Description of the map will begin, to use a clock metaphor, at the two o'clock position and will proceed counterclockwise. After exploring the Core Worlds, the areas from the Colonies to the edge of the Outer Rim will be "slices" largely described by lines representing the major trade route "spokes" reaching out into the galaxy from the Core. First, the Core will be examined, moving from the Inner Core to the Outer along each major spoke, then the areas between spokes, then the next spoke. Then, the regions will be filled in from the Core to the Rim, following the same spoke-to-spoke movement.
The spokes extending out of the Core include:
2:00 position: Corellian Run Trade Route (ends at far edge of Mid-Rim at roughly the same position)
1:00 position: Perlemian Trade Route (ends at far edge of Mid-Rim at roughly the same position)
11:45 position: Hydian Way Trade Route (an offset route, the Hydian Way finishes in the Rim around the 10:30 position)
11:00 position: Rimma Trade Route (slowly curves clockwise, more dramatic in Coreward edge of Outer Rim, to finish in the Rim around the 12:00 position)
9:15 position: Leisure Corridor (Fragments from the Rim area reaches as far counterclockwise as about the 8:30 position)
Coruscant's Trade Routes
Koros Trunk Line (into Inner Core at Empress Teta System, also gives access to Deep Core)
Leisure Corridor (heads out into Mid-Rim near the Fragments area)
Martial Cross (connects directly to Azure Sector, leaving the Core just after Lolnar, and continues on into the Gordian Reach)
Metellos Trade Route (probably at a 45-degree vertical angle, possibly straight over the top of the Core)
Shawken Spur (possibly a vertical route, not sure to where)
An unknown trade route goes from here to Alderaan's Graveyard and Delaya, and from there to Abregado-rae and the Rimma
The Corellian Run Trade Route
Corellia (the Hydian Way and Corellian Trade Spine begin in this area as well, heading closer to the 12:00 region)
Duro (The Duros Space Route begins in this area as well, heading closer to the 12:00 region)
The Perlemian Trade Route and other Ringali Shell features
Along the Perlemian:
- Bormea Sector: Corulag, Chandrila, Brentaal
- Darpa Sector: Esseles, Ralltiir, Rhinnal
Corulag-Jatir Hyperroute: Leaves from Corulag, travels through Azure Sector and into Colonies, where it reaches Jatir; only way for Empire to resupply Corulag
Bormea Sector: Corulag, Chandrila, Brentaal
The Hydian Way Trade Route
Starts between Corellia and Duros
Brentaal
Axum and Anaxes (Azure Sector)
Kuat Sector
The Rimma Trade Route
Abregado-Rae (Core Gateway, Rimma endpoint, there has to be a connection to Alderaan from here and one traveling counterclockwise and somewhat Coreward)
Properly, the Slice begins in the Colonies and extends only to the edge of the Mid-Rim, but the associated Outer Rim routes and areas will be included with it. It is described on the clockwise side by the Corellian Run, and on the counterclockwise by the Perlemian.
The Colonies
The Inner Rim
The Expansion Region
Brak Sector
The Mid-Rim
Trans-Nebular Sector
The Outer Rim
Central area:
M'shinni Sector
Nilgaard Sector
Perlemian:
Relgim Run (radial route, travels counterclockwise to somewhere near Eriadu)
The Commonality
Is Calamari around here?
This slice, reaching from the Colonies to the Mid-Rim, starts at the Perlemian and continues counterclockwise to just past the Hydian Way. However, due to the newly defined nature of the slice after the Gordian Reach (the Borderlands; see below), the border of this area will move not far clockwise of the Hydian Way before or early in the Mid-Rim.
The Colonies
- Hydian Way Trade Route
- Byblos; connects to Giju Passage
- Pyria Sector
- Martial Cross (continues on from Azure Sector to an undefined point out here)
- Corulag-Jatir Hyperroute
The Inner Rim
The Expansion Region
The Mid-Rim
Gordian Reach Trade Route (remnant of the old route; is Mid-Rim correct?)
Whitebeam Run (Airon Sector, near or in Sith Empire)
Sith Empire area
The Outer Rim
Primarily interesting as a slice during the current conflict, the Borderlands largely follows the twisting courses of the Hydian Way Trade Route and the Rimma Trade Route. They Hydian Way is properly contained in the Gordian Reach, but it proves to be the fringe of both areas up to the Mid-Rim. The Borderlands have recently been redefined as the center of an extremely high proportion of the fighting between the New Republic and the Second Imperium.
The Colonies
Rimma Trade Route
Shapani Bypass
Giju Passage
Tapani Sector and Herglic Space are here
The Inner Rim

The Expansion Region
Vaathkree Trade Corridor
The Mid-Rim
Vondarc (also the clockwise endpoint of the Enarc Run, this world is vital in resupplying the Eriadu, Sullust, and Sluis Van area; may want to connect Vondarc to the Lipsec Run or Relgim Run in order to allow traffic to reach Eriadu)

Sluis Van is nearby, counterclockwise a bit
Relgim Run ends somewhere around here and travels clockwise to the Perlemian

The Zuma (Coreward and clockwise of Sullust)
