The Spacepiress of Chaos
A suggestion carried over from the original post - HERE - and as suggested by [member="Itash Mecetti"]
The Banned List is an integral part of Chaos and it serves a purpose to ensure that specific situations that arise do not break the site by preventing access to those tools that would otherwise cause those situations to arise in the first place. However; as marked on the Banned List - there is a minor allowance of a banded item.
However; there is a middle ground that was suggested by Itash - and can be expanded upon.
Star Wars has a history of visiting or otherwise setting up some additional story possibilities when it comes to the companion galaxies. We even see from the rule above that while Extragalactic Subjects are banned - those does not include canon species, technology, planets, etc etc. Though I feel that not many utilize those canon aspects because they are included - albeit as a clarification - on the banned items list.
Because when was the last time you saw someone playing a Tof or Nagai character? Or mention their adventures in the Rishi Maze?
I would thus like to suggest that we allow and open up to further exploration and development the companion galaxies.
More specifically the two closest of the companion galaxies - Companion Aurek, also known as the Rishi Maze and Companion Besh, known locally as Firefist. While these two would be approved (as they are the closest and there is precedence already in the form of established species and stories that show they can be traveled to and from with relative ease) the remaining companion galaxies (Cresh, Dorn, Esk, Forn and Grek) would remain off-limits due to their distance and no established Star Wars Legends Canon involving those galaxies.
I believe that this would allow an otherwise often empty or overlooked regions to be further explored, developed and potentially lead to additional stories and plots - as well as Site Events - that could take place in these relatively untouched locations.
To further keep these locations and stories contained - I would also suggest the establishment of a new forum titled "Companion Galaxies" with the subforums of "The Rishi Maze" and "Firefist" - located in the Roleplay Section.

While the original suggestion was to include additional maps - that of Otherspace and the Companion Galaxies - alongside the primary map; while interesting in itself - it would provide additional problems in terms of time and effort put in by those already working hard on keeping our current map updated each month.Extragalactic Subjects (canon species/technology/planets/etc exempt.)
