This map is great. I really felt stupid paying $30 for a map of a fictional place, but I was going to run a Firefly role playing game based off a Star Wars system and I needed a good clear map of the Verse to do it. This is marvelous. It has tons of details. A couple of things I wish it had are travel times. I'd love to know how long it takes to get from Persphone to Osiris, but I know Joss Whedon was pretty vague on this, so I can't blame the makers of the map. I'd also love to have populations for each of the planets and moons. My players keep asking and I just have to make up numbers. Again, Joss Whedon never gave the information so I don't blame them for not having it. It does have population information on the whole verse and each of the 5 stars.

This poster is made of very thick high quality paper (I'd guess approximately 67lb. cover stock). I was very impressed when I opened the package and found what quality the paper is. One side shows the verse in overview. It shows the 5 stars, all protostars, and the planets and their orbits, but no moons. There is a grid overlay that gives some idea of distance, but it's at an awkward angle and too large to be much use. The other side shows the relative size of all the suns, protostars, planets, and moons. It includes Sol, Earth-that-was, and Luna for reference. The grouping makes it clear which moons orbit which planets. Both sides use color coded text to indicate which planets/moons are inhabited, uninhabitable, or restricted, etc. I've done a lot of research on the inhabited planets and moons for the game, and I've found 1 moon is missing. In the episode Out of Gas, the captain of salvage ship that comes to "help" Mal, says he is coming from Ita, a moon of Whittier. Whittier is on the map, but there is no Ita.

I found some interesting information looking at the map. Shinon, the home planet of Companion's guild, for example, has 3 moons, Airen, Xiaojie, and Xiansheng. These are Chinese for lover(or wife), Miss, and Mr. respectively.

The review has me give star ratings to 4 different things, and considers this a toy. I'm not sure if just the overall will show, or if some average of them shows, but I gave fun, durability, and overall 5 stars. (This map is on paper, but it's on very durable paper.) The 4th question was about the educational value of the toy. There is tons of information on this, but I only gave it 3 stars for educational, since it is a fictional map. Were this a map of a real place of this detail and quality I'd have given it 5 stars and it would have deserved 7. I was truly impressed, by how much information they did include, and how they managed to include it without making the map feel cluttered or difficult to read.

Serenity does not have the Twelve Colonies of Kobol, Battlestar Galactica does. I'm not sure what the proper poster is supposed to look like, but it's not Kobol!

5.0 out of 5 stars So pretty!, December 3, 2010

I run a Serenity campaign and this map is a win for me. Very beautiful! I've put it in a double sided glass frame so I can see it protected and displayed. Very nicely made!
