Jupiter Trojans prior to the War of the Trojan Vespers

[Rubikia]

Hi all,

For the past year, I have been working on a sci-fi project called Lost Heavens, which among other things features an isolationist Manichaean theocracy occupying the moons of Jupiter. I have only ever finished and released maps relating to this, as it is a notable part, but I wanted to expand the setting a lot further.

The general idea of this setting is to give off the same sense of scale as you would in a galaxy-spanning space opera, but confine it to just our solar system. I think that the vastness of our solar system is greatly underapreciated in sci-fi, save for the Expanse, so I wanted to focus on that. While the Expanse is a big inspiration, I think that, for what I am going for, there are too few factions, too few inhabited places, and too few factions, so I wanted to have our solar system bustling with inhabited asteroids, space stations, and nations.

That brings me to this map I have been working on on and off since the start of March, depicting the Greek Camp of the Jupiter Trojans. I took data from the Small-Body Database and drew it on Inkscape, and I plan on also adding allegiances/investments from companies and countries, since this is currently at the first stage. This map is of the Greek Camp before the 'War of the Trojan Vespers', which was a war waged by the Trojans against the Luxembourg Commonwealth who had been exploiting the asteroids at the edge of Inner Space for many years. I took inspiration from the real world War of the Sicilian Vespers for this.
