| abstract | - The Map Segments are pieces of an ancient 'treasure map' scattered across the galaxy following the end of the ancients. They lead to a treasure incomprehensible to any man, a treasure above all treasures, but only if they are all found. It has long been legend that there are nine segments of the map located across the galaxy, however many believed it to be a common fairy tale, passed down through the generations, however unbeknown to millions, the legends were true, as discovered by the Crew of the Starfire on Yuki Onna in 2899, where they discovered a piece of the map in an ancient tomb below the planet's icy surface. This led them to subsequent further segments, however unbeknown to them, someone else was looking. The government of the wealthiest planet in Known Space, Benzaiten were also after the segments, and had a tremendous amount of assets to assure that they were found.
