1. Wildspace is made up of four things: planets, stars, crystal spheres, and everything in between those.
2. Whole universes with their own planes, material and otherwise, float in Wildspace in crystal spheres. Crystal Spheres hold entire campaign settings (for example: Middle Earth would be in one crystal sphere, Star Trek would be in another, etc.)
3.
A Spelljammer is any ship capable of space travel. The name comes from The Spelljammer, a giant manta ray-like ship the size of a moon. It is a bustling multi-layered city that gets more impoverished the lower you go.
4. Technology from the mysterious and ancient space-faring species known as the Makors can be found across many planets and even some crystal spheres. Mysterious creatures known as Keepers can sometimes be found wordlessly repairing and tending to their machines.
5. The Gwyndalin Federation is a fascistic and oppressive regime that wants to be the biggest kingdom in all of Realmspace. It'll have to compete against the xenophobic zealotry of the Holy Elven Empire and the militaristic Lunari Union.
6. Thousands of years ago, a mysterious 600-plus year long gap of memories and historical records affected seemingly every planet and species in Wildspace in an event known as The Gap. The Starfinder Society has tasked themselves with uncovering as many details about The Gap as possible.
Wildspace... the Final Frontier...
What was once a chaotic, colorful mess of world-spheres and phlog-fog has become a domesticated, organized structure under the mighty boot of the Gwyndalin Federation. New worlds were formed, trade routes were established, and life was relatively peaceful - so long as you weren’t an undesirable. The strange, the elderly, the people left in the cracks of society. All seen as a burden on the Empire and its budget. Some people didn’t take a liking to that. Some of them even tried to do something about it.
8 years ago, a civil war blew open in the far reaches of the Empire. The Rebels wanted autonomy. Freedom from the oppressive boot of the Empire. The Empire demanded complete and total surrender. The war was short and bloody. The Rebels lost, and the Empire stretched their iron gauntlet out just a little further in celebration.
You are a member of a small but respectable crew aboard a ship you’ll get to name as Players of this campaign. What you do is up to you, but making a living outside the Empire’s hands often means a lot of work with shady individuals.
