Added dozens of missing planets from Rogue One, Rebels, and The Clone Wars and corrected information on a few existing planets including the location of Scarif. THE LAST JEDI UPDATE: Added Ahch-To, Crait, and Cantonica and fixed a couple wrong and missing planets. SOLO UPDATE: Added Savareen and Vandor from Solo: A Star Wars Story, as well as a few other missing ones.Īdded a couple missing planets, fixed some typos and broken links. His resume and projects are available at Changelog: He has been an avid reader, gamer, viewer and occasionally participant in the Star Wars Extended Universe. Kevin Wierman got the search function working. He’s a map, sci-fi, and beer nerd living in Philadelphia. Henry Bernberg designed and built the map and manages all the datasets involved. If you like the map or use it as a resource, please consider donating so that I can continue to update the map and maintain the website. ![]() If you see something that’s misspelled, has broken link, or is in the wrong place, let me know using the “Report a Problem” form on the contact page and I’ll do what I can to address it in a future release. Additionally, not all the data was perfectly consistent between maps. The Star Wars galaxy map contains a lot of information and as much of the process of making it was as automated as possible. I know it’s not as good for browsing, but my next goal is to have a single combined map that works for everything. Search: Click on the “Search the Galaxy” link for a searchable version. You can view any combination of the Planets, Hyperspace, Sectors, and Region layers by clicking the “Visible Layers” dialogue and toggling the layers you want to see. Layers: You can turn layers on and off to filter the information you want to see. Hover: Hovering over an object will give you basic information about it.Ĭlick: Clicking on an object will give you more in depth information including a link to the Wookieepedia article. In future releases zooming in and out will display more or fewer details to make the map easier to use. ![]() Zooming: You can zoom in or out either by using the zoom arrows inset into the map or by scrolling like you would in Google Maps. For the ease of working with software scaled for terrestrial mapping, everything is scaled so that 1 parsec displays as 1 kilometer. ![]() I decided to use a cartesian grid for the simplicity and accuracy of how the data is displayed. While the isometric projection is more visually interesting, it’s less accurate spatially and makes it more difficult to bring together data from other sources. Other versions of the map are either in a cartesian grid projection or an isometric projection. This is to make the map easier to read when zoomed out. Planets and hyperspace routes that appear on the galaxy-wide map are given highest priority, with regional and sector maps given lower priority and smaller locations like the Hapes Cluster given the lowest priority. Objects are represented based on how they appear in the Essential Atlas maps. Each object has a set of attributes including its name, location, and other information that make it possible to search the data. Elements of the map are represented differently planets are represents as points, hyperspace lanes as polylines, and regions and sectors as polygons. I georeferenced scans of the maps using the standard grid system and began tracing elements from the individual maps. I started making the map by using the Star Wars: The Essential Atlas as a reference and working in ArcGIS using AutoCAD and Adobe Illustrator for supplemental work. I decided to use my experience with geographic information systems (GIS) to make an interactive version of the map where users could easily search for planets and objects would link to Wookieepedia or other resources. Even the vector PDF formats can be tricky to search and don’t include other information about the objects. These are great resources and are extremely detailed but due to formatting can be clumsy to deal with. van Hage’s map lead me to Modi’s map and the official Star Wars: The Essential Atlas. I decided to make this map after finding some of the existing galaxy maps. When maps of the sectors of the Deep Core, Core, and Colonies are published, those will be included. It’s meant as a way to explore the galaxy, find points of interest, and discover more information about the movies and expanded universe.Ī note on sectors: The sectors currently included come from the Star Wars: The Essential Atlas Online Companion. ![]() It contains all the planets, hyperspace lanes, sectors, and regions of the Galaxy Far, Far Away. This is a comprehensive map of the Star Wars galaxy based on the available published information.
