    Question Software for 2D star empire maps?

    I'm looking into options to create some more stunning maps than I currently do in Adobe Illustrator, and am looking at software to create a good 2D star map.

    It needs to do borders (autogenerated would be awesome but we can all dream) and system labels.

    I already have a dataset of 3500+ planets (X, Y, Name, OwningEmpire (stellar type)), which I would like to import.

    I've looked a little at AstroSynthesis 3.0 (which seems to only do 3D...) and just got Cosmographer 3 from Pro Fantasy which looks a bit promising.


    Examples of maps I've made before and which I'm looking to emulate the look of are:

    Any tips?
