coverage of important NPCs (includingstatistics), and
a set of plot hooks geared towards basing various SGC
file
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 p r o p n u , 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 canceivahlefarm 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

culturm scattered across the galaxy to ahen plawts
h o u a b e i n g 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 t

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 kiri4-1to his will, an alien lifeform 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-lightengine propelling us through the void,
the vast expanse beckons to us with all its wonders and
all its threats. Fint S t e p 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 globespanning artificial intelligence and other wonders
