It is a murder mystery adventure set on Striving, a megaplex city on the planet of the machines known as Aballon. The boxed set comes with six pre-generated characters, one for each class from the Starfinder Player Core rulebook, as well as articles about Aballon and a double-sided tactical Starfinder Flip-Mat featuring key locations. The boxed set also has creature stat blocks, NPC descriptions, and a new playable alien ancestry, Khizars.

It will retail for $39.99.
