Working on a Scarus Sector Map with Craftomega. This is what we have so far. Any input would be greatly appreciated. =D

Perfect! My RT groupe (well, one of them) is on their way to Scarus sector, and I was having a devil of a time comming up with anything. I'll just take a look at my notes and see if I have anything to add :)

Thank you.

I thought Spica Maximus was a Forbidden World rather than a Fortress World, where the tainted cogitators and flects originated. Perhaps I'm going senile and need to reread the Ravenor trilogy again...

I believe the names Sameter and Majeskus are not to be broken up as you have them- this from text in the book and not the Scarus map inside the cover page, and I'd assume Bradell's World should be the same. I'm not seeing Lethe Eleven- roughly one-third the way from Cartol straight toward Thracian Primaris. Frant's Planet (on your map), a Shrine World located near your map key, has a superfluous bracket { preceding the P. And you have 56 Izar as 56 I3ar- seems you used the original map as well, so check Punzel for conformation of the use of the letter z.

Just some little things I noticed or checked against the Black Library version. Hope it helps.

But in all fairness, I couldn't come close to the fine work you've done. It's remarkable. I love it.

Thanks Orpheo,

I was running off the map off Lexacanum and the 40k wikia which have this black and white map, which was hard to read from at times. I wasn't 100% lore savvy on the sector and was hoping for replies this to give me more accurate information. I'll be making the corrections shortly. =D

Check this bad boy out (and you can magnify it, too).

Vogel Passionata- Passionata is meant to be one word.

Femis Major, not Fremis.

Now here's one that bugs me about the Calixis map...Sleef is included. It's called Sleef Outworld in the very beginning of the Ravenor trilogy. We all know Dan Abnett contributed to the original Dark Heresy fluff. I think Sleef should be located closer to the Scarus boundary, much farther Rimward in the Periphery than indicated on the Calixis map. Just me, maybe, but I'd be inclined to put it Coreward of Loki, almost at the edge of your map. Just me, though.

Currently working with Craftomega to make the edits. Taking that Sleef idea!

Also, we've come to a determination to make two variants once we get all the lore and names fixed, with positioning. The second version will take into account the Black Crusade, the Green Kroosade (indicating Ork-Held Worlds), and which worlds were won by the forces of Chaos.

56 Izar got fixed nicely, but Punzel got switched to Pun3el. The threes have it in for you, Sir.

Very nice.
