There's a big 'ol universe out there, and 5150: Known Space lets you explore it and build your own Nine Rings in the 5150 setting. In Known Space, you'll get to travel and map out your own expanded 5150 universe. Create your own Star Systems, planets, and cities to visit.

  • A Star System Map and 70 Planet Tiles used to map out the Nine Rings quickly and easily
  • An enhanced map of the 5150 'verse that organizes space into Nine Rings and Eight Sectors

  • Boarding combat rules that use the Ship Tile system that allows you to fight your way across custom ship maps
  • A 16 Encounter Mission involving the enigmatic Kabasu Aliens
  • A gaming environment where no two games ever play exactly alike

All this and much more!
