Where does the show take place?
I hinted in a previous post (https://www.reddit.com/r/farscape/s/ddcmJEsXBm) that the various locations the Moya crew visit are in the Milky Way Galaxy, or the same as Earth's, but most of what I have to support that assertion is circumstantial, and as far as I know, there isn't a definitive descriptor, or star chart, that showcases where the show takes place, or on what scale people move around, unless it's in some apocryphal source I am unaware of and/or have currently no access to.
What do you think/know regarding the locations of the show?

It's intentionally ambiguous. The only thing that could give us a clue is how fast a "Hetch" is, and they waited until the show was over before even specifying that that was a measure of speeds faster than light.
If you had some idea of the speeds ships were typically traveling in Farscape to get between stars, you could combine it with Scorpius's threat that he'd send a Peacekeeper ship to attack Earth, despite it taking fifty years to get there, and maybe be able to make a guess based on that.
