Multi Star Real Map, NEED HELP

[PvK]

Anyone play the space conquest game Imperium of circa 1991 (I had it on Atari ST)? It had a 3D map... ouch, I had a terrible time gaining any sense of how the systems were oriented. About the time I managed to get a few scouts to look at neighboring systems, I was bulldozed and conquered by massive AI armadas. The game didn't really seem finished and balanced, but it had some neat aspects to it, such as characters that could be assigned to ship and planet leadership, with different skills and degrees of loyalty, to whom you could reward with pay, medals, promotions, and/or the rare drug that would prolong lifespans (if you could spare any).
