I hope he does it I always wanted to see what the heck does the Imperial Civil War look like every time I look for it there's no good looking map or it absolutely nothing

Also the reconquest of the Outer Rim.

Holy crap talk about a difficult project.

Do you impostor as me?

@@grandadmiralthrawn3164 I think you must be impersonating him, personally.

DO IT COREY DO IT! DEW IT.

Dew it, even if it's not the jedi way!!

there is a shit laod of plkanets still to be explored in the galaxy in the deep core alone not to start on outer rim or the chaos

Do you not pay attention to the beginning of any Star wars movie it’s a long time ago in a galaxy far far away

@@flamebreaker7318, They said LIKE the Milky Way, not literally the MIlky Way. And since the Star Wars galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy its structure is likely broadly similar; in fact if it wasn't it would only reinforce OP's point since elliptical (read: spherical) or irregular galaxies are or have the potential to be even deeper in the third dimension, respectively.

@@flamebreaker7318 Did you not pay attention to them saying "LIKE the Milky Way" and not literally the Milky Way?

It's all really context dependent- sometimes that's more relevant, sometimes the territory blobs work better, it's just important to remember what the purpose of the map is, especially when comparing different eras, for example.

Well they might only control 1 end of the hyperplane or something. It is extremely useful to control only 1 end of the hyperplane in my opinion.

What we really need is a 3d map rather than a 2d one

@@archaean2331 Since the Star Wars galaxy is a spiral disc similar to our own I'm not sure how much that would add, versus complicating things too much. If you were an in-universe map you would have to account for 3 dimensions though.

@@Hibbidyhai It would definitely complicate things. Whilst it's probably not the best example but if you've ever played elite dangerous which is supposed to be a reasonably accurate representation of the Milky Way, you'd see just how much depth there'd be even to a spiral galaxy.

You should make videos on the topic

@@Cos_Why_Not thanks! I've been working for the Belgian federal government for 5 years now so sadly I think that I might have missed my mark for that but I hope some other history channel does pop up. If interested, I can always suggest the work, in English, of Jonathan Shepard or Catherine Holmes. In French there is also a lot although it is older and therefor less accurate sadly but Gilbert Dagron is quite famous though wrong on many fundamentals

Not entirely true. A Hyperlane is useful to you as soon as you can reach what you want to reach along the route. Not every goal lies at the other side of the Galaxy. Also oftentimes conquering parts of a Hyperlane is the first step to move down along the Route, so letting an enemy be with the thought of „it’s of no use to them“ could be fatal in Star Wars.

Imagine space ships as Ferraris on the highway. Highway might go through major towns but it's not all towns, and trying to get off the highway only to end up on local poorly maintained roads in bad weather without a gps is going to be tricky. Now imagine that in space with uncharted asteroid fields, space bats and pirates....

@@Swiss_femboy I'm confused....you just essentially said what I said with a completely different conclusion...

@@Kolonol1 no I am saying your line of thought is completely deadly to yourself in Star Wars. You cannot let an enemy maintain a foothold on a hyperlane without being at constant threat by it. It enables an Enemy to quickly attack you and as I say, rarely the goal of your enemy is at the end of the hyperlane. The stronghold comparison is bad. It would be like sitting on the end of a pipe, and an opponent controlling what goes through it. One day it might be goods coming you way, the other day it might be an invasion force, with the difference you cannot seal the pipe.

@@Swiss_femboy I know that's exactly what I said.... You are saying what I'm saying while you're saying that what I said was bad.

*Spanish Guitars and Latin intensify*

"The Essential Atlas: Star Wars" is what are you looking for; but it is based on the old Legend/EU canon. It's about the galactic history (from "prehistoric" Rakarta Empire to Post Endor Era) of the SW galaxy, showing sector maps, faction overview like Harpes or CSA, shwoing the routes of our heroes in the movies etc.

