Join the crew of the CSV Kepler as they visit strange new worlds, explore uncharted stars, and encounter lifeforms ranging from the marvelous to the terrifying in the continuation of their mission to catalog the aliens of the Verge! Heroes in the ALTERNITY game seek the thrill of encountering new alien creatures. Exploration of 2503, the second ALIEN COMPENDIUM book for the STAR*DRIVE setting, gives them that thrill--even if it's their last. This 96-page, full-color book includes more than 45 new alien species with detailed descriptions and illustrations. The book follows the progress of the survey vessel Kepler as it visits previously uncharted systems in the verge, then ventures into the Lightning Nebula. In these pages you'll encounter: More creatures from the depths of the planet Bluefall in the Aegis system. The gigantic spaceborne organisms that live in the Lightning Nebula. The artificially evolved denizens of the planet Fatehpur--and the nanites responsible. Creatures and aliens depicted in the STAR*DRIVE novels Zero Point and Two of Minds. Astonishing, terrifying, beautiful, or deadly, the creatures in this book can inject a fresh dose of excitement and wonder into any ALTERNITY game setting.
