My fan-made, unofficial map of Fluff Kevlar's Rishan Galaxy. I couldn't find a map of its sovereigns/systems anywhere so I made one myself. The background map was made by Fluff Kevlar, but only includes the galaxy's shape, and its arms/sectors layout and names.
Legend:
5-Point star - Galactic Capital.
4 Point star - Sovereign Capital.
3 Point star - Notable system, star, planet, or asteroid field.
Circular shape - Notable Nebula.
This map includes pretty much every sovereign and star system that is mentioned within Fluff Kevlar's (FK's) Sci Fi lore, with most of my sources being from Ask ARA, FK's Cyberink Wikidot page, and his general backlog. The main outlier is the sovereign Arcasha, which is for my own world building project within FK's lore.
Very little information is given about most sovereigns. Some of them are only ever mentioned a scarce few times, and for a few, the only information on them was their name, and name only. Katric, Siania, and Liertz are the most documented. For the placement of the sovereigns, Katric a was the only one I had a rough idea of how its borders were laid out, based off of an old Ask ARA page from late 2014. Liertz I knew to be within The Gate Sector, but it's border layout is unknown. The placement of everything else was either an educated guess, or a literal guess based on what little information I could find.
Almost all of the planet names were made up by me, but the systems that FK have named are listed as follows: Hevelia, Meier, Kyo, The Tower, Terlesh, Viscou, Kes'Toye, Harkshire, T'sig Halt, Frothus, and Vort-Am-Kelt. I tried as best I could to come up with system names that fit the sovereigns they were home to, based on the sovereign's language. For example: Sianian incorporates extensive use of the letter "S", combined with the more middle-eastern desert theme behind Siania's culture, so most of the system names were made to be in line with that. Liertzesh is based off of German, as FK mentions it throughout a lot of his works, and Katric can be reasonably assumed to be based off of Russian, due to the character Vikna, and Katric's starship names. No other sovereign languages have any information on them, to the best of my knowledge. For my own personal world building project, Arcashan and Vandalese are incredibly similar languages, and as such, share similar names.
Closing thoughts: Fluff Kevlar is my all-time favourite furry artist, and is the main reason I remained in the fandom for nearly 6 years now. I absolutely adore his creative world-building that goes back literal decades, I just can't get enough of it. Making this map took me months of on and off work, with mostly small additions here and there. This was really more of a passion project I guess you could say, I was just making this for myself really.
