[QUOTE="Steampunkette, post: 9337398, member: 6796468"] To expand on it a bit: The VRC adds in all the Sci-Fi stuff. Starships, Cybernetics, Psionics, Laser Swords, Etc. It has some new heritages that are various alien standards and new takes as well. You can run a purely sci-fi game right out of the book. But. Just like the A5e core books there is no setting. You don't get a series of corporation names like Weyland-Yutani or Cyberdyne Systems or anything. There's no "This is Earth with the serial number filed off for Star Trek Purposes" type material. It's -just- the systems to run the game. You could take the A5e core rules, plus the VRC rules, and apply them to the Starfinder campaign setting for an A5e Starfinder game. Or you could use Cyberpunk 2077's setting. Or Shadowrun. Or Firefly and Star Wars and Star Trek and More. You want a Sci-Fantasy game of Farscape? This is how you get a Sci-Fantasy game of Farscape.
