  A Grand 
Array of Detailed 
WORLDS! 
    I could have given you every fine detail 
of one big world, but why stop there? After all, this is an astroscape, a solar 
system that can have many planets and many moons. So I've given them to you. 
    There are 17 planets in Astroscape Zero. Of 
    the many moons orbiting those planets, 54 are fully detailed (with dozens 
    more in less detail). That doesn’t even count the Asterband (the asteroid 
    band), the Radannulus (a band of comets), an asteroid ring around one world, 
    a tubular artificial moon around another, and many other features. All in 
    all, there are 77 worlds in the astroscape that are all fully detailed for 
    game play. World descriptions include details about their atmospheres, 
    geographies, weather, native life, government, colonies, and everyday life. 
    Just in case you missed that: Yeah, 77 worlds. Really. 
ARCHWAYS & SPACE 
VESSELS 
And don't worry; you can travel 
between them a number of ways. Most worlds have Archways, ancient constructs 
that enable portals to open between worlds. Plus, there are magically enabled 
space vessels that let you travel between the worlds the old-fashioned way, if 
you don't have access to the Archways (they're under IPL control, after all, and 
they aren't found just anywhere). And there are occasionally techstuff space 
vessels that are found, which might be mastered to allow travel without magic. 
MAGIC 
Of course, when there aren't any 
Archways handy, and no space vessels of the enchanted or techstuff types, 
there's always a wizard handy who might be able to open a portal or teleport you 
across the worlds.
