I have always preferred using the inside-cover map of the Koronus Expanse. The full-color one buried in the book proper is full of errors and lacks the “cool factor”. However, FFG has never released the inner-cover map in digital format. The OEF files don’t come with it, and even the best scan left me unimpressed. Additionally, I wanted a map that I could edit as needed for my personal campaign.

So this is where a friend of mine comes in (http://cronevald.deviantart.com/). A fantastic illustrator and comic artist, I got him to draw me a map. Originally I just wanted a line-art map for my campaign, but he decided that simply wouldn’t do. So now I am happy to present, and offer to the community, a killer map of the Koronus Expanse.

I have several versions, along with links to large (4650x3150 uncompressed TIF) files at my Rogue Trader blog:

That looks awesome!

It's a shame our group is using the color map, since a lot of planets and stuff are in different locations, so transitioning to this one would turn the world upside down (Not your doing, this is how FFG made the two maps different to start with :s )

Excellent stuff! For a new RT campaign, this would be awesome. The cover map gives a better sense the Heathen Stars are isolated, at least compared to the colour map.

I printed this version of the map off so my players have a map they can fill in with new locations and warp routes thanks for the link!

This is really great, I've printed it off for my next game.
