The official site has posted the latest extra for Star Wars: The Essential Atlas -- a updated appendix of known star systems.

The online appendix is the living mirror of the book's printed appendix and is now updated with new and missing information. Many of these additions, including Veccacopia, Shawti, Dandelo, and Crakull, were pointed out by readers who contacted us at essential.atlas@gmail.com. Others are new creations that have arisen since the Atlas was sent to press.

As a fan I used to complain when authors would create all-new planets instead of picking one of the thousands of pre-existing worlds that would have worked just as well. Ironically I'm now one of the worst offenders in this department. Many items on the list below, including Hydra, Waymancy, Slession, Kwapi, Vagar Praxut, and the Oolex Pulsar, come from stuff I've recently completed for Wizards of the Coast. (Weakness: I like creating nonsense words that resemble real words.)

Here's a full list of the new additions:

Abrihom, Anduvia, Ankori, Arthon
Begali, Bettok, Blair Cluster, Borga, Brachi, Bresallis
Calast, Canoliss, Cataalda, Chuzalla (site of the lawless city of Zallakesh), Crakull
