Hello all,

It's not on the new map from the force awakens beginner RPG Box.

The closest I have come to getting is that it is near Hutt space because of the quick hyperspace route they took in one of the Rebels Episodes to kessel and mentioned how close it was and the mention that they are near a major trade route. Ezra also seems to know who Jabba the Hutt is since he references him more then once which leads me to believe they may be close to a Hutt space planet or near the system.

The Lothal Sector and Lothal doesn't exist nor does the planet Garel on any Map officially. I know that rebels came after the majority of the maps.

I'm disappointed that with the force awakens box they had the perfect opportunity to place it on the map and update it.

Does anyone have an idea, leads, accurate information that could lead to the whereabouts Lothal. I'd like to introduce it into our campaign. I have actually mentioned it in one of our games from an NPC trader. I don't mind just making it up but I would love to see some accuracy.

I also noticed after picking up the new creatures adversary deck the Loth-cat is in it and talks about Lothal briefly.

Any help would be great. Or is this just Disney/Star Wars just not giving enough official information yet?

Thanks!

IMO, this is actually an advantage for you — now you get to put it wherever it makes the most sense for your game and your story.

Lothal seems to be close enough to Ryloth, potential alongside a sidearm of the corellian run, which would put it close enough to hutt space and tatooine as well. At least that is the impression I get out of rebels. It is its own sector and runs directly along a new imperial trade route which is still under development, which again suggest some exploration options and some wildspace close by.

Though I might be totally wrong as there is no hard evidence as far as I know to put it anywhere.

Besides: Everyone knows Jabba, especially in the outer rim.

As SEApocalypse hinted at. if Lothal is in fact near Ryloth that would mean it's close(ish) to Tatooine. Poor Luke may be thrown into the thick of it before he's ready.

There is a map that shows Lothal near Mon Cala I believe. I can't remember what this map is from, but I have seen it posted on the Jedi Council Forums at theforce.net. I'll try to track it down.

Isn't it supposed to be near Eriadu, Tarkin's home planet?

In a galaxy far far away.

So, the book “Nexus of Power” has an entry on Lothal (pages 38-43). It’s in the Lothal sector, in the Outer Rim region. That much we knew.

It doesn’t actually provide all that much useful information with regards to where it is located relative to any other well-known systems, except to say that:

Being far from established hyperspace lanes, Lothal was never much of a destination.

I would observe that if the planet is actually as close to Dac/Mon Calamari as indicated on that map, then it most definitely would not be “far from established hyperspace lanes”.

I'm really not a fan of that map's style. It doesn't make me very interested in that product.

yeah... when compared to the essential atlas this map is utter crap.

Thank you for all of the responses everyone. Much appreciated. Yes I will put it somewhere but wanted some accuracy. This does help. The map I have to disagree with as the layout makes not a lot of sense compared to the latest map released from FFG from the force awakens beginner RPG.

Interesting as in the show they mention it close to a hyperspace trade route. Misdirection?

One day hopefully we will finally get a location.

Thanks again everyone!

I believe Lothal is somewhere below Hithal.

Disney does not want to define where it is. THe best they have said is "The outer rim"

I don't understand why. In a galaxy with easy hyperspace travel it doesn't really have much influence having to cross half the galaxy to reach one planet or the other.

any good writer is going to ignore transitions or Traveling as stuff that does not matter. In TFA if you didn't know better you would have thought hyperspace travel was instantaneous. But in Star wars there is a lot more information you can gather on what Regions or even sectors a planet is in, or even what major trade routes it is near, if at all

For my purposes I'd assume Lothal Sector would either be a subsector of Dominus Sector, or a freestanding subsector near it and Mon Calamari space.

Wait, wait, hold the phone - when did Shantipole go from a rebel base in the Roche asteroid field to being an entire planet?

Well, you know, there is this theory about the origin of the Roche asteroid belt, maybe that map is a little bit on the older side of things …

Hmmm, or well, maybe project shantipole is just based on the prototype of the blade wing who got developed on the planet shantipole … as seen in Rebels.

Okay, I now officially dislike this Neo-Continuity. It was our very first game, we saved Ackbar and the B-Wings, not Hera and her crew. WE did, damnit!

Phooey on Disney!

Actually that episode hints that the B-Wing prototype gets send to Ackbar and the Verpine. Which leaves project shantipole in the roche asteroid belt very much alive. It just that we now have a planet which is the name giver for the project. And one pretty insane mon cal engineer as project leader.

I can't seem to find Nal Hutta on this map.

That unmapped area to the west is where all the Words In Space end up going. It's uncharted because it's just giant scrolls of long text smashing into each other and jumbling over there.
