The Latin seems quite wrong... e.g. "segmentum pacificus" should actually be "segmentum pacificum" [1] to keep genders correct. Was it the same in the books (which I don't know)?

This is awesome. It would be cool to see what books talk about each world when you click on them. Also to be able to search for books and see what worlds are talked about in them.

Love it! References to the books would be awesome, since they basically hold the Warhammer 40k "history"

Something's off with the performance when routes are enabled. Disabling them instantly makes everything super snappy.

Looks cool. Some of the paths get prematuraly clipped when they're still partially on the screen.

The text overviews for the planets really scream that they're generated by Abominable Intelligence, but I love the map itself.

Simply came here to note that this was fun and that Event Horizon is clearly WH40K deep canon.

Inquisitors have been ordered to find and terminate the machine which generated this slop. For The Emperor!

The performance is absolutely atrocious with default settings, but it's a nice project.
