What regions are unknown *do* change after all.

Drawing 3-d is hard 🙂

With the Star Forge as their starting ground they returned from the Unknown Regions, correct. 👆
Except the Republic doesn't know about the Star Forge and the loading screen appears before they know about it as well. The Unknown Regions are any and all space not charted by the Republic, or the Empire in the time of TOR. It's not exactly a specific place on the map.

Korriban and other Sith worlds are charted by the Republic.
That's how Droma Jr. and his waifu did the Great Hunt.
Fair enough.
You're completely and utterly missing the point of the thread though.
Vitiate's Empire was clearly expanding, conquering other worlds, etc. etc.
The writing that his Empire never crossed with any planets of Revan's Empire is terrible.
Especially considering planets like Malachor should be known to Vitiate as well.
And, like I already said, the fact that Vitiate's empire is literally contained within Revan's is stupid.
How is it bad writing? Point is, the Unknown Regions are uncharted and dangerous. These Empires are constantly at war with the Republic. One of them is indirectly being influenced by Vitiate. Why would he let them find his Empire? Why would he try to expand into Revan's Empire? Similarly, why would the Sith expand very far outside of these regions early on when there is the Stygian Caldera to deal with, which is made pretty clear on the atlas? It may seem kind of nonsensical to have it there, but it'd be a lot more nonsensical to have it anywhere else.

That said? You seem to be completely ignoring the fact that Revan found Vitiate's Sith Empire after the Mandalorian Wars and was well aware of its existence when constructing his own...
