Summary
I'm excited to see what the new edition of Starfinder has in store and the Galaxy Guide is a solid first release. I have to say I'm not too keen on the mega-plot which appears to be the focus of the Galaxy to begin 2E. I also think it's strange the book is half aimed at Game Masters and the other half filled with character ancestries and player options.
