- Aslan Character Generation: Seven basic careers, plus six more derived from Citizens
- Careers include Space Service, Military Service, Wanderers, Management, and Outcasts. Additional careers include Pirates, Belters, Envoys, Flyers, Medics, and Scientists.
- Also included are details and modifications to standard systems to allow Aslan to be generated as Imperial citizens.
- Advanced Character Generation: Character and skill tables for Mercenary and High Guard (you must have the Mercenary and High Guard booklets to make full use of them).
- World Generation: Tables and rules for Aslan worlds, governments, bases, law and tech levels.
- Aslan Encounters: Patrons and random encounter lists for ventures into Aslan territory.
- Weapons: Aslan personal weapons defined and described
- Aslan Word Generation: Fast and easy generation of Aslan names and words - to add depth to any Aslan adventure
- The Aslan Heirate: Basic multi-sector map of Aslan territory, showing its relationship to the Imperium. Sectors are named in Aslan, with Imperial names where applicable.
- A Quest: One Aslan, accompanied by his family, has set off to find his brother's ihatei, his second son - the heir to their influential clan's power. The adventure takes him, his family, and ultimately a crew of human adventurers deep into Aslan territory, all the while pursued by assassins.
- More than a rousing adventure, this quest allows players and referee to actually participate in an alien culture, using the background and data provided to more effectively role-play with non-human characters.
Spinward of the Imperium, a race of ferocious carnivores has evolved intelligence and rules hundreds of star systems. They are the Aslan, interstellar neighbors of the Imperium. This warrior race has long been a mystery to the ordinary human, and now it is possible to learn more about their culture and society.
