I've been wondering for a while now about hyperdrives and the Star Wars Galaxy.
I remember a long time before the reset there was a general galactic map that had been edited to mark the various planets that were controlled by the factions here at SWFans. But I don't have access to that now, and I don't remember any distances being clarified on it.
So far, this is the most detailed and seemingly accurate map of the Star Wars galaxy I've found on the internet.

I thought it might be a good idea if there was one recognised map that everyone could refer to, so that we're all on the same page as to where everything is. I'm up for discussing this of course.
Also, I've been searching for any information on hyperdrives - specifically hyperdrive speeds. As the movies tell us, the Millenium Falcon can make 0.5 past lightspeed. But I really want to know what that has to do with travel times. So far I haven't found any information relating to how long it takes a particular hyperdrive class to travel X number of lightyears. But that information, together with the above map, would really put things in perspective.
Again, I'm up for discussing this in the event that an official or at least accepted source is unavailable. Maybe SWFans could come up with their own set of hyperdrive speeds. Anyone interested please reply. As I said, this whole issue has bugged me for a while now - I'm frustrated my searching has turned up so little what with so much info out there!
