It pretty much is Planejammer, or at least a good foundation for it. I'd also suggest looking at The Plane Below: Secrets of the Elemental Chaos, and taking whatever you find interesting to transplant to the Astral Sea (since it doesn't look like 5E's going to do anything with the Elemental Chaos, despite it being noted in the DMG).Here's a few interesting features that could be ripped from the Elemental Chaos and placed in the Astral Sea:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Dar el-Hariq: A former efreet outpost on a massive block of elemental earth tumbling through the plane.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Gloamnull: A drifting island village constantly beset by rain. Its inhabitants are secretly cultists of Dagon.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The Ninth Bastion: Originally called the Bastion of Law, this fortress-city is the realm of the knightly order known as the Heirs of the Lawbringer. It has survived eight massive onslaughts over the millenia, but still stands strong.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The Monastery of Vyc Zaleeth: This Githzerai monastery that holds an important font of power has been seized by a dragon and angelic allies who seek to ignite a war between the gods.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The Red Shoals of Dkar: The base of operations for a group of pirates whose sailing ships can travel from the Astral Sea to the seas of the Material Plane thanks to a mysterious patron imprisoned within the Red Shoals.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The Trackless House: The Trackless House evades easy location and winks out of existence for spans of time.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Temple of the Weeping Goddess: A ruined temple where a minor aspect of a goddess is trapped.</li> </ul>In 4E there were other vessels that could ply the Astral Sea than Spelljammers, which necessitated something to set those vessels apart. The solution they came up with is that while the inhabitants of various planes had flying vessels that only operated in those planes (Chaos Ships could only function in the Abyss or the Elemental Chaos, for example), Spelljammers possessed the ability to Plane Shift. This of course changes the status of Spelljammers from vessels for travel through space to especially valuable vessels that can travel the planes, as well (which, btw, is something the nautiloid in the opening cinematic of Baldur's Gate 3 does).</blockquote>
