From the publisher:

Adamant Entertainment continues our new line of support for any SF role-playing game with this installment of Star System. Our goal: to provide you with support for your space-opera campaigns, whether you play Saga Edition, d20 Future, Traveller, Serenity, or any other SF game.

In the tradition of the movie The Seven Samurai and its various homages and imitations, including The Magnificent Seven and the space comedy Battle Beyond the Stars, The Magnificent Starfarers honors the classic scenario of a small group of hardened adventurers (the PCs) hired by a community unable to defend themselves against a local threat.

As there are many different types of space opera campaigns, this installment of Star System offers three variations of a common core. This supplement begins with a discussion of the main elements of the archetypal adventure, with each of the three variations following. This is done not only to familiarize readers with the common story elements, but also to provide the GM a blueprint upon which to design his or her own variations.

Gamemasters and players are encouraged to download the free introduction to Star System, which explains the systemless terms we use in our descriptions, so that they are easily adaptable to any SF role-playing system.
