I just think it's neat.

A hobby dev built a free, 3D galaxy map for Warhammer 40K that loads like lightning in your browser

The Cartographia Imperialis is a free, 3D galaxy map of the Warhammer 40K Milky Way that can be explored in your web browser. Created by Sami Gashi, the map offers the same stunning visuals as Mass Effect's take on a galactic map, allowing users to pan, rotate, and zoom around the cosmos. By clicking on planets or regions, players can access concise lore entries, some of which capture the essence of the Warhammer 40K universe, such as the entry for Jouran hive world: "Its dossier is a reminder that strategic maps hide ordinary misery behind a clean point of light, Jouran's value lies in quotas met, bodies counted, and local authorities willing to preserve output by any sanctioned means."

Despite the lack of a mention of the Koronus Expanse, the map's lightweight design and lack of ads make it a welcome addition to any Warhammer 40K enthusiast's browsing experience. Gashi has expressed interest in expanding their work to other fictional worlds, and there are plenty of other impressive, open-hearted offerings on the internet to explore.
