Setting & Lore

The Starfinder Society is one of the most prominent organizations in the Pact Worlds, dedicated to the exploration of the galaxy and the discovery of lost knowledge. Founded in the aftermath of the Gap, the Society sends teams of agents called Starfinders to explore uncharted worlds, investigate ancient ruins, recover lost technology, and make first contact with new species. The organization is headquartered in the Lorespire Complex on Absalom Station, a massive archive and training facility. Starfinder Society agents come from all walks of life and species, united by their curiosity and sense of adventure. The Society is organized into factions that represent different philosophical approaches to exploration, including the Acquisitives (focused on profit), the Dataphiles (focused on knowledge), the Exo-Guardians (focused on defense), and the Wayfinders (focused on exploration). Membership in the Society provides access to equipment, transportation, and a vast network of contacts across known space.
