Volume One presents additional options and depth to the actual ships and vessels travelers use for getting from place to place in Wildspace. Ships and the helms providing flight almost become characters and members of the party. Each carries a name, features unique modifications, carries burdens of limitations, and serves roles during conflict. This volume details how characters utilize their vessels as well as how players direct their ships during combat encounters.
This supplement expands on the ideas and rules presented in the Fifth Edition Spelljammer: Adventures in Space. The classic Spelljammer line from 2nd Edition Advanced Dungeons & Dragons serves as inspiration for some portions, but familiarity with those classic sources is not required to use this supplement.
