The DragonStar universe is in someways the evolution of the old SpellJammer campaign setting. Some of the computer stuff in here will have you thinking of earlier science fantasy setting by FASA called Shadowrun I'm non too sure about that but the same geniuses that brought us Arsenal is going to be visiting this subject Factory(a book I plan on getting without even bothering to paw through first as I found Arsenal to be that good) so we'll know more when it comes out. Standing on its own merits, Imperial Supply crams computer equipment, weapons, armor, robots and vehicles into one book. There is so much gear in here there is not enough room for a prestige class even if they wanted to shoehorn one in, and this a good thing. Vehicles and vehicle design comprise a good hunk of the back of the book but the vehicle design rules are well though out and rather concise making the whole book a nice tool box for customizing a given campaign. Someone else has recommeded geting this with Arsenal and it's a good suggestion, keep in mind that Dragonstar leans more heavily on hard core science fiction in concept and execution than magic where as Arsenal seeks to fully combine the two into a seamless whole. Convergent evolution at its finest compare and contrast these two at you leisure and decide for yourself. Personally, I'm keeping both and using both in the Dragonstar campaign I'm planning.
