SFU
The
Starfinder Universe is a setting that focuses primarily on the environs of
Golarion, long after the time period of
Pathfinder. During the events considered in
Starfinder, the planet
Golarion has in fact vanished (an event referred to as "
The Gap") - and investigating the mystery of the disappearance is one of the major preoccupations of the
Starfinder Society.
The earliest concepts of the
Starfinder Universe antedate the game itself, and are found in the
Pathfinder supplement
Distant Worlds.
The
Starfinder Universe has several developed regions, including
Near Space,
The Vast,
The Drift, and, especially, the
Pact Worlds System (the solar system that formerly contained the forgotten planet
Golarion).
