Continuity

As depicted in Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens, the firing of the Starkiller Base superlaser destroyed the five planets of the Hosnian system;^[5] however, the Galactic Atlas's entry for Starkiller Base instead states that the weapon's firing destroyed "five star systems".^[6]

On page 18, within the Dathomir spread, at the top information box, the Quelii sector is misspelled as the "Qelii sector".^[6]

The Zakuul empire conundrum

"to answer your question, the Atlas is supposed to be canon, 'Zakuul' isn't."

―Emil Fortune^[7]

The December 2016 Polish edition of Star Wars: Galactic Atlas includes an entry for the Empire of Zakuul, placing it in the far west of the galaxy and in the Unknown Regions. The Zakuulan empire is a Star Wars Legends entity that was first mentioned in 2015 on swtor.com for the expansion Knights of the Fallen Empire of the BioWare video game Star Wars: The Old Republic.^[8] The author of Galactic Atlas, Emil Fortune, stated that he did not know why or how Zakuul crept into the Polish translation of the reference book.^[9] Nonetheless, he stated that the world was not supposed to be canonical.^[7] A system bearing the same name was introduced into canon by the Star Systems of the Galaxy appendix, with the system having a similar placement in the far west of the galaxy.^[10]
