Hello Heroes! We're currently experiencing a small glitch in the Hero website that shows all items as being free when you click on their listings. Unfortunately we're not having that good of a sale at the moment, and you will see the actual prices and be charged for products when you check out with them. We're working on getting this fixed as fast as possible, thank you all for your patience.

An eight page system agnostic article, the section of interstellar space described in The Void can be used in just about any science fiction setting you desire. Simply make whatever edits you need to allow it to fit into galaxies far, far away, millennia-old human empires, or unexplored sectors of space. You could even rework The Void into something far smaller — such as an oceanic region where things are very, very strange, or the site of a magical incident gone awry. In an event, certain portions of the setting are left open-ended, to enable you to better customize The Void for your own use. So make The Void your own, and do with it what you will.
