Yes that would work, but wouldn't you need in effect 2 maps? 1 of the galaxy and 1 for each system.

Well, it would depend upon how fast your ships are going of course. Going at many times light speed as the ships of the treck universe do, it doesn't seem unrealistic to make the map the same size as normal, ---- provided you grouped the planets, aka cities into realistic system locations, so for instance having the sol system with Earth, mars etc on top left corner at around coordinates 1, 120, then have the romulans over on the bottom right at 120 120.
