This starmap of the Denubian Galaxy is part series fact and partially the contributions of Shannon Muir, Mea, and other fans. The galaxy itself didn't really begin to get mapped out until the second year of shows, when each planet we were introduced to was in one of the four quadrants of the galaxy. Bear in mind that no "definitive" map of the Galaxy exists.

Any planet with a after it are planets that I have somewhat arbitrarily placed in the Galaxy, based on facts in the series. For example, the planet Norn HAS to be in the same galaxy (not to mention the same star system!) as Arus because both planets experience the same eclipse. Or planets have been placed in areas to round a star system out.

(Note: Planets with a did NOT appear in the series, but instead appear in related fanfic - Mea)

Each quadrant has three star systems in it, which is an arbitrary decision. Shannon Muir originally named all the star systems. The choice for jewel names for the systems came out of an error in the second episode of the Lions series, where Coran says Arus was the most beautiful planet in the DIAMOND Galaxy. She put Arus in the Diamond Star System (to make his statement half accurate) and then named all the other systems in like.

Someone asked recently about Phylos comet, which is the half-planet/half-comet where Count Zane is from. We know it passes Arus and Doom, has the elliptical orbit of a comet, and is the most beautiful planet in the Coral Quadrant (though Arus is CLEARLY in the Azure!). With this information in mind, Arus MUST be at the southeast corner of the Azure quadrant, with edges of Phylos' elliptical orbit grazing the Coral quadrant... and since Doom clearly is not in the same star system as Arus, likely grazes another quadrant as well (which I've chosen as the Crimson Quadrant for Planet Doom).

The quadrants are laid out as follows:

Mapping known space is somehwat complicated AND difficult to illustrate. Hopefully, this helps. Remember, this starmap is completely UNOFFICIAL as it is only known to be partly accurate.

Several people have written Shannon as to why planet Balto (Pidge's home planet, destroyed in Season One) is not on the Starmap. she believes that since Coran tries to place them under house arrest, that Balto must technically be out of their jurisdiction... i.e. in the Near Universe, which is Vehicle Voltron's territory. We just don't buy Coran's "There's nothing you can do there. I can't let you go." at face value. I mean, Voltron is supposed to come to ANYONE's aid!

Also missing is planet Acura (from FLEET OF DOOM), which is right on the border of the Near and Far Universe, because it was never clear whose jurisidction it is. Due to the great distance emphasized for the Voltron Force to travel -- and the fact they have to use the Flying Fortress to get to Planet Acura instead of flying there themselves -- Acura is clearly NOT in the Denubian Galaxy.

Note from Mea: Shannon's starmap has been incorporated into Voltron continuity by WEP productions (Go Shannon!). To see a visual representation of the Denubian Galaxy as created by WEP, Click HERE
