Millennia in the past, an advanced civilization piloting a Spelljammer made a fateful landing in Chult. Unbeknownst to them, the shrewd Plats clan of goblins stowed away on the vessel, and cunningly took control. Their newfound dominion proved ephemeral, as their piloting led to an abrupt collision with the petrified remains of an ancient astral spider.
The spider's colossal corpse harboured its own gravity plane and a steady supply of breathable air. For centuries, the goblins toiled amid the remains of the crashed spelljammer, slowly gaining understanding of the magical technology. The whole time though the essence of the astral sea brought about profound changes, both physical and magical.
Adapted to the peculiar environment of their starlit home, Space Goblins honed skills vital for surviving the void. Their innate affinity for magic and technology facilitated the crafting of star faring vessels and adaptation to the harsh conditions of vacuum and radiation.
Space Goblins are known across the Astral Sea for their inquisitiveness and resourcefulness. Their exceptional navigational expertise and prowess with magical helms stand as a testament to their astral origins. Their society has taken root within asteroids, on moons, and aboard spelljamming ships.
