Default Star Wars Major Systems Map and a Mission :)

I've recently undertaken a mission to develop a true CANNON Star Wars Map, set loosely around the time of Grand Admiral Thrawn with the Alliance holding Coruscant. It currently has 17 playable sides including 5k Empire Files for each.

Sides:

Rebel Alliance
Black Sun Orginization
Bounty Hunters Guild
Imperial Remnant
Jawas
Smugglers Alliance
Dark Empire
Ssi Ruuk
Yuuzhan Vong
Yvethans
Trade Federation
Droid Revolution
Hapes Consortium
Wookies
Trandoshan
Mon Calamari
Bothans

Now on to some good news: This is quite unlike any map you'll have played. Most planets are named according to Star Wars Cannon Info, All Systems are also named accordingly, The Bothans reside on Bothawui in the Both System, etc. Hyper Space lanes are mostly cannon, from as much as I could glean them to be.

It was/is quite an undertaking thus my MISSION

I'd love to see somebody do some AI work for the SW MOD, as Andres has asked many times for the help with this, perhaps coupled with the Stellar Mod and (I hope) a steller SW MAP we can get some STELLAR AI that actually uses the Star Wars tech that Andres worked so hard on

The Star Wars Map is currently in Version Beta 2 and has yet to be thoroughly tested If anyone would like to try it out I will email it to them with the 17 Empire Files (all are set up to use standard SEIV tech as the AI cannot handle SW tech, if you play a side simply unselect SEIV Tech and replace it with SW Tech).

Things I may add, depending on response -

More Asteroids - Very tedious!
More Special features
More Cannon Planets (I dont want the map to play too slowly)
And anything else you may think of!

Thanks for Reading!

BTW I want to thank some inspirational people for this project :

Atrocities - For such a wonderful, complete mod. And for raising my expectations for other mods (is that a good thing!?)

Andres - For a mod with limitless potential, its looking great so far!

UserX and Tnarg - For showing me that it could be done: see their Star Trek Major Systems Maps for details -- I feel your pain!

I'd love to see your work. Don't know if you have ever seen it, but the Star Wars Insider fan club magazine put out a star wars fold out map several issues ago. Can't recall which one but I can go through my past issues to see if I can find it.

Hmm, reading my earlier post I wasnt entirely clear The Map is Done, I just may want to add more features after I get some feed back If you have the fold out map you'll see quite a few similarities as it is fairly accurate PM me and i'll email you the map.

Send it this way please.
It will probably be included with the next release of the mod.