@@GermanOlle So the real canon then

@@spiffygonzales5899 Yeah. :P But I have to say: Some Disney canon stuff ware okay, too. But the Sequel era... nope. XD

Then you should expand your horizons of sci-fi, because if you think it's special--or even unique--you're kinda mistaken. Many have variations other than "point and arrive" that long predated Star Wars. Just a few examples off the top of my head: - Warhammer40K: Faster than light travel used by humans involves traveling through a literal hell dimension where demons are waiting to feast on an unprotected crew. Oh, and you might arrive at your destination before you left. Or a few centuries later. The Warp is like that. - 2200 RPG: Stutterwarp limits your ship to only being able to travel a given distance in light years before it has to stop near a stellar body to discharge the drive. Which means that if your ship can have a maximum travel distance of 7.7 light years, that star 8 light years away may be forever beyond reach except by taking a very circuitous route traveling though multiple star systems before being able to get to your destination, or be willing to spend decades poking along at sublight speed using reaction engines to get within range. - Alderson Drive: example of your standard jump points. Get to a point, activate your drive, and you instantly pop-out at the companion jump point at another star. Of course, like the preceding example, if jump points don't connect the stars directly, you have to go the long way around. Or perhaps not be able to reach it at all. Of the jump point might inconveniently be _inside_ the star you're going to. And if your trip involves multiple jumps? You're spending weeks chugging at sublight speed across a solar system to get from the point where you came in to the point where you want to leave. - Incidentally, Star Trek has had ships pulled out of warp, tossed into alternate universes, damaged by space anomalies and a whole host of other things which prevents it from always being "point and arrive", so even your best example is a great example.

@@keith6706 never knew most of that. Most informative. Thank you.

They're animations, they're not from a game. The ship models are from the EaWX mod for Empire at War, the maps are specifically made for this purpose.

These are animations I've made for various videos

@@CoreysDatapad Did you create the models yourself? If yes, how much would a commission cost? I always wanted a model of a Victory-class Star Destroyer according to my own headcanon. There is not a single depiction of my favorite ship out there that is 100% the way I like (except schematics from the side). All of the available official and non-official depictions (that aren't schematics) show different unique elements compared to the Imperial-class, but not a single one combines all of them. The Armada model is as close as it gets (the model in this video looks very close to it), but I prefer the atmospheric wings that open up over the way it's depicted in this video. Also, I love the way the two main engines of the Victory I look compared to the three engines of the Victory II. Do you know the model they created for the Victory I in the X-Wing Alliance Upgrade mod? It's almost perfect, but it has a diagonal "spine" behind the command tower, like the Imperial-class, instead of a vertical one. Edit: Also, the Essential Guides to Vehicles and Vessels' schematics from 1996 didn't show the communications tower that is present on the Armada model and the model in this video. I don't have any Legends sources for this, but my guess is that it's very possible that many of the Victories that were around during the OT were retrofitted with those, just like the Imperial Is.

This is a lore video, it has nothing to do with any video games.

@@CoreysDatapad "This is a lore video, it has nothing to do with any video games." You are mistaken. And You know why.

I imagine that it's a massive project involving super powerful reverse tractor beams pushing space dust and gases out of the way.

These are animations, though I made them using models we made for the Empire at War Expanded mods

If you're looking to play a game that looks like that, look up StarWars: Empire at War. The remake mod looks AWESOME.

@@CoreysDatapad What mod specifically?

@@spiffygonzales5899 The Empire at War Expanded mods: Thrawn's Revenge and Fall of the Republic

@@CoreysDatapad now im hoping for a EaW sequel with that level of graphics. or just a EaW sequel or something like it in general. i like the original but many things i find very clunky and even modded they can only be fixed to a certain degree when accounting for the fact that the game is really old by now.

They're animations I made, not game clips

@@CoreysDatapad dang, you should be in game dev this animations are meta. Had you told me this was prerelease on a game or mod you where making I would have believed you.

The ship models are from the EaWX mod for Empire at War, the maps are specifically made for this purpose.

They'd be moving along established hyperspace lanes, so the specific paths of historic exploration doesn't really matter. There are plenty of plot points about hyperspace lanes being mined and such, or places that have limited access (especially in the NJO and Clone Wars)

I'm unsure but if I were to guess, Dune. A lot of sci-fi was inspired by Dune. A lot of Star Wars itself was inspired by Dune.

I would not be surprises if 40K itself took some inspiration from Dune (like AI being tabu), Dune is almost inescapable when it comes to space opera

Even japan omly claims thr southern Kuril though. (By claiming they are not part of the Kurils)

@@DIEGhostfish crap knew I should have looked it up

@@Iamthelolrus Yeah, Japan is very bog on not openly defying their surrender treaty, qhere they swore off the Kurils, other than "Well THESE islands really aren't part of the Kurils."

@@Iamthelolrus And it's no big deal, we have at least one head of state making the same error, though he certainly has motive to take a maximalist position.

Any map that takes away land from China is a map I can support 👌
