Star Sector Atlas 1 comes with a 17" by 22" foldup abstract paper map of the Space Opera game universe. This map contains the locations referenced by all of the Star Sector Atlases and the Outworlds supplement. A 20 by 26 square grid is used to reference the locations on the map. The map is printed on one side.

 The Terran StarSector is the first of many StarSector Atlases for use with SPACE OPERA. Readers will note that this is a numbered atlas, which will denote atlases in this series. There will also be StarSector Atlases which are not numbered and are not from the same game universe. The un-numbered atlases will each be from the universe unique to the writer/designer of the atlas. Some stars that appear in this atlas may also appear in an un-numbered atlas as these would then be different campaigns and game universes.

SPACE OPERA is a game of large scope and it is playable in a variety of campaign styles. Thus, an atlas can be from any given campaign as there is no ONE true way to play SPACE OPERA, and each campaign will be different to meet the interests of the players in that campaign.

 Future numbered StarSector Atlases will outline the home sectors of major races and nationalities from the original SPACE OPERA universe. The fold-out Quadrant Chart will give readers an idea of what to expect as upcoming titles in this numbered series of atlases.
