So just as the title states. Im trying to find out the size of the known BT universe. I can guesstimate the size of the inner sphere based on maps, etc. but I hard number from source material would be more sufficient. Also, I have heard that clan space and the periphery outside of the inner sphere spans up to 10,000ly but I cannot find any sources stating such.

If anyone knows these values please let me know, but please also cite your sources. I cant use arbitrary numbers.

Thank you!

In case you are wondering, that last map of the Deep Periphery is stitched together from four maps (one per DP sector) recently published in Interstellar Players 3: Interstellar Expeditions.

The coreward DP map is based on older data about what is known to exist in the direction of the Clan Homeworlds, but the three other directions (Spinward, Rimward, and Anti-Spinward) were given their first published maps in ISP3.

I highly doubt that the IS region contains that many habitable planets though.

Most planets were made habitable through terraforming, though quite a number of terraformed worlds got destroyed during the 1st Succession War.
