speaking of nihilus i've been looking into the game recently and decided i'm probably going to play Kot R I and 2 at some point.
i believe they aren't canon anymore but tbh i don't really care. a good story is a good story, after all.
It seems the First Order is located on the left hand side of the Galaxy. Also Hosnian Prime is right next to Corellia.
And I'm kinda surprised that Jakku seems to be in the inner rim.
You'd think the Republic would count this as an invasion considering FO troops touched down on Jakku.
Yeah, the Republic was founded in the Core Worlds (all of those statues outside the Senate building are known as the "Avenue of the Core Founders), and all of the Colonies came from a huge amount of hyperspace exploration that came before the Republic began when planets from all over sent out hyperspace beacons and whatnot to allow their citizens to be able to make it through hyperspace. Until new routes were charted a lot of the nations in the galaxy were along those trade routes, except for ones like the Empire of Xim, the Hutts, the Rakkata, and a number of others like that.
That map when I saw it in the book made me go "Wow, Revan's party went all over the galaxy. I always thought they kept to one region before moving to the end game at Rakata Prime". Oh and "Malachor is probably destroyed because almost all other planets mentioned in the book are here on the map apart from it and Taris(who have a senator in the book)".

Born on Dathomir, raised on Rattatak. Rattatak has a species called Rattataki, which Ventress was originally intended to be from, but after the retcon it was said that she just pretended to be one, including shaving her head (Rattataki have no hair while Dathomirians do).

I've heard TFA called "Legacy of the Force except good."
