Description

Firefly Complete and Official Map of the Verse Folded:

Two years in the making, the Firefly Serenity Complete and Official Map of the Verse is the first comprehensive guide to the worlds of Joss Whedon's Firefly and Serenity. The map, which is available in a Z-folded packet for easy reference or rolled for framing and display, documents the location, relative sizes and names of the 215 terraformed worlds and moons, seven gas giants, seven protostars and five distinct star systems that comprise the star cluster known as The Verse. Literally thousand of pieces of information are contained in this stunningly beautiful design by Serenity Graphic Designer Geoffrey Mandel. It is as much a work of art as it is a visual guide of unparalleled detail. So much detail, in fact, the map encompasses both sides of the heavy cover stock paper it's printed on. Dozens of experts of every stripe (science, design, production) started with the available reference from the series and movie and spent months building out from there. A schematic of the structure of the Verse was formed and then tested against storylines and other sources of continuity including the Dark Horse Serenity comics, the Serenity Role Playing Game and even some fan-generated fiction. Once the Verse model was established, tested, modified, retested, modified again, and ultimately approved, designer Mandel took row upon row of facts and figures and turned them into art. He transformed reams of information on suns, stellar classes, protosuns, planets, planetary masses, environments, relative distances and positions, trade routes, even secret (and not-so-secret) Alliance installations into something any Browncoat would be proud to display in their home. 38-inches wide by 25-inches high. Printed on both sides. Ages 15 and up.
