Territorial Maps (Riker's Quarters)
A cluster of territorial maps laid out as a prop in Riker's private quarters: large-format boundary charts and annotated star‑sector diagrams showing disputed borders and settlement lines. The sheets appear worn at the folds, bearing handwritten notations and tactical ink marks; characters glance at their margins and fingers trace contested lines during conversation. The maps function as a visual backdrop that grounds the moral and political argument Worf and Riker exchange, offering concrete geography to an otherwise abstract conflict.

Significance
The maps concretize the wider political stakes of Worf’s dilemma, turning abstract vengeance versus duty into recognisable borders and claims; they anchor Riker’s counsel in tangible geography and heighten the scene’s tension between personal loyalty and interstate conflict.
