The fast-paced combat system provides for realistic¸ exciting¸ and potentially deadly encounters. Journey to the Sleeper Worlds¸ Earth's first colonies and sometimes enemies.

Follow the Sher'tazi as they make their pilgrimages through life¸ never knowing where it will lead or end.
Risk everything and confront your destiny in Worlds Beyond.

BRETT'S EDITORIAL
I don't remember seeing this title back in the day¸ but upon finding a copy years later¸ I fell in love with the alien species and concept. The old school¸ percentage-based rules make gameplay pretty easy. The world¸ civilization¸ and starship creation rules are not overly complicated¸ yet technical enough to add a little flavor. The adventure in the back is perfect for getting a group together and keeping them together at the end for future stories. To me¸ it's just the right amount of detail to remember important info. I would call it the midway point between HardNova 2 and Shatterzone.
