Back cover summary: TALES FROM DEEP SPACE includes five ready-to-run adventures, twelve predesigned characters, detailed campaign background information, and a new Insystem Encounter Chart. From the mighty core Provinces of the Terran Empire to the alien and hostile reaches of the Frontier, space holds countless adventures for those bold enough to venture into the unknown. These and other adventures await you as you sail amongst the stars in DEEP SPACE: An alien force attacks a vital orbital laboratory, and the scientists must be rescued. On a routine Planetary and Racial Survey in the Frontier, you encounter a Xeno-sentient race with potentially devastating power. In an unsurveyed Sector, an undamaged and apparently lifeless vessel floats abandoned. Is it a fortune in salvage or the legendary Ghost Ship?
