4. Slowing Ray. The targeted
creature must succeed on a DC 16
Dexterity saving throw. On a
failed save, the target's speed is
halved for 1 minute. In addition,
the creature can't take reactions,
and it can take either an action or
a bonus action on its turn, not
both. The creature can repeat the
saving throw at the end of each of
its turns, ending the effect on
itself on a success.
5. Enervation Ray. The targeted
creature must make a DC 16
Constitution saving throw, taking
36 (8d8) necrotic damage on a
failed save, or half as much
damage on a successful one.
6. Telekinetic Ray. If the target is

in any direction. It is restrained by
the ray's telekinetic grip until the
start of the beholder's next turn or
until the beholder is incapacitated.
If the target is an object
weighing 300 pounds or less that
isn't being worn or carried, it is
moved up to 30 ft. in any
direction. The beholder can also
exert fine control on objects with
this ray, such as manipulating a
simple tool or opening a door or a
container.
7. Sleep Ray. The targeted
creature must succeed on a DC 16
Wisdom saving throw or fall
asleep and remain unconscious for
1 minute. The target awakens if it
takes damage or another creature
takes an action to wake it. This
ray has no effect on constructs
and undead.
8. Petrification Ray. The targeted
creature must make a DC 16
Dexterity saving throw. On a
failed save, the creature begins to
turn to stone and is restrained. It
must repeat the saving throw at
the end of its next turn. On a
success, the effect ends. On a
failure, the creature is petrified
until freed by the greater
restoration spell or other magic.
9. Disintegration Ray. If the target
is a creature, it must succeed on a
DC 16 Dexterity saving throw or
take 45 (10d8) force damage. If
this damage reduces the creature
to 0 hit points, its body becomes a
pile of fine gray dust.
If the target is a Large or smaller
nonmagical object or creation of
magical force, it is disintegrated
without a saving throw. If the
target is a Huge or larger object or
creation of magical force, this ray
disintegrates a 10-foot cube of it.
10. Death Ray. The targeted
creature must succeed on a DC 16
Dexterity saving throw or take 55
(10d10) necrotic damage. The
target dies if the ray reduces it to
0 hit points.
Legendary Actions
The beholder can take 3
legendary actions, choosing from
the options below. Only one
legendary action option can be
used at a time, and only at the end
of another creature's turn. The
beholder regains spent legendary
actions at the start of its turn.
Eye Ray. The beholder uses

DWARF ARMY
The dwarf communities of
space are much more separate
than the monolithic elven nations,
but no less powerful and
extensive. While the elves regard
themselves (regardless of the truth
of the matter) as a single nation,
each dwarven citadel is an
independent nation of its own,
with its own king, princes, and
nobles. The master of a dwarven
community, whether it is mobile
or not, is called “the king of the
mountain” and his court “the
shining council”
The smallest of these dwarf
nations are the citadel ships,
powered by the creativity-tapping
forges, which ply the spaceways.
The dwarves devour their own
ships in building and carving and
then, once they have no more
space left for art or no more riches
to be tapped, they are abandoned,
their forges quenched and they
moved to a new ship.
When armored suits became
the custom mode of assault of
most spacefaring fleets, the
gigantic dwarven citadels became
easy targets for the highly
maneuverable suits and pods.
Thus the dwarves developed the
smaller tankheads with miniatu-
rized versions of their forges.
These tankheads were more like
rock-made pods made from
smaller asteroids carved into a
head of a dwarf. It is armed with
bombards, ribald, scorpions and
helmseekers to better challenge
the humanoid suits of the enemy.
A dwarf community or army
usually consist of a single
dwarven citadel accompanied by
several dwarf tankheads of Type 1
to 5 with enough hull points and
devastating weapons that even
small fleets try to avoid
confronting them. A bigger citadel
(above 700 HP) that is stationary
or just orbiting a planetary body
may have 1-3 mobile citadels and
a contingent of tankheads enough
to bring down a large armada.
Seldom do separate dwarf
communities band together for a
greater purpose except maybe in
times of all-out war like the last
two Unhuman Wars wherein they
have to exert a unified front
against the hordes of goblinkins.

