Summary: Neat Trek info for gamers and non-gamers alike
Review: This nifty little supplement is a concise collection of Planetery and Cultural descriptions of TNG Systems. Its short but well written entries are enough to give your players a quick rundown on-the-fly, or to use as a starting point for creation of entire campaign worlds. Some planets are familiar (Cestus III, home of the Gorn Encounter in TOS "Arena" is a thriving colony of Humans and baseball-loving Gorn) and some are new (including aliens not restricted by a television budget). My only real complaint is the limited quality of the art. But all in all, a good buy.
