Lit The Essential Atlas and Galactic Cartography: Official Discussion

Taris could also be a subsector within the Ojoster regional sector, since "sector" is used interchangeably for the two.

If you're thinking that's a handy fix for millions of potential errors, changes of plans and ambiguous cases, you've got a bright future in the retcon business!

 

or sectors had been renamed, sector boarders redrawn etc. over history and the Atlas appendix lists just the sectors for a certain era

I love retcons though I fear the day only retcons will be known of out GFFA and no original parts anymore

 

Another quick question: I can't find the Marcellus System in the Online Companion. The only thing that comes close is the Marca-System, which is the name of Marcellus' first planet. However, Marca is in the meerian Sector, which is not really close to the Expansion region.

However, Marcellus is supposed to be in the Marcellus Nebula, near, but not in the Sumitra Sector, which is in the Expansion Region, if my memory serves me right.

The Wook says that Marcellus is in the Outer Rim, but I've skimmed (very briefly) through the module and didn't find a mention of that.

Can anyone help me with that?

 

Some systems in the Atlas are listed by planet, rather than the system name (usually in cases where the planet is the more recognizable name). The "Marca" entry could be for the system, though I couldn't tell you about the positioning issue.

 

Marca/Marcellus is in N-6, ORT. Sumitra is Expansion Region, O-7. Seem pretty close to me -- recall the Mid Rim is about as wide as a village street out there....

Actually, Jason, you've already come up with the fix prior. Taris Sector is a reference from the pre-Ruusan Reformations reorganization of the sectors and therefore doesn't have to conform to the modern mappings.

 

Ha. That's amusing -- thanks for remembering. Though the most likely such reorganization would have it becoming a subsector, so there we are again....

 

Thanks for the quick answer.

 

Ok, the Togorian male leader is called the "Margrave"

a Margrave is a March-Lord, ie, a lord tasked with defending the Marches (Frontier regions) of a kingdom or empire

This got me curious about the origin of this position on Togoria, which in Imperial times is almost Ceremonial. What kingdom or empire was Togoria once a "March" of?

 

I'm reading Dooku's Secret Army and in one of the paths, you travel to Xxan, a water world in the outer rim (page 53). Is this a new planet? I didn't see it in the Atlas appendix and it doesn't have an entry on wookieepedia.

 

yub definitely new

 

I think Pzandias (page 108 of Dooku's Secret Army) is also a new planet.

 

I just got off ebay a copy of WotC's Attack on Endor Scenario Book. There's some cool stuff here, including a planet that I don't see in the Atlas, Magar's World. There isn't much detail about the planet given except that it's a "backwater" that doesn't appear on most star charts.

 

what book is that you got? never even heard of it on wotc side or elsewhere???

 

It's a small booklet that was packaged with the Attack on Endor minis, or so I gather. My copy was being sold loose (which is why I was able to buy it for $1.13 in mint condition ).

 

tell me more about the EU content. I wonder if all minis got such things. or how many there are. any idea? how many pages? images? artwork? hmmm... I know another board where this might be of interest

 

I was worried that there might be a star system or two in the Minis material. With reason, apparently.

 

don't worry... it is just a mini-starsystem

and as Plaristes said it does not appear on most charts.. so you could say you respected that

 

I'm not sure this is the right thread for that. I'll say in brief that it's 32 pages long, most of the art is from the films, and some of the cool new info includes a minis scenario of the Vong attacking a planet while refugees flee and another of a Nightsister-led gang of force sensitive outlaws attacking the academy on Yavin IV right after Desann attacked it with Kyle Katarn leading the Jedi to fight them off.

 

sweeet... you could create a topic about these booklets. if anybody has more, we need the EU stuff collected and analysed. hope this is canon

 

Howdy folks. Trying to track down a few potential star systems, either for the next online appendix or the one after that, and after nearly going blind I thought I'd crowdsource it out.

So, if you're game, please help me locate the references (specific page #s) for these:

ADVENTURE JOURNAL #6
Tallek

ADVENTURE JOURNAL #9
Kurdavvian sunrise

More to come! Any help much appreciated!

 

Tallek, p. 194, "The Cure":

"When Tallek had that outbreak of thorn fever, [the Empire] just hauled all the sick off to isolation camps and let them die."

 

Rockin'! One down! And two new ones....

CRACKEN'S REBEL OPERATIVES
Klatoon

GALAXY GUIDE 2
Galltine -- suspect this is in the 2nd edition of the book; if you have it please also quote context?

 

Galltine: GG2 2nd Ed., p. 92

"Elea has generated a very detailed electronic history for Kel - the character has birth records on Galltine, early service in the Hammo job corp, and docking passes to many spaceports."

Elea is a Rebel operative and Kel is a fake identity she created.

As for Klatoon, the closest I could find was an entry on a "Klatooinan" mechanic named Baarak Kalaim on p. 20 of the Dossier. I'm guessing "Klatooinan" is a misspelling of Klatooinian.
