Galaxy Layout

How is the galaxy laid out? like have you put 3 - 5 planets in a system or just the standard FOC & EAW way? or something completely new?

Can't put 3-5 planets in a system, that would be too many planets, too crowded, and there's very few systems that have more than one important planet. We have all the planets more or less where they should be.

There are various maps to be found online, such as:

http://www.xs4all.nl/~wrvh/galaxymap/images/navcomputer.jpg

http://www.xs4all.nl/~wrvh/galaxymap/galaxymap_p1.jpg

Im not entirely sure which the mod uses (it may be one of these or from another source entirely).

the essential atlas might be the most accurate to show planet positions
I reject your canon and substitute my own!

Is that the new book that came out a few weeks ago?

I use Modi's map for it. No way I'm buying any star wars encyclopedia book, so I'll just continue to use Modi's. The problem with the official ones is they only put the really important planets in, and the angle is weird.
