The mineral-rich planet Benet III served as a place of industry, a base for military forces and as a home to a hearty, stubborn populace--a people who survived the Succession Wars, the FedCom Civil War and the Jihad, only to all but wiped out by the fickle planet itself. In Touring the Stars: Benet III, players learn about the planet's constant volcanic and seismic activity, as well as the infamous "Death Mists" that eventually led to the disastrous end of Benet III.
Touring the Stars volumes consist of a color cover depicting an orbital view of the subject planet, a short history section, a small number of RPG tracks tailored to the planet, a rules annex detailing optional rules for games and scenarios set on the planet, a color world map and a hexed Battleforce 2 map.
