Starfinder Attack of the Swarm New Starfinder AP

Fate of the Fifth is the first part of the Attack of the Swarm adventure path from Paizo. The interstellar insectile threat known as the Swarm is driven by nothing but the desire to consume and expand. But when they strike at the peaceful Suskillon system in the Vast, their behavior indicates they have a secondary motive beyond simple destruction. Can the heroes survive the invasion and discover the reason behind the Swarm's attack on their home system? Or will Suskillon fall like so many others?

​

Suskillon Needs You!

As the ever-ravenous threat of the insectile Swarm surges across another system in the Vast, the heroes are part of the defense effort. They must fight back against waves of foes and rescue civilians, including a shirren priest of Hylax whose temple seems to be of particular interest to the invaders. By relying on their wits—and each other—the heroes just might survive the Swarm onslaught.

This volume of Starfinder Adventure Path begins the Attack of the Swarm! Adventure Path and includes:

• "Fate of the Fifth," a Starfinder adventure for 1st-level characters, by Patrick Brennan.
• A guide for players of this Adventure Path, including two military themes and a selection of helpful gear, by Patrick Brennan.
• An examination of the nigh-unstoppable force known as the Swarm, by Lacy Pellazar.
• An archive of alien creatures, including a shapechanging swarm of nanobots and several Swarm creatures, by Patrick Brennan, James Case, and Adrian Ng.
• Statistics and deck plans for a luxury observation vehicle, plus a glimpse at the bucolic world of Suskillon before it is invaded, by Patrick Brennan.

Attack of the Swarm is coming on Wednesday. The Last Refuge comes out September 18th. Huskworld is on October 16th.

And another AP based around killing things in the middle of nowhere...
I wish they would use the Pact World setting they created more. Even the introduction AP mostly lets you walk around in the wilderness, far away from civilization.
But that may be for the best, the third AP had a section in a big city and the result was a dungeon crawl through an office building with no repercussions or interruptions by the police or other authorities in the city.
