From the publisher:

With a spaceship, you realize the galaxy is a pretty big place . . . and it isn't as empty as some might want it. In this 128-page black-and-white volume, you'll meet all sorts of the universe's denizens, with unintelligent creatures wielding strange powers, bizarre humanoid cultures who might be allies or enemies, and massively powerful threats like hive-minded parasites and energy constructs who could prove the downfall of humanity.
