and integrate more of FE's vast collection of data into itself.
