Quantum Mechanix Inc. (QMx), a privately held developer of licensed, high-quality “recovered artifacts” from popular entertainment franchises, is now competing for space on your coffee table with the Official Serenity Blueprints Reference Pack – detailing the design, layout, systems and history of the famed renegade ship Serenity and the Firefly-class transport.

The Official Serenity Blueprints Reference Pack is the sequel to the sold-out limited-edition Serenity Blueprints set introduced in Spring 2007. An overwhelmingly positive response from the Browncoat community prompted QMx and the blueprints’ creators – Geoffrey Mandel and Tim Earls – to reissue the blueprints in this handy reference format.

But QMx didn’t stop there. The hefty Reference Pack contains 23 new pages of blueprints, specifications and recovered documents unearthed by ‘Verse historians, comprising the most complete set of documentation on the development of the Firefly-class transport ever assembled.

Each Pack offers 33 12″ x 16″ full-color pages documenting the design, systems and layout of Serenity, plus the Series 1, 2 and 4 Firefly-class designs (Serenity is a Series 3 Firefly).

In addition to 10 pages focused on Serenity herself, designed by Mr. Mandel (Serenity graphics designer) and Mr. Earls (illustrator for Firefly and set designer for Serenity), you also get:

· Full-page blueprints of Serenity’s Flying Mule and Inara Sara’s Shuttle.
· One page of all of Serenity’s builders’ plaques.
· One page of warning labels and other signage.
· Four pages with all the bridge computer screens.
· One page with all the door designs on the boat and what they signify.

But that’s not all. Section 2 of the Reference Pack includes:

· A copy of the confidential Allied Spacecraft Corp. memo outlining the development and introduction plan for the Series 1 Firefly.
· A transcript from the popular do-it-yourself ship maintenance vidfeed, Boost Your Boat.
· One page from the yard log of Austin’s Salvage outlining the events that transpired with the arrival of the Independents Military Gunboat Cerberus.
· The top-secret engineering blue book entry on the amazing new Series 4 Firefly, code-named Kestral.

To top it off, the Reference Pack includes an introduction by the legendary author of Ender’s Game Orson Scott Card.

The Official Serenity Blueprints Reference Pack is the definitive resource for any Browncoat interested in the details of Serenity, the shuttles, the mule or the history of the Firefly design. These blueprints are the culmination of many months of work verifying every aspect of Serenity, distilled from hundreds of set photos, architectural drawings, CGI files and volumes of background material used to produce Serenity the movie. They represent the only official and complete documentation on Serenity and the Firefly-class transport designs, revealing details not seen in the movie or TV show or in any other previously published source material.

The Official Serenity Blueprints Reference Pack will go on sale November 16, 2007, at 10 p.m. EST for $29.95.
