Ashakspace by Dylan Bockelman – A dying star encased in metal and glass; a planet with lush plants and exotic creatures is in its path of potential destruction. The Ezaloff Corporation’s hands reach for profit as the system starts to fall.

Chaispace by Nick Stefanski – A primary addictive export, Dragonleaf Tea. This potent tea is used by Tasseomancers — wizards with considerable political power in the system.

Crimsonspace by Leo Andrade – A Wildspace system stuck on repeat in the final days of its star’s life, as the local archmages work tirelessly to save it, unbeknownst to the other inhabitants.

Kiasaspace by Kaleton Martinson – Tendrils of cosmic dust leaking from the remains of the Manufactured Sun, washing over hostile and empty worlds and honeycombed asteroids alike.

Lepidopspace by Michelle Churchill – A Wildspace system known for attracting astral butterflies, who migrate to the system’s star — The Guide— when it reaches its peak intensity.

Nidumspace by Marco A Torres – Divine energy of creatures in their last moments from a system brimming with life fuel the star of this system, a thinned veil between life and death are rumored to be hidden in the asteroid belt.

Portentspace by Erin Tierney – A mix of the divine and demonic, this system is a mixing pot of burgeoning empires that orbit a light-emitting divine construct—The Eschaton.

Rimespace by Frederic Walker – The comet “The Wandering Rime” can move through other systems, planetary bodies are dragged to an icy doom in the comet’s tail. A prison hulk spelljammer holds the most dangerous prisoners of ten-dozen systems.

Ringspace by Sean Vas Terra – Remnants of an illithid construction orbit in a ring around a dull red dwarf star being drained slowly by an enormous construct known as The Parasite.

Settispace by StickyHunter – A hub for communications, this system orbits an irregular pulsar star that holds a secret message. A destroyed planet’s core rings like a bell, and denizens mainly live on newly formed rings of a gas giant.

Tempestspace by Jesse Byrd – A raging lightning storm cracks across the system, a city ship known as “Stormstride” sails in a fight against demonic raiding pirates.

Thornspace by Morten Greis –  A Wildspace torn apart to asteroids lined with astral-infused jade and vast oceans. A war wages between the former inhabitants of the system's planets, riding on giant winged insects.

Veilspace by Jordan Carmichael – A dead god lies in pieces, the surviving angels dare not speak of why. Many come to the system in search of lost relics of exceptional power.

Wellspace by Aaryan Balu – A wormhole holds several bodies and vast riches in its pull, spacetime itself warping the closer you get. Few have dared venture deep into the system, those who have scarcely survive.

Xunderspace by Matthew Campbell – In the light of a cold dwarf star lie ginormous abandoned shipyards. A few rich clients still visit for bespoke ships, while pirates lurk at the fringes of the system.

Also included are rules for NPCs and monsters, including new foes like the Ancient Pulsar Dragon, Tasseomancers, Astral Butterflies, and Ceatuns. Each Wildspace system comes with custom hand drawn art, including art of the system's denizens.