The center of a community is
its Elder Brain, a pool of briny
fluid that contains the brains of
the colony’s dead mind flayers.
Due to the mental powers of
illithids, the elder brain is still
sentient, and the telepathic union
of its brains rules the community.
The elder brain has a telepathic
range of 2 to 5 miles, depending
on its age and size. It does not
attack, but telepathically warns
the mind flayers of the presence
of thinking creatures, so a mind
flayer within its telepathic radius
can be surprised only by non-
intelligent creatures. The range of
the elder brain determines the
space territory claimed and
defended by the community,
though raiding ships are sent far
beyond this limit but not beyond

NEO FRONTIER
The Neo Frontier is the
primary organization that the
player characters will join in the
campaign. The Neo Frontier is a
paramilitary organization founded
by a human pacifist and inventor,
Arinola Schizborn, approximately
200 years ago before the
adventures set in this module
under the ideology of ending
space conflicts using a line of
revolutionary armored suits
known as the “Godsuits”. In his
lifetime, Arinola Schizborn
gathered and developed the vast
resources needed to realize his
vision, central to which is the
creation and use of seven fully
functional armored suits powered
by spelljamming helms. The Neo
Frontier developed the Godsuits
as such and later on the Mansuits
using Crown of the Stars. These
are two of the most powerful ar-
mored suits in the Known Sphere.
Nobody knows the people
behind the Neo Frontier now
except rumors tell that they are
backed up by the Arcane though
the blue-skinned merchants deny
such allegations. Nobody even
knows where they are based, and
seems to be moving from crystal
sphere to crystal sphere on a large
spelljamming ship or base (The
Jeda) on a constant basis.

the Spelljammer universe through
military armed intervention.
NEOGI COMPANY
The Neogi Companies are a
strange lot. One group, for
example, the Free Neogi of Oerth
are traversing exclusively in the
Greyspace. This large company
exists solely to haul cargo from
one location to another for a hefty
price, or so they want you to
believe. The Free Neogi alone
own 8 Mindspiders, three
Deathspiders, 2 elven Man-O-
Wars, 32 Hulksuits, and 25 Black
Widows. Each of these large craft
carry 90 Wreck Boats and 60
Urchins for emergency and
bombarding purposes. The
Mindspiders and Man-O-Wars
have been modified to carry one
additional medium weapon
apiece, of the DM’s choosing. The
Deathspider carry an additional
heavy weapon, of the DM’s
choice. Each of the craft also has
an insignia carved and painted
onto the bow and aft to set their
craft and suits apart from any
other. This insignia looks like a
spider with two hands held
outward in the universal sign of
friendship or peace (an ironic
insignia indeed.
The Free Neogi always split
their fleet into two squadrons.
Each squadron always has one of
the elven Man-O-War. These
elven ships are used to gain the
confidence of groundlings, as well
as the trusts of spacefaring races.
This company refers to itself
as the “only neogi Free Traders in
existence”. Whenever this
company makes a stop on Oerth,
the neogi allow the docking
officials to inspect everything.
This helps legitimize their
passage. Upon inspection, the
cargo holds will be found to
contain sealed boxes and crates,
and their contents are legal. They
commonly haul cargo from Oerth
through the dangerous terrain
surrounding The Grinder, and
deliver the package to a moon of
the planet called The Spectre.
Most of the neogi in the Free
Neogi Company are highly
educated spellcasters. They mask
their cargo with illusion and
phantasmal spells, often
transmogrifying their “cargo” to
appear as something completely
different. By wearing amulets of
non-detection or similar devices,
the neogi avoid being revealed as
liars; nor are their alignments
discernable. Standard dock hands
and dock inspection teams have
no chance to discover the neogi
deceit.
The Free Neogi of Greyspace
kidnap average persons – those
they personally would have no
problem defeating without the
help of their umber hulk slaves –
and bind and gag them. Taking
these prisoners, hidden in crates
and boxes, back to their vessels,
hey cast illusion and alteration
spells to make the victims appear
as cloth bolts, hay or grains, cattle
and other farm animals, etc. Once
the dock inspectors finish their
audits, the neogi head into space.
The illusion and alteration spells
are maintained until they reach
their destination - The Spectre –
the outermost planet in Grey-
space.
Once the neogi reach this disc-
shaped planet, they head straight
for the planet’s only moon,
Olarius. This Class A moonlet has
a frigid atmosphere and its land
area is a wasteland of permanent
frost, creating a very dangerous
terrain at best. The neogi dispel
their illusion and alteration spells
and usually abandon their victims
– still tied and helpless - on the
moonlet’s frozen landscape.
Within just a few rounds (1d4),
these ill-fated people freeze to
death.
The Free Neogi place their
cargo here to supply their
compatriots, who pass through the
Greyspace crystal sphere and need
a source of food. Most of those
who enter the sphere for the first
time are unable to traverse the
asteroid belt known as The
Grinder without being destroyed,
so the Free Neogi have placed an
easily reached food supply
relatively near the crystal shell
itself for their brethren to find.
In return, these traveling neogi
pay a handsome fee to the Free
Neogi, who orbit Olarius,
guarding their investments.
Occasionally, even an illithid ship
passes through, looking for a
morsel. The Free Neogi, though
wary of these octopoid
humanoids, sell some of their
“fresher” (unfrozen) samples to
them for an even higher price.
Generally, the Free Neogi sell
their frozen rations 2 sp per
pound. When an unfrozen
provision is requested, the Free
Neogi sell the still-conscious
victim for 1 gp per pound. (The
“fresh” rations are far more rare,
since they require constant food,
water and air supplies to keep
them alive. Therefore, only one
or two are available at any one
time.)

