The Galaxy, and how it looks like...

Perhaps we need a list from players.. "All planets that we require to be in the galaxy" Smile

Khazaar, check nav-computer.com under Tapani Sector, Nyssa is somewhere in the center of that map.

I´ve tried to simplify the galaxy map so it would help us to coordiante larger scale actions. But while handling the Core was manageble I´m having difficulties grouping the outer systems into sectors. Eather we will simplify and loose quite a few systems or we can work with the map that is provided and have a rather complex galaxy that will make for complex fleet and troop coordination. Question

As for your Homeplanet, it probably still wouldn´t be on the map but that doesn´t mean it isn´t there....

that sucks and doesn't sound very realistic. I have a large backstory for my character planned and some character development with regards to that planet and now you are saying that it's not on the map, cause you want a simple map.

Well with me I think that we shouldn't limit anybody in what they can do and getting a really small map with only a few locations on it, isn't very realistic.

With a small map, it's only a matter of time before the empire discovers the hidden RA base.....

*looks shifty and condenses the map*

We could just start with a core map and as planets become explored, added, conquiered. They could keep getting added to the galactic map? So that way people could be from whatever cannon planet they wish even if it's in the outer rim. The map most people would have access to anyway would just be core systems and trade routes.

I'm sure that we can create sub system or sector maps as needed. Just because it doesn't appear on the galaxy map doesn't mean its not there.

Look at a current world map. Is everything listed?

One step at a time. Get the large one done, the work on the smaller sector maps as needed.

Just loosen your uniform and relax....

If you have constructive criticism, let me know. I´ve prepared an excel sheet that can help us keep track of fleet and troop movement (and everyting else for that matter). If we use this format we can also use another way of tracking troops and fleets *cough Rebellion cough*.

I have a big problem with grouping everything under sectors. Most of these systems don't belong to sectors, so grouping them together under sectors would be wrong. You can still group sectors together which are known to be long together, like the Tapani Sector.

Grouping things together is a poor way of trying to make sense of the map. I think the largest body should a sector, but I don't see why everything has to be assigned to a sector. Some systems are far more important by there own name, then assigning them to a sector. Assigning systems to sectors will not make it easier to find systems and it will only complicate things in the end.

How well we want to generalise things, I don't think that shoveling systems into clear bound sectors is the way to go.

Half the sectors that you marked aren't canon from any sources. I suggest sticking with only canon sectors, and if a planet is not known to belong to a sector then that is very well and it should remain like that. I think it's fine if the Empire wants to put everything in sectors, but I don't think that we should organise everything to accomodate that.

From long standing gaming experience, I recall the following sectors that were commonly refered to- Corellian, The Coperate Sector, and Tapani. Other areas that fall under the basic classifications of sectors includes The Deep Core, the Core Worlds, the Mid Rim, the Expansionist Region, the Outer Rim, Hutt Space, the Hapes Cluster, Wild Space, and the Unknown Regions.

SyberJedi, most of the "sectors" you are talking about aren't actually sectors but sections of the Star Wars Galaxy. They tend to go out like concentric circles:

Deep Core, Core, Colonies, Inner Rim, Mid Rim, Outer Rim, with Unknown Regions occupying one outer section, and Wild Space the opposite one. The other arms are the Corporate Sector, and Ssi-Ruuvi Territory.

DUH! That's what I said. Just in different terms. I've done this stuff before, several years ago. Look in the Warehouse.

Sorry, you called it a "sector" technically its not a "sector". Lol.

Without bickering about if it's a sector or not I propose the highest organisational layer to be a system. Systems are natural and a planet always belongs to a planet and we won't have discussions about that.

I know this leaves us with a lot of planets, but in that system it'll be easier to add, move, remove planets as we like, without having to worry about which sector it belongs to. For organisational reasons the GE can put all the planets into sectors, but they should do that themselves, other MG's might not agree.

Guys (and gals Cool

) I don´t think you need to worry too much about if its called a sector or not. The systems have been grouped by proximity. This just simplifies things, every system stands for itself.

More speciffically I called the Hutt sector Nar Shaddaa Sector since the syndicate wanted to get away from all this "Huttism". I can change it back in notime...

Why would we name a sector after a moon though? Smile
