Blast off into Starfinder Second Edition with a star chart of the galaxy and a thrilling tour of adventuring locations across the vastness of interstellar space! The Starfinder Galaxy Guide is a 176-page primer designed for new and experienced players that explores popular types of science fantasy campaigns―galactic exploration, horror, war-torn space opera, and more―giving GMs and players tools for playing out those types of stories in their Starfinder game. The Galaxy Guide also introduces several powerful galactic factions as potential friends or foes, including AbadarCorp’s holy corporate empire, the infernal orders of the Hellknights, and the world-preserving Xenowardens. Each major faction includes a new archetype players can use to create a character with ties to that faction. The galactic tour ends with a database of playable alien ancestries including a telepathic mega-brain with an atrophied body (contemplative), a friendly shapeshifter with a secretly bizarre true form (astrazoan), and more!
The pocket edition presents the same contents as the standard edition in a smaller sized softcover for a lower price and better portability.
The Starfinder Galaxy Guide includes:
- A double-sided map featuring the Starfinder galaxy and the Pact Worlds system.
- Six new playable alien ancestries: astrazoan, contemplative, dragonkin, kalo, sarcesian, and vlaka.
- Six new archetypes related to powerful galactic factions.
- Exciting new lore introducing new gods, current events, and important hotspots in the Starfinder setting!
