Five identical maps.
Play as the Federation, Klingon Empire, Romulan Star Empire, 
invade the Alpha Quadrant as the Dominion and Cardassian Union, 
or attempt to assimilate the Alpha Quadrant as the Borg.

Recommend playing with the Sacrifice of Angels mod for SoaSE, found at

Recommend to use quick start, as you will start with two somewhat developed planets
and two capital ships. This makes for a much faster start to the game.
Most races will be able to quickly expand to 5-6 planets, but going beyond that will
require confrontation. Who you choose as your ally and your foe may determine the
fate of the the Alpha Quadrant.

If using windows 7, I found success in getting the maps to load by unzipping to
C://users/******/appdata/local/ironcladgames/sinsofasolarempire/GalaxyForge
These work in diplomacy.

Most inhabited planets have names, but space junk
