Can the Gaia data being used to create a AstroSynthesis map for gaming?
Would be cool to have an ultra realistic map of the galaxy from the data pulled by the Gaia program!

In the Advanced Usage section of the help file, under Importing and Merging, there's a section describing a CSV file format that Astro can import. So you'd have to get the data out of this or any other stellar database and reformat it into the format Astro can import.
There's a few data sets made this way available on NOX:

Alternatively, you can use the programming language of your choice to insert stellar data into Astro's .AstroDB file since its a standard SQLite file. If you take a look at the tables, they should be very straight forward.
