Right.  So I can use all the canon maps I have lying about . . .

Star and mainworld.  Unless the mainworld orbits a gas giant, of
course.  In the first case, someone figured out for me that planet to
L4/L5 would be about 3.5 days one way (at 1g constand accel).  That
goes up to about a week for a mainworld orbiting a gas giant.  I'm not
*certain* I'm going to leave the gates there, but that's my current
working model.
