T ~ B universe contains m w t l e ~ ~ billions of stars, around which orbit a nearly limitless number of plan- The Stargate Netwark has at least 1.9 billion po~sibda address^^, WWI increases exponentialb if YOU indude the use of &e eigh?h or the ninth chevron. The nsr)nbers a r e vast, mapproachabk, merwhdming. From ihe vast m p k s of the System L O ~ S i o the Asgar&’ protected planets, from ancient human culturm scattered across the galaxy to ahen plawts h o u a be ing who have never befme laid eyes OD our specie% the potential for further discovery dwarfs &he

imagination. To date? the SM: has visited just a few thousand of

these vmrlds. Those seen on the Stargate SEI TV show numbet around tw hundred, and even they have &n seven pars to find and catalogue. It wiil take many Lifetimes to Fully explore the Stargate Network, and many more to sift through the wealth of cdtural and scientific knowledge brought back In cosmic terms, we’ve barely scratched the surface. Our task i s nearly endIess, and the benefits to our little world have only begun @ be cahlated.

As enticing as the rewards are, however, the risk is equally’h-ge. Each new address on the gate holds new dangem whether it be an expansionist Coa’uld, a new foe wishing subjugate kiri4-1 to his will, an alien life- form threatening to wipe us out, or just a new disease for which we cannot possibly prepare. The more worlds we visif the greater the chance of encountering some terrifying new threat, striking at us as easily as stepping through a door.

Nor are such dangers and opportunities limited to the Stargate Network alone. The Goa’uld, Asgard, and many &er races possess interstellar spacecraft, able to travel between the stars without having to dial out through the gate. With the christening of the Prome-, Earth joined the space race in earnest, increasing our ability to explore the universe beyond o w solar system.

Whether by a wormhole to another planet or a faster-than-light engine propelling us through the void, the vast expanse beckons to us with all its wonders and all its threats. Fint Step is a sourcebook for those undiscovered portions of the galaxy - planets and adventures which have not yet been seen by the SGC. It includes both worlds accessible through the Stargate and guidelines for space-bound missions, along with vehicle rules and a system for running chases in the Stargaw universe.

Chapter One contains details on ten new planets: Goa’uld throne worlds. forgotten Nari colonies, a globe- spanning artificial intelligence and other wonders ready fw your SG team. Each entry covers the world‘s history and civilization, pertinent locations, full

c coverage of important NPCs (including statistics), and a set of plot hooks geared towards basing various SGC missions around it.

Chapter Twa contains a series of general guidelines concerning missions in outer space. Space-bound midons include unique aspects which difFer h n l standard misssi6ns through the Stargate; tips for properly handling them are covered here. The chapter also contains a series of GM aids, including details on various specid space propnu , a Tok‘ra NPC for use as a pilot, a history of -rem Lord fleets, and hbnnation on the Goa’uId Rah. creator of the ha’tak pyramid ships.

Chapter Three contabs the usud assortment of new rules: specialties. classes, equipment, and other specifics used in conjunction with the first two chapters. A entirely new c h s of feat - the chase fear - is bduded, along with newhuman templates for each of the planets in Chapter h e .

Chapter Four is a comprrehensive guide to Stargate vehicles, EWq canceivahle farm of travel, from camels and horse carts to Asgad motherships and Coa’uld ha’taks, are included, aleng with details on special features, masterwork modifications, and expanded vehicte sizes to accommodate the vast scale of interplanetary ships. Most significantly, this chapter contains the longawaited Stargate chase rules, allowing you to run breathless pursuits across alien worlds m deep in the depths of outer space. The chapter concludes with a master vehicle cbart, providing stats for a wealth of vehicle types, as well as a list of chase manewers and other important pieces of information

As always, the rutes ctmtained herein are designed under the Spycmfidao system and m% fully compatible with both previous Stargate books and with other sourcebooks in the Spycraft he.

The Stargate is a path to a million possible adventures, each one more amazing than the last. This book holds the key to a handful of them: eager first steps in a potentially endless campaign. Enjoy them, but watch yourself; the dangers they contain are not For the faint of hea rt...

Eldeore contains six major landmasses ranging in size from Australia to Eurasia. The planet has more the usual amount of tectonic plates, and mountainous regions dominate the areas near the coasts. helps contribute to the drier-than-normal overall climate, aided by the fact that only about half of the

net’s surface is covered in water. Despite all that, the planet’s tectonic activity has almost completely pped (due to the natives’ technoIogical advances). There is little or no continental drift, and voicanoes d earthquakes are almost unheard of. The planet is coveredin well-adapted vegetation, some of which appear quite alien. strange plants with
