They had "the slice" and mentioned two major thorough fares...the Perlmenian and the Corellian Run. The map you linked above basically took that idea and expanded it a little more to the "north" and "south" but still went with the "eastward" expansion. <br /><br />The whole premise of how it was originally mentioned makes a bit more sense as to why they did it the way they did. The galactic core was so dense and so gravitically intense that exploration essentially couldn't safely explore "west" from the Core Worlds. They figured if they couldn't get through it, neither could anyone else. So expansion went "east" instead to the less intrinsicly dangerous areas. <br /><br />And truth be told, when you get into the aspects of how big a galaxy really is, expanding only "east" still allows for a very, VERY large amount of area and stars for the Star Wars universe to be located. <br /><br />Also, Wild Space was the area on the peripherary of the explored regions. Then the Unknown Region was basically all the areas "west" that didn't even qualify as being Wild Space.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
