"Shut up about the Sun!!"


General Discussion


I apologize for the slightly click baity title, I am a big fan of Gabe.

Anyway, just wondering what happened to the Burning Archipelago and the sun in Starfinder 2 I noticed it hasn't been mentioned at all in any book.

Just curious.


It's pretty early, and we don't have a dedicated SF2 setting book yet. My uninformed guess is that it's just not covered yet, since it's an easy thing to drop when space constraints rear their head.


There was a SF1 campaign set around saving the burning archipelago from an invasion from the plane of fire.

I suspect that the Burning Archipelago is largely status quo since then and just hasn't been mentioned because there's not much interesting happening.

I wonder if it hasn't been covered yet because the season one meta plot involves The First Ones. One of the NPCs involved with the Deep Cultures Institute from Dawn of Flames has shown up in a season one scenario. Outside of the Pact Worlds, another sun is having issues, too, and the scenario gives the GM no explanation for it. So I suspect there is one or more sun-related mysteries Paizo doesn't want to spoil yet.

I am pretty sure I remember this being talked about a bit in the galaxy guide at least mentioning the aftermath of that adventure path and what was found as it is tying in to the return of the first ones stuff.

While they don't come right out and say it, the Critical Success for the Gather Information checks about the First Ones have repeatedly been a throwback to knowing about the Protocytes living inside a sun.

It seems to be strongly alluded, putting together the context clues, that the Protocytes are ressurecting the Vlakan sun while using First Ones technology, and this will turn out to be a later component to the First Ones invasion.

I found a way to have the NPC involved with the Deep Cultures Institute from Dawn of Flames to end up on Lajok, if you run 1-04, 1-02, and 1-10 in that order. The second time through running that series, I've switched to using an NPC I made up once I realized who the other NPC was in SF1e, just in case they show up officially again. 1-19 got canceled, I'm hoping that wasn't going to be the sequel to 1-10 or 1-06, both seem to be setting up something bigger.
