View Full Version : Galaxy map
Tboy Oct 04, 2006, 06:13 AM There's gonna have to be a galaxy map, so here it is, courtesy of Wookieepedia:

BTW, the map isn't at the normal orientation, so if you want it at the 'normal' orientation, then rotate the picture 90 degrees clockwise.
Hope this helps.
Qdin Oct 04, 2006, 09:18 AM it looks pretty good, I guess...
the only thing is that for instance, Onderon is supposed to be pretty near Mandalore... :/ it's a fact that Onderon lies in the Outer Rim, which was THE reason that the Jedi Council didn't interact and sent to battle - simply because the 'theat' were so far away... It kinda doomed them all, didn't it? :rolleyes:
so I wouldn't honestly believe in this chart... Maybe somebody can take an in-game screenshot of the Galactic Overview in the various games? I've got SWBF1 and EAW and KOTOR1 and ", so how about taking some pictures of how the authors thought the universe looked like, and kinda mix them up in what would be the most trustworthy map? :)

perhaps this one is better?
Tboy Oct 04, 2006, 10:33 AM Sorry, Qdin, but I checked at this Wookieepedia page, and it clearly states Onderon is in the inner rim, corresponding with the map.

Qdin Oct 04, 2006, 02:31 PM hm...
what really annoys me is that I've got the knowledge from Kotor1 and 2, which is pretty much going into the Mandalorian Wars alot :P
I'm not saying you're a liar at all, but it's just odd that I've been confirmed multiple times on wookiepedia about Onderon's location in the Outer Rim... :/
anyways - now we've somewhat got a clear view on the planets :P
Tboy Oct 04, 2006, 02:44 PM Sounds like some of the game makers got their facts wrong... annoyiny, that. But now we have two maps, so the map should be accurate.
WGW Oct 05, 2006, 08:58 AM at home i have the oficial star wars fact files and it sayes that onderon is in the inner rim so no doubt it is in the inner rim :) (the fact files are a product by lucas art and i dont thnik they are wrong :P)
Qdin Oct 05, 2006, 09:44 AM All Star Wars games are made by Lucas Arts, and the charts in there don't match completely... ;)
But this makes me think of one thing: why didn't the Jedi Council go to war against the Mandalorians? Their reason was that they had to wait till it was the 'right time' but also because it was in the Outer Rim... :/
WGW Oct 05, 2006, 01:42 PM thats cus they ****ed up that game.
in all the rest of the star wars world onderon shows up as an inner rim planet.
the reason why they didnt want to fight the war is cus they tought it wasnt the right thing to do.
Qdin Oct 06, 2006, 12:24 AM oh. well
I was just sure that it was in the Outer Rim.. :/
s.c.dude Oct 07, 2006, 06:36 PM shouldnt we just include the bigger worlds like this map showshttp://www.theforce.net/books/newspics/njo-map.jpg
Roland787 Jan 11, 2007, 10:18 PM one quick question. how exactly is this game gonna work mapwise?? we gonna be able to travel to diff planets? we just pick one planet the civ we want from that planet? forgive me if i missed something or if this is a stupid common sense question that im just not getting because its late but could somebody please answer this for me, im a lil confuggled here.
sincerely,
civ newbie trying to get acquinted with and to distribute to the community
Qdin Jan 12, 2007, 11:53 AM I'd rather suggest using Scenarios on the different planets instead, so we have real movie-like battles
Roland787 Jan 12, 2007, 02:19 PM what if you dont want "movie-like battles" and want to create your own new star wars epic. maybe ewoks join the sith and theres evil little teddy bears everywhere.
"ahhhhhhhh, runnnn, theyre cute and cuddly but theyve come to eat you!!!!!!!!!!!"
Qdin Jan 15, 2007, 08:45 AM I've suggested that, but apparently CivManSam likes to have specific "relations" and such premade... :/
Roland787 Jan 15, 2007, 04:11 PM well whats the fun in that??? i rather like the idea of evil lil ewoks roamin the woods, i mean who wouldnt??!!!!??
adambot Mar 20, 2007, 09:41 PM I've suggested that, but apparently CivManSam likes to have specific "relations" and such premade... :/
I can say that those relations will not exist in the final "custom" version, but will exist in scenarios
well whats the fun in that??? i rather like the idea of evil lil ewoks roamin the woods, i mean who wouldnt??!!!!??
That would be awesome! I keep thinking of Lt Kettch: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Kettch
I'd rather suggest using Scenarios on the different planets instead, so we have real movie-like battles
I agree with this approach also
Kissamies Mar 21, 2007, 01:34 AM Ah, the mythical Lt Kettch, greatest Ewok ever.
adambot Mar 21, 2007, 08:35 AM And the interesting thing is that he survived after the supposed "extinction" of the ewoks (see http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Endor_Holocausthttp://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Endor_Holocaust)
Kissamies Mar 21, 2007, 09:50 PM Liked to tease the Ewok fans with that technical commentary link ever since I found it.
Sovin nai May 28, 2007, 06:08 AM There is quite a good map on the front of all of the NJO series books. It includes most of the galaxy, and also shows the Hyperspace routes.
Kissamies May 29, 2007, 06:20 AM Yeah, that map is pretty good, but I think the map in the first post is the best version I have seen. Probably based of the NJO map and improved.
s.c.dude May 31, 2007, 08:45 AM There is quite a good map on the front of all of the NJO series books. It includes most of the galaxy, and also shows the Hyperspace routes.i read mostly the YV series so mine is better:p
Sovin nai May 31, 2007, 05:19 PM If, by chance, by YV you mean Yuuzhan Vong, they are the same thing. If not, then disregard this.
