It was originally made for the Alternity system and then the D20 Future system. I didn't like the Alternity system, or the D20 Future classes, but if you use Star Wars SAGA rules and classes (Star*Drive classes can match up pretty well) it works really well. The best campaign setting book for Star*Drive is still the one written for the Alternity system (not the material in the D20 Future book), and it's still available as a pdf download (on ENWorld store/publishing or RPGNow). The book is mostly fluff, with very little crunch, so it's really good for describing the setting without a lot of system mechanics you won't use. The setting is really awesome.  Mankind has spread out into space, colonizing an area 1,000 light years across. We have found numerous aliens, most non-sentient or borderline sentient, but a few are sentient and have become allies and members of this spacefaring society. Mankind is divided up into Stellar Nations, some politically and socially centered, others based on corporate run nations, but all encompassing hundreds of worlds. These nations have just come to peace after a hundred years of war. The setting is mostly centerd in an area called The Verge, a partially explored and colonized area of space about 100 light years from civilized space. A part of space cut off from civilized space for the majority of the last war. Mankinds explorations in the Verge are beginning to bring them into conflict with an unknown alien threat. It's a very well fleshed out setting with good (and relatively realistic) treatments of future technology, and in depth descriptions of each Stellar Nation, their histories, and how they interact with eachother. It didn't seem to get much traction when it was first released, but I think that was mostly due to the Alternity system itself not garnering a large following (although there are people who still use the Alternity system and it's settings Star*Drive and Dark*Matter, with a few fan sites on the internet with supplemental material and support). For some extra flavor, there were a few novels written for the setting which were pretty good. P.S.: Dark*Matter was a modern day setting with a premise made up of X-Files meets Call of Cthulu.    Gaahhh! Exile posted first while I was writing the above novel.</blockquote>
