Default Re: Wondering on Star wars star map data

Not sure if that's a safe assumption..they could have made up stars or moved some for convenience, after all.
One example of that is the old tabletop boardgame _Federation Space_ (Task Force Games, 1981). The designer's notes point out that they deliberately distorted the map, because at the map's scale, the major worlds of the Federation would all be in a single hex, and it would take 50 years at maximum warp to reach the Klingon border.
