Missing Planets: Chandrila and Ahch-To

[Darth Ayra]

I've scoured the map, trying to find Chandrila and Ahch-To, but they don't seem to be on the map itself. As worlds found in legend canon and the newer canon, I would have thought that these worlds would have been added.

Do I need to make a planetary submission in the codex for either planets to be added? Or will they be included in the next map update?

Nah, you don't have to do a Codex entry. You can if you really want to, but you don't have to.
If you just want them on the map, submit them here.

If they are not currently listed on the map you will need to request they be added via this thread, following the appropriate template (to the T). Please be mindful of the map rules, such as planet limits per hex.

Planets needn't be added to the map, either.

Please don't put a planet like Ahch-To on the map.

It doesn't need to be on the map to be roleplayed on.

Thanks.

Why not?

Well, alright. Example one is a couple threads that happened on Tython. New folks show up, don't know who is who, decide to RP on Iconic Jedi World, whoops, its Sith Held, they get jumped and get thrashed their first thread. Its happened a couple of times. Why would you want that to happen with this Jedi World, supposed to be hidden and secluded on not on any normal star map.

Your alt RP's on the Home. It would suck if, say, the SSC took that system and wiped whatever you had done with it away.

Also, it doesn't make sense that Ahch-to would be on the map, its literally only on part of a single map, why would every joe schmo be able to find it on a star chart.

Somethings, that planet included, don't NEED to be on the map.

So your argument is that you wouldn't want Ahch-to to be dominioned or invaded?

Pretty much. I can see its not swaying you, but, that's okay. I guess to each their own.

I would think the planet would not really be necessary to be placed on the map because there is already a planet called Tython which was the original Homeworld of the Jedi. It would be much easier to just say that Tython and Ahch-To are the exact same place with the name being lost over time. Especially due to the lack of information on the planet Ahch-To.

Chandrila, hmm?

I have never understood this mindless fascination with putting planets on the Chaos Map. As if a person can't roleplay on a world if it ain't on the map. It brings a whole swath of annoyances, but has literally zero benefit to anyone, unless you are desiring to put your brand on it and claim it with your faction.

 

[Jorus Merrill]

What Draco said. Ahch-To gets put on the map, and the purest, best-hidden, and most unassuming shrine in all of canon will turn into some combination of personal fiefdom, map game dot, corporate acquisition, convenient pirate haven waiting for convenient liberation, war zone, point of grabby schismatic contention, defilement target, and hot tub locale. And if that doesn't disgust you, it sure disgusts me.

Also, Tython isn't Ahch-To. They're completely different in every way and located in completely different parts of the galaxy.

 

[Long Gone]

I say leave em off the map.

I don't know why people are so bent on more map game.

THIS IS MUH PLANET!!

Sometimes things are best when they're kept a secret.

At the time SJO was foundered, the map was very blanketed with factions controlling a large area of the map. We requested Voss to be added so we could have a place that had a great deal of history not only for the Jedi but Sith too. At that time there was not much to offer for us to set up on a Jedi planet. But now the map is wide open and there are plenty of planets to RP on that are not secured. And for someone to set up home on.

I also consider it bad form if there is a small group setting up on a planet not claimed or added to the map after it is requested, and others come and Dominion it, without asking those involved on that planet. Naturally, things can happen by mistake, but for the most part we all know if a certain planet is occupied and being RPed by a group.

I've told folk before that if they can't find their planet on chaos map, don't add it. Leave it be.

Once you add it, you flag it. And it only becomes a stepping stone in the end.

 

[Alric Kuhn]

As the current Map maker;

Ignore everyone in this thread. If you want to see a planet on the map for whatever reason, request it in the map update thread.

Dont really care about the why, but if you want to see it on there just request it. Granted this request can be denied for a number of reasons, but generally it will not be.

People will find their way to planets no matter how "secret" they are in canon. Doesnt matter if theyre on the map. So i say again, you want it, just request it.

 

[Hal Terrano]

Somewhere out there, there is a real cartographer looking at this thread, weeping openly at the group desire to hide a planet. If they didn't want people to use Ahch-To why didn't they delete it from Wookieepedia too?

"They probably call it Burma," he sniffles into his gin and tonic, questioning the very purpose of maps in the first place.

On the map or not, be good to Chandrila.
It is home, after all...
