Thousand Suns: Five Stars

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Selected Option:

A Sector on the Frontier.

On the far reaches of the Thousand Suns lies the Marches sector of Kvin Steloj. Consisting of twenty worlds, the sector is home to the alien species known as the Chabuli, whose territories the expanding Terrans annexed by force. In the century since, Kvin Steloj has become a vital center of colonization, commerce, and exploration—much to the chagrin of the conquered Chabuli, some of whom think the time is ripe to reclaim their worlds by any means necessary.

A Sector on the Brink.

Thousand Suns: Five Stars is a 35-page sourcebook describing the Kvin Steloj sector and its twenty worlds, as well as the alien Chabuli. Also included is a scenario set on the Chabuli homeworld that can serve either as a self-contained adventure or as the starting point for an entire campaign within this frontier sector.

Just received my copy. I like the digest-sized book, which I assume is an homage to the original Traveller and D&D formats. I didn't see anywhere in the description that these were the dimensions. Did I miss that? Has anyone played the adventure? Seems fairly thin at first glance.

Haha, Kvin Steloj (kvinn STAY-loi) is "five stars" in Esperanto.

Harry Harrison, mayherestinpeace, was fond of inserting Esperanto into his Stainless Steel Rat books. This is a nice touch.

Yes, I distinctly remember the passage where an expedition of spacers meet Jason DinAlt but don't speak the same language:
"Stragitskruml?"
[Jason draws a blank.]
"Fidlykreepi?"
"Hottentottenpottenbotten?"
One turned to another and says, "Ili ne parolas konatajn lingvojn." [They do not speak known languages.]
"That's more like it!" said Jason, responding in Esperanto...

(It turns out the spacers are on Earth but they are native-born Martians.)

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