WA
Wa is an island nation that is
part of Kara-Tur, a continent on
the planet Toril. It is located off
the east coast of the largest
continent. It has an oriental
culture. Known for its large
vessels, Wa, unfortunately has
very few crafts and suits. The
emperor believes that a few ships
with great power and strength are
far better than less-expensive
ships but can fall apart easier.
This “larger is better”
mentality has brought about some
of the largest vessels created
humans in wildspace. The
“Tsunami”, otherwise known as
“the tide that crusheth the
enemy”, is the Wa mothership.
Two hundred tons of finely-
carved wood is laminated to an
understructure of tempered iron
and steel, creating a nightmarish
craft. Shaped like a long space-
going centipede, the Tsunami
quietly threads its course through
Realmspace, keeping in check the
Shou Lung and the Elven fleets.
The Wa space fleet continues
to function in the role for it was
designed. Wa authorities were
very concerned when they learned
that their old counterpart, Shou
Lung, possessed a fine space fleet.
This concern, however, did not
compare to their paranoia when
they discovered the Elven fleets.
Wa have fought many a battle
since its infancy, and they know
the power of higher ground.
Knowing that their former
enemies had the higher ground
should a war ever break out again,
the emperor decided to gain an
even footing. With the help from
the arcane (again), Wa developers
created a ship that would move
with the strength of the eel and the
dexterity of the leopard. Nearly
one decade of trial and error
finally paid off when the 140-man
developmental team left the
sanctuary of their retreat with the
plans for both the Tsunami and
the Locust. (Later that same
month, handbills with the
Emperor’s stamp sadly announced
the unfortunate deaths of the 140
persons on the developmental
team. Their demise was attributed
to a freak greek-fire explosion at
the docks of Akkaido.)
At last count, Wa had the
following ships in its space fleet,
either on the ground, in the air, or
in space: 8 Tsunami and 160
Locusts. Wa policy demands that
at least half of the fleet (meaning
half of every type of ship Wa
owns) are in the air at one time.
Whether that means the ship is in
space or in the atmosphere, is
strictly a matter of interpretation.
The rest of the ships are hidden in
cavernous hangars scattered
across the Tsukishima and
Shinkoku islands.
When Wa has its hands
extended into space, they only
patrol two locations in space at
any one time. By splitting their
space fleet into two parts, they are
able to patrol twice the area, and
they do not overextend
themselves too badly. At any one
time, a Wa fleet consists of one or
two Tsunami and 20-40 Locusts
(20 per Tsunami). Never leaving
the vicinity of their planet Toril,
the Wa space fleet is always on
the alert for attacks on their
homeland, attacks on their water-
sailing crafts, and confrontations
with piratical spacefarers.
When the Shou Lung started
to delve in manned armored suits,
their Dragonsuit, again Wa rushed
to develop their own version.
Using the special Ki Helms
utilized on their spelljamming
ships, Wa patterned their
humanoid suits with the armored
samurai warrior in mind. What
they lack in circuit cannons and
accelerators, the Wa suits dubbed

PERSONALITIES:
Wa has several captains and
helmsmen that have attained
distinction in Wa society.
Daimyo Akahu Nagasa

AC:17 #AT:2/1 DMG:1D8+1
STR:15 INT:17 DEX: 17

The captain of the Tsunami
ship, Sakura, a craft that carries
52 Locusts, Daimyo Nagasa is a
veteran of seven battles. His
scribes have detailed two attacks
from elven Man-O-Wars and one
battle with an Armada; the latter
disabling his craft’s ability to land
for three months. The other four
major battles were against
various humanoid races.
He has captained two separate
Tsunami ships in his lucrative
four-year career.
A man of few words, Akahu
maintain a strict chain of
command at all times. No one can
go over the head of his immediate
superiors without suffering 50
lashes for insubordination, except
in rare occasions. Every rule of
the Wa command is followed to
the letter, no matter how difficult
it makes life. Akahu believes that
by only following the rules can
they survive the lawless void of
space. And twice for battle
excellence
Akahu is well-liked by those
under his command. Their
respect and admiration gives his
fleet cohesion every military force
needs to properly function under
extreme pressure.
He has been decorated thrice
for bravery and twice for battle
excellence. In one battle in
particular, The Selune Tear
Elmonitae, Akahu and his
Tsunami battled six neogi
Mindspiders. The moonlet
Elmonitae was a neogi stronghold,
and the Admiralty of Navy feared
that the small asteroid was
housing captive Wa citizens.
Akahu, then captaining the
Tsunami Storm of Honor, flew to
the rescue. After nearly 28
straight hours of battle, the two
Mindspiders and their suits that
remained fled the area, leaving the
Storm of Honor to salvage the
wreckage.
The Tsunami landed on
Elmonitae, and found nearly 100
captives; 40 of whom were Wa
citizens. The other 60 were of
elven descent., and Akahu
personally delivered them to the
elven Armada Wings of Glory.
(This act created five years of
peace between the elven fleet of
Realmspace and Wa, interrupted
only by the “accidental”
destruction of an elven Man-O-
War, when a Shou Lung spy
leaked information that drow were
using the Man-O-War for
smuggling illegal goods to Wa.)
Salmone Healsmith
17th Level Priest of Eldath
AL: N HP:46 PP: 14
AC:13 #AT:n/a DMG:n/a
STR:11 INT:17 DEX: 14
CHA:13 WIS:16 CON: 12
Born in the Daleland’s town
of Scardale, Salmone quickly
became renowned for his abilities
as a cleric for hire. His
carelessness about the character of
his partners, however, soon
gained him a bad name. He soon
became known as “Salmone-for-
anyone’s-hire”, and after a while
he fell into financial ruin, working
only when the evilly-inclined
came to him. After this cycle
continued, he became a wanted
man in as many cities as his
fingers.
To escape the haunting
footfalls of mercenaries and
bounty hunters who were closing
in on him, Salmon braved the
Endless Waste to reach a small
inlet town name Winterkeep.
There, he met a fine daimyo
named Akahu Nagasa, who
captained the Tsunami
battlejammer Storm of Honor. He
became a Cleric/Medic 2nd Class,
a position he holds to this day on
the good ship Sakura. (The ship
was named after a famous scribe
who lived in the previous century.
The scribe was known for his
insatiable curiosity.)
Wo Han Do of Chozawa
16th/14th Level Samurai/Ninja
AL: LN HP:78 PP: 14
AC:20 #AT:2/1 DMG:1d10+10
STR:19 INT:14 DEX: 17
CHA:15 WIS:18 CON: 15
Honor: 99
 Wo Han Do is a legend in his
own right. He is well known for
pulling stunts that no other captain
would dare. Several month ago,
he fought a neogi Deathspider.
During battle, he had the first
mate and the Navigator 1st Class
take over the Tsunami Hagure
Jima, while he took a Kamisuit.
Flying through enemy fire and
armored suits, he landed on the
neogi vessel. Using his ninja
skills, he overcame the ship’s
navigator and freed the prisoner in
the lifejammer helm.
After threatening the life of,
and subsequently gaining the
superiority over the neogi captain,
Wo Han forced all neogi and
their umber hulk slaves to
surrender. This selfless act
virtually saved many a member
of his crew. It also brought about
the arrest and conviction of seven
Wa persons, who were selling
secrets to the neogi regarding
places to land and locate
prisoners. (These arrests also
significantly lessened the number
of mysterious disappearances
reported in the mountains of Wa.)
For his selfless act as a
spacefaring captain, Wo Han was
given a Wakizashi of Honor. For
his exceptional work in
protecting the people of Wa, Wo
Han was awarded the Silver Star
of Excellence. He is one of thirty
in Wa’s history to receive the
award, and he is the only one
currently living to possess it.
His Tsunami ship, the Hagure
Jima, was renamed the Silver Star
in recognition of this award. The
Silver Star is now the ship most
frequently requested by new
recruits and by those requesting
transfers. Some even believe that
Wo Hand Do has honor
