Around a month ago, I made a 40k map. I did listen to the criticisms and new information. I think I can happily say this one is definitely better than the previous!
I return once again with an update to my longstanding galaxy map project. We are currently at 1155 locations listed and catalogued. As always I will be around to address any comments or questions regarding the map.
This interactive map set in the Warhammer 40K universe. The map shows the various territories, planets and other phenomena such as moons, webway gates and xenos incursions in the current setting (edition 9). You may also choose to view the Warhammer universe as it was during the Horus Heresy era.
Warhammer 40K Galaxy Map. Original 40K Galaxy Map If You Liked My Older One. Just the Legend For the Original Map. [UPDATE]: So I've made the image bigger, and I've added a legend. I noticed just a few things that were missing, specifically 'Xenos Incursions', Necron Inactive Tomb Worlds and CrownWorlds, and the Ork symbol.

Billions of years old, the earliest known sentient race in the galaxy were the Old Ones. Mastering advanced technologies derived from the Warp and creating the Webway, they soon established an empire across the whole galaxy. They believed that all life was useful and they are known to had brought about the rise of numerous new species, such as huma...
The Imperium
The Imperium is the largest empire in the Galaxy, centred around Terra in the galactic west, consisting of at least a million worlds which are dispersed throughout the entire Galaxy. Space ruled by the Imperium is divided into five fleet zones, known as Segmentums: 1. Segmentum Solar 2. Ultima Segmentum 3. Segmentum Tempestus 4. Segmentum Pacificus 5. Segmentum Obscurus Space is then further divided into Sectors, which typically cover seven million cubic light years equivalent a cube with sid...
Chaos
The forces of Chaos such as the mighty Chaos Space Marine Legions keep hidden lairs within Warp storms, notably the Eye of Terror. Warbands exist on ships hiding in the wilderness zones between Imperial sectors or on hidden bases.[2h] The Lost and the Damned can emerge from fallen Imperial forces to plague the Galaxy. Chaos Daemons exist in the Warp but are capable of invading realspace through means such as breaking through the tear in realities opened by the unprotected mind of a psyker, or...
Eldar
The Eldar, whose Empire once spanned the Galaxy, survive mostly on vast ships known as Craftworlds. A Craftworld contains Webway gates which connect to other Craftworlds or to hidden gates throughout the Galaxy, providing a means for their war parties or spacecraft to travel the Galaxy. A minority of Eldar also inhabit Exodite Worlds or Maiden Worlds, wander the Galaxy as Eldar Outcasts or Corsairs, or travel the Webway as part of the Harlequins.
Inter-stellar travel around the galaxy is dependent on Warp jumps, a form of faster-than-light travel by means of entering the warp, a parallel psychic dimension, and re-emerging to a new location in real space light years away from the starting position.[1b]
The distances between galaxies are so vast as to make inter-galactic travel unfeasible even with advanced warp jumps. Being thrown drastically off-course by a Warp storm can result in emerging outside of the galaxy, or stepping through an ancient portal of the Webway.[Needs Citation] The Imperium has no established presence outside the galaxy. Alth...
It appears to be inspired by the real life Milky Way galaxy, as it shares the same shape of a spiral and the same location of Earth (Terra) as the real Milky Way galaxy, as well as the same general configuration of planets and moons in the Solar/Sol system. Additionally, the real-life star Proxima Centauri has been referenced in in-universe materia...
