Map Taglines

I don't know if this is possible coding-wise, but lately I've been drawn towards making maps with a feeling of more "realism" in terms of the Star Trek Universe. I would like to attempt to make a map incorporating some geography from the Briar Patch, the Cardassian-Federation DMZ, the Nuetral Zone, yadda yadda ...

This is all possible at the moment (though some interactable and neutral NPC's would help

), but I thought that a huge amount of story and info could be conveyed with a simple Tagline attached to a map in the selection menu.

Do you Devs think that's a possibility?

Right now I'm chomping at the bit to create a map somewhere in the Briar Patch that will eventually include some NPC's and the goal of controlling "planets" (the planet graphics with most of the moons in orbit). I'd very much like to begin work on this soon but I feel that a Tagline would help us map-makers get a very small point across while a person chooses the maps.

"Divide and Conquer!"

"Controlling the middle leads to victory!"

"The Starship Graveyard!"

Are things that come to mind
