From publisher blurb: The Fifth Race is the first story expansion for Era: The Consortium, and brings the continuation of the epic story begun in the Core Rulebook. This expansion brings the next 4 years of Consortium history, from 447 to 450 CE, to life. With that comes a new playable alien race, the Pliangrathilon, and a huge amount of new equipment! With this expansion, any player can begin at level 1 as a Pliangrathilon, craft enhancements onto their weapons and equipment, install new Implants and experience another dimension to the game!
