After generating the system (itself quite a fun little exercise), I fired up my flowchart software, drew out a neater version of the map, dropped in a couple of additional systems that we had already mentioned in the game and neatened the whole thing up in photoshop.
I decided that the links between the systems as determined by the Diaspora system would quite adequately represent stable passages through the warp without any alteration of the rules, each line between the systems would take three months travel, however this could be modified (as per the "Handling time" section in the Diaspora rules) by a navigation roll made by the ships Navigator.
The systems we generated looked like this...
- Ariadne T -2, E +2, R 0
