Meta-history & Background (Dossier)[edit]
The Atlas of the Imperium (Sometimes abbreviated as AotI or AOTI) is a Traveller RPG book containing astrographic data for use in a Traveller adventure campaign.
It should be noted that there is sometimes a degree of confusion between to AotI and Second Survey.
- Second Survey:' (...as defined in Classic Traveller Supplement 11: Library Data (N-Z)) covers only those parts of Charted Space occupied by the Third Imperium.
- AotI: AotI provides maps for many sectors outside of the Third Imperium; therefore, AotI is not Second Survey.
T5 Second Survey: As of 2008, there is an on-going project for the new version of Traveller (T5) which will result in a sourcebook (...possibly called "Second Survey" or "T5 Third Survey"). This project and book will produce the definitive Second Survey, but it will still only cover the areas of Charted Space occupied by the Third Imperium.
