Found a very odd thing in the Canon novel "Aftermath." There is a jungle planet in the book called Akiva. It's a cool planet, and I was planning on using it in my campaign. I just needed to locate it. Being a "new" planet, it is not on the galaxy map.

• The book first of all says that Akiva is in the Outer Rim.
• Secondly, Akiva was one of five worlds closest to Raydonia, the others being Mustafar, Geonosis, Dermos, and Tatooine.
• Raydonia is said to be located close to Dathomir.
• No clue where Dermos is...
• Tattooine, Mustafar and Dathomir are in completely different parts of the galaxy!
• Where the heck is Akiva located?!

“Lost a planet Master Obi-Wan has. How embarrassing …” (Someone have been messing with the data bank again.)

I know no one has an answer to this, as it is probably just a Wendig inconsistency, but I just wanted to post it. Being a geek, this stuff drives me nuts.

FFG pulls stuff from Canon and EU Legends, so it isn't surprising to see some inconsistencies to the new Canon. That being said, Tatooine and Geonosis are fairly close to each other. You could insert Akiva in the area those two planets inhabit and provide a stepping off point at Tatooine or Geonosis.

Maybe take a look at this: http://www.swgalaxymap.com/

Yeah, neither Raydonia, Akiva, nor Dermos are on that map, and no Galactic Coordinates have been given for any of them yet.

Raydonia is "relatively close to Dathomir" according to canon ( http://www.starwars.com/databank/raydonia )

According to the Essential Atlas online companion, Raydonia is located in the same grid square as Dathomir.

So, how can you be close to Tattooine, Mustafar and Raydonia?! LOL!

Meh. That would be useless when actually describing a location.

I guess, if one doesn't feel like being creative. Are we talking about "close" in terms of actual physical distance, or "close" in terms of how long it takes to get from one to another?

I don't know... Whatever Chuck Wendig was intending when he wrote Aftermath.

He's taken a few beatings over this series of novels, I'll give him a pass on this. We're not exactly dealing with hard science here....

Other than being a bit "preachy," I actually really like the Aftermath books, especially Life Debt.
