Sol system
celestial body without an entry

The Sol system is schematic: orbits, angles and sizes are set, not measured. A celestial body becomes a world as soon as the atlas knows a world of the same name in the Segmentum Solar; its size then follows its number of connections.

Fenris system
body without an entry

The Fenris system is schematic: orbits, angles and sizes are set, not measured (the system map in the Space Wolves codex names the bodies but gives no dimensions). A body becomes a world as soon as the atlas shows a world of the same name in the Segmentum Obscurus.

Galactic Core
Votann conglomerate
Human enclave
Significant stronghold
Space anomaly
Warp storm
Main trade route

The map "The Galactic Core" in the German edition shows about 120 symbols; the atlas sets only the 24 named places, by eye from a photo of the book pages (position and distances are not measured). It does not draw the unlabelled symbols, the trade routes or the outlines of the conglomerates. A place becomes a world as soon as the atlas shows a world of the same name in the Segmentum Ultima.

Time: the timeline puts every entry into an epoch. Pick one and the worlds with something in that epoch light up; a dashed rim means: only roughly placed (the entry carries no date, the placement is an estimate).

Paths
Story path — the places of a story in the order its text names them
Sphere of action — the home world of a group and the worlds of its stories

A path is not a travel route: it shows which worlds occur together — in the order of the text or in the circle of a group. Pick one above under "Path" or in a world's panel.

A "×17" after a story means: the world is named 17 times in its text.

For printing: the map as a poster (PDF, A2). German · English

The map is schematic. A dot grows with its number of connections; a mention in the text of a story does not count towards it and colours nothing, it only appears in the panel. The Cicatrix Maledictum, Imperium Nihilus and Sanctus, the Eye of Terror, the Maelstrom and the Astronomican are decoration, not to scale.
