Alien City Ruins
By : Jonny OllsinDusty ruins on a distant planet -- the kind of abandoned alien cities investigators are likely to explore... or to be inexplicably lead to by the machinations of cruel gods. Nothing in such an environment sounds right. Footsteps echo strangely. The wind howls overhead and at times seems to speak with the voice of the city's long dead builders. Ancient alien technology, or perhaps the residue of faded magic, occasionally thrums below, overhead and in the distance. The place is desolate and empty. It hasn't know life or habitation in hundreds or possibly thousands of years. And yet, there is a sense that something still dwells in the city... a flicker in your peripheral vision, or just a feeling that raises the hairs on the back of your neck... Eerie, futuristic sci-fi music.

Derelict Starship
By : Christy CarewThe adventurers find themselves exploring an abandoned starship. Faint lights flicker dimly down long corridors. Equipment lies dormant, engines quiet. No signs of life are apparent, but there is a sense of foreboding as they wonder why the ship was abandoned in the first place. Perhaps there is life still here after all. Ambient orchestral music with a science-fiction flavor.

Palace of the Galactic Emperor
By : Christy CarewTitanic doors harder than steel and etched in gold slide away revealing throne room of the most powerful being in the Galaxy. The throne hovers majestically within a field of thrumming antigravity while gilt service robots flit like cherubs through the refined air. A mix of synthesizers and exotic instruments from the farthest worlds play the anthem of the mighty empire as the Emperor himself ascends the throne on a beam of light. Decrees are made, then translated and echoed in a hundred languages, both human and inhuman. As dignitaries of all shapes and sizes file into the throne room the domed ceiling slides away revealing a panoramic view of the Emperor's domain. The Galaxy spirals into infinity while nebulae billow and curl. A dominion of a billion worlds stands at the ready, awaiting the command of Emperor of The Galaxy. Epic orchestral music with intergallactic overtones.

Wonders of Space
By : Christy CarewFloating through space in a great ship, the adventurers see all sorts of wonders, gazing through the giant window. Or perhaps they are exploring an alien cavern, or an awe-inspiring planet no one has stepped foot on before. Space age, ambient music - orchestral and synth.
