What is on this site, and where it came from

Every map, 3D model, layout and line of code here was purpose-built for this site. No Games Workshop artwork, imagery, footage, animation, cover art, rules, game statistics or text has been copied or reproduced. All vessel and station models are original schematic interpretations built from written descriptions in the novels — no official model, illustration or image was traced, scanned, photographed or otherwise used as a source. No Games Workshop imagery or text has been uploaded to any generative AI system, and no AI-generated imagery appears anywhere on this site.

About the map

This map does not reproduce any official Games Workshop map. Positions are approximate syntheses drawn from published narrative descriptions and are arranged for on-screen legibility; they are not canonical and should not be used as a distance or navigation reference. Where sources conflict, the map favours legibility and flags uncertainty rather than claiming accuracy. Approximate placements are marked as such on the map itself.

Sources & thanks

A small number of factual data points (world names, classifications, cross-check coordinates) were verified against the community encyclopedia Lexicanum, whose content is licensed CC BY-NC. All prose on this site is original. This site is non-commercial and its Lexicanum-derived data points are used in keeping with that licence.

Inspired by Cartographia Imperialis (cartographia40k.com) by samig — an independent fan-made interactive Warhammer 40,000 galaxy chart. Our map is a separate build; go support the original at ko-fi.com/samig.
