Alliance Tactical Surface Map Symbols

As part of the Akbar/Madine Plan, these symbols are being taught to all Allied ground commands, along with certain Fleet and StarCom personnel. They are used for two dimensional maps, and to show details too small to be recognizable on larger, three-dimensional maps.

In use, they should be accompanied by an alphanumeric designation, so that they may be identified as individuals. The thusly marked map should be be accompanied by a legend identifying the location, time of the observations, a summery of situation and terrain, and explanitory notes. (For example, an Imperial facility may have two or more diffrent kinds of light anti-fighter artillery. The numbering of the symbols, along with the legend, will allow others who must use this information to determine the difference.)
