Eclipse: Second Dawn for the Galaxy – Warped Universe
A Warp Sector variant that provides tiles to form a smaller, isolated play area within the galactic map. Players use the supplied tiles to build one Warp Sector, creating a compact region that changes movement and expansion options. The variant supports adjusted player counts and map sizes: it aims for tighter play or improved balance in certain player counts by replacing standard sectors with the Warp Sector layout.

Rules questions
Answered from the rulebook by Ludoya's rules assistant.
What does the Warped Universe expansion change?
It provides alternative board layouts, including a more balanced setup for 5 players and, with the Expanded Galaxy expansion, for 8 players. Multiple copies can be combined for tighter, more interactive 2-, 3-, or 4-player games, or a more balanced 7-player game with Expanded Galaxy (p. 1).
Which side of the Double Hex tiles do I use for a Large Warp Sector?
Use the black sides; together, they form one Large Warp Sector. Arrange the tiles according to their Position Diagrams, with those diagrams facing toward the GCDS (p. 1).
How do I set up a Small Warp Sector?
Use the tiles with their red sides faceup, placing and orienting them as shown in the Starting Layout for your player count. Small Warp Sectors can be used alone or alongside Large Warp Sectors (p. 2).
Do we use Guardian Sectors with this expansion?
No. Guardian Sectors are not used with the Warped Universe expansion (p. 1).
Can I use more than one copy of Warped Universe?
Yes. Multiple copies can create tighter, more interactive 2-, 3-, and 4-player layouts, or a more balanced 7-player layout when used with Expanded Galaxy (p. 1).
