So, while updating things for the Roleplay section of the forums, I have come across what is probably one of the best Star Wars maps EVER! It's basically like Google Maps for Star Wars. You can scroll and zoom and search and everything. You should definitely bookmark it! Check it out: http://www.swgalaxymap.com/

It is definitely one of the prettiest things I have ever seen. Do you know how many times I have needed something like this doing research for the RPGs or my storywriting? It even has links! *is completely in love*

I won't say no if a Mod would like to bookmark this thread because of it being such an important tool. This might also become a discussion about various places in the Star Wars Galaxy.

I'll kick off the places discussion. So, that little spot over to the left all by itself with no hyperspace route (Ilum) is where they have to go to get Kyber crystals. Nice. That doesn't seem like too much for a KID.

Hi, this map made me feel like Obi-Wan Kenobi, why? Because "lost a planet have I!" I can't seem to find the planet Bal'Demnic, which from past records should be in the Bakrofsen system, the Auril sector near Ossus. Maybe it is one of the blue pins marked as "No Data available". There is a planet called Belderone so not sure if Bal'Demnic has been renamed.
I think Bal'Demnic is considered canon as it was mentioned in the Clone Wars cartoons. Oh well back to the Jedi Archives I guess.

I couldn't find Dromund Kaas, but I just chalked that up to me being a stooge...lol Edit: found it...

That doesn't seem like too much for a KID. I'm betting the Jedi had charted hyperspace routes to Ilum. They just didn't share them, for obvious reasons.

Using the reference that the Auril sector was located in the Outer Rim Territories, and that the planets located in this sector included Ossus, Murkhana, Bal'demnic, and Auril, I was able to find the sector where it'd be as well as 3 of those 4 planets, but no it's not on this map or any others that are static picture maps. I couldn't find Dromund Kaas, but I just chalked that up to me being a stooge...lol
Heh, that one is easy. It's two dots NE from Korriban. I've played SWTOR enough to know where it is on a map.

Thank you Krace, at least I am not going mad, though I fear a sinister plot to eradicate the planet from history. That would pose problems for me as I (as For Tyeth) took part in the Battle of Bal'Demnic

I'm sure they do, down in the Jedi Archives. You probably have to be a Jedi to access the information. But, it still sounds like a crappy place to send a kid to get a crystal, Jedi apprentice or not.

That would pose problems for me as I (as For Tyeth) took part in the Battle of Bal'Demnic Well, obviously this map is only as complete as it's sources were. Since none of the picture maps contained it, this one doesn't either. Also, the search function doesn't seem to like planets with special characters in the name like ' and such. I'm sure they do, down in the Jedi Archives. You probably have to be a Jedi to access the information.
But, it still sounds like a crappy place to send a kid to get a crystal, Jedi apprentice or not.
True, but usually there was a Knight or Master present on planet for the trial. The Jedi weren't totally savage about things like that. Now if it had been a Sith trial, oh yeah, they'd totally send them all by themselves.

Yes I noticed the Syntax error reports on the search function. Hopefully in future upgrades this will be fixed and it will be the "go to" resource for finding our planets! So thank you Krace for bringing it to our attention again.
point incoming.
