The worlds of fantasy space are legion. Not all are friendly. The spider-like [[Neogi]] slavers, the cold and calculating [[Mind Flayer]]s, the savage [[Scro]], and others all build great ships of war to catch the magical currents of space.
Now YOU can face the perils of deadly combat in the depths of the void. This game accessory gives you the chance to storm enemy ships or brave a barrage of wizard spells that could tear your ship apart. This latest boxed set, the '''War Captain's Companion''' (sequel to the earlier [[SPELLJAMMER]] boxed set, ''[[Adventures in Space]]'') contains the following:
