Lit The Essential Atlas and Galactic Cartography: Official Discussion

I'm aware of it.

 

regarding Aftermaths astrographic failure... I propose that close does not always have to imply proximity due to distance but rather close as in "can be reached quickly" via established hyperlanes maybe. Say if all those are on or near major or semimajor lanes they could technically be reached by speed of plot (if ROTS and movies are any example) whereas others are indeed harder and slower to get to even if close to each other as in not much distance between them. You could take a quick jump up and down the perlemian but it take you ages to go through uncharted or less well tended space. I am aware that this retcon could refer to close to nearly any known world on hyperlanes, so its not perfect, but it might help.

 

Looks like Batuu is in the Trilon sector, home of Rattatak in the EU.

Now they need to do a Ventress on Baatu story... Baatu during the Clone Wars?

I imagined Baatu further out into Wild Space actually myself but I guess this fits too.

 

It's meant to be the gateway from "civilized" space into Wild Space, so it'd be on the border.

 

Pretty much exactly where I thought it’d be.

Since we are talking space here so is it the boarder

 

For many sectors we got sector or region maps, but:

Which sectors for which we got no detail maps do we know most about, or enough to be able to craft a sector/regional map?

Some stories take place in rather confined spaces or detail entire campaigns within one sector only. Also, which sectors and regions we do have such detail maps of got a lot of new stuff added in Legends or canon after said map that is not shown on it and has to be added to it?

 

There's probably enough material to put together a map of the Lothal sector, which I'm going to assume is the Dominus sector in old money.

No reason why a number of the planets first introduced in Rebels can't be located within the Lothal sector - it would explain why the Spectre crew (and then the Phoenix Cell) are aiding/visiting them.

 

The Lothal sector could be above the Dorminus sector.

 

I still love that the edge of the Perlemian Trade Route is a hotbed of Rebel activity. Hell, you have Mon Cala (and it's surrounding territories), Telaris, Dornea, Lothal, Garel, New Alderaan, etc. South of the route is a true trouble spot for the Empire to say the least!

I don't know if the following would be useful for resolving any Astrographical discrepancies within the new "Canon" or if this has already been thought of and addressed in some newer story, but the 2016 Character Guide entry for Tarkin mentions "priority sectors":


...if they function anything at all like they did in the EU, these Priority Sectors do not necessarily correspond to regular, fixed Sector boundaries. They can overlap multiple traditional planetary systems and even multiple Sectors. They could be completely unrelated to anything relating to the location of something in the Galaxy and just be various Projects, such as the Death Star Project. They also can be temporary, and thus can be used as a convenient storytelling aid, and also to explain away various issues resulting from imprecise or seemingly inaccurate usage of the word "Sector". A Priority Sector can be whatever and wherever it is needed to be for continuity purposes because that is how they functioned in-Universe for the Empire, and presumably still do in the post-2014 stories.

 

Don't treat this as an official answer, but I don't see why priority sectors would be defined differently than they were in the EU. If that's the case, yes, they'd work as described by SH and offer those possibilities.

 

Did Tarkin create the role of Grand Moff...or did Sheev do that??

 

Tarkin suggested it, and Palpatine formally created the position. Since it was Tarkin's idea, I'd argue that saying he created the role is fitting.

 

So I was at Galaxy's Edge yesterday, and played a little of the "Disney Play" app game. I saw that some of the prizes are listed as "Star Maps" of the various defined regions of the galaxy - the Slice, New Territories, etc. Does anyone know if these are actual 'maps' or just collectibles for the game?

 

it is an actual galaxy map split into collecteable parts, each with some planets etc. marked in it even. Together they are a full galaxy map. Funny, Baatu and Ach-To are on the same Unknown Regions piece.

 

Any screenshots of this that you know of?

 

In SW: D20 RPG Saga ed. supplement The Unknown Regions do they say, when presenting the pirate-nation Blazing Chain that "The far-ranging and splintered Blazing Chain can be found in any part of the Unknown Regions, although it is commonly encountered within the galactic disk and surrounding cloud " and I was wondering what area is "the galactic disk and surrounding cloud" exactly?

 

Maybe it's just me being slow but I don't see how that answer my question

 

Presumably, the disc, and the cloud of globular clusters surrounding the disc, are where the Blazing Claw are most of the time - and satellite galaxies like the Rishi Maze, are where the Blazing Claw are only rarely present (perhaps waylaying a Kaminoan clone consignment).
