Tabletop help ... sorta

[binidj]

So I'm starting to plan this sci-fi tabletop game which features stable wormholes linking locations (think of a less-cheesy version of Stargate: Atlantis or an inferior version of The Algebraist) and I'm wondering if there's some kind of (easy to use and free) mapping programme that anyone knows of to show solar systems and their relationship to each other based on the wormholes?

Any help gratefully received.

Nice thing about Wormholes is that you can actually plot the whole thing in 2D and not have to worry about 3D which is very difficult without a handy computer (and holotank). Do you want something similar to this map of Fading Suns Known Worlds?.

I would suggest you go and ask on forum.rpg,net, if such a program exists someone there will have heard of it.

That's the sort of thing alright, although clearly I'd like to be able to design it myself ... I was after something pretty which I can't seem to find trawling through the Traveller™ sites. I was also looking for something that would generate realistic (ish) system maps that would, again, be pretty. These are for player handouts rather than my own use so they need to look suitably sci-fiesque.
