Well, I started out with just a summary, but then after reading one of your responses to do this, I reallized that there would need to be alot of stuff for the GMs perusal. So, now I'm going to go back and add alot of stuff I passed over. When I send you the file, you'll see what I mean. I'm going to change the formatting a little also, justify the text and such.

As someone who has been compiling a list of planets for Star Wars in an attempt to make a complete "map", I wish you luck in your endeavor, Jamfke. Recently I was going back through my earlier, less than thorough, notes and retyping a complete list of planets, systems, sectors, regions and sources where at least one reference could be found on the planet. That file has turned pretty big, and I'm just going with names right now, not even a description, so I can only imagine what your file is going to look like.

So, best of luck and if you have anything that vexes you, don't hesitate to ask.

You might want to get a hard drive with a couple terabytes of storage space on it, Jam! Shocked

"Look at the size of that thing!"

Well, since I have not even started on mine yet, I shall remove this from my planned projects and defer it too you. Best of luck, and I can't wait to see it.

P.S. Could you also include which Sectors a planet falls in? I know, it's a lot to add.

If I can find the maps for them, I will include the sectors. It looks like most of them have their system/sector mentioned in their summary.

Does anyone have PDF copies of the Adventure Journals? I'm specifically looking for number 7. Thanks in advance!

Planets Update!

So many worlds! So little time! I've been crunching data for the past few weeks now and am pushing the 200 entry envelope. Each planet will have a various amount of information. Some will have nothing but a couple of paragraphs, others will cover two to three pages! It all depends on the source.

There are obvious reasons why there won't be a full coverage of planets that have been covered in great depth, like Yavin or Bespin, as they are detailed at great length in their own guides. I will give them the detail that each richly deserves however!

If anyone has a list of official known sectors of the galaxy, it would be much appreciated if you'd PM them to me!

As to the structure of the book, I thought about breaking the planets down into their sectors, but several of them would have only a single entry, so for now, I'm just going to leave it to an alphabetical rundown in the contents page. If anyone would like to see it the other way around, please make your sentiments known.

Thanks in advance for any help provided!

I agree that it whould be organized alphabetically. Most people don't care much about the sector organizations, and as you said, most sectors only have a single representative planet.

The utopic best thing would be to have big two-page galaxy map at the beginning or end of the book, with coordinates. So on each planet entry you have that planet's coordinates which can be used to locate it at the map.

Best of luck.

How about the map at the beginning AND the end? That way you can get to the closer one.
