One of the many reasons why there is substantually more information on the S.G.C. & the Stargate program than there is on the Atlantis base is two-fold :
1. The Stargate Program, the S.G.C. & the Cheyenne Mountain Complex have all been established for many years nows, both on T.V. & in the offical STARGATE SG-1 ROLEPLAYING GAME core manual.
Atlantis, on the other hand, has no such errata or suppliments devoted to it (AEG's liscence to produce offical SG SG-1 RPG products was revoked following MGM's take-over by Sony Corp & has yet to be renewed), & the T.V. series of the same name - whilst firmly established as an entity in it's own right - is still very much in it's formative years; with much left yet to reveal in terms of the Pegasus Galaxy Atlantis, the Wraith, etc.
2. Not much is known about the exact functionings, layout/construction &/or full workings of Atlantis. We know it was constructed by the Ancients, & we know some of it's secerts & have even managed to discipher some of the Ancient databse contained on-base; but Atlantis & the Ancients do not give up their secerts willingly nor easily; & westill have many years left ahead of us yet before we can fully understand & appericate the marvel that is Atlantis (& we may never fully understand what the Ancients had in store for Atlantis).
Some of the information presented in the Atlantis guide is fact, some is spectulation, & some is the product of our own imaginings. As more & more information is gleened & more time passes, we shalladdtowhat we know of Atlantis here at STARGATE : The RPG. Until then, we shall all have to wait, watch & learn as the story of Atlantis unfolds. . .
