** Gevalarsk Nor, Ambassador of Eox, is an ally to the PC's [[spoiler: especially if they retrieve his package for him]]. The adventure does not encourage the PC's attacking him, and since he is a CR 13 opponent at a time most parties would be around level 2, any attempt to attack him [[CurbStompBattle wouldn't end well]] for the group.

** There's the planet of Eox and its undead populace. One of the earliest things the PC's do is a job for Eox's ambassador [[OurLichesAreDifferent Gevalarsk Nor]]. [[spoiler: If you do the job as he requested he'll even return the favor later in the adventure.]]
** The Corpse Fleet, a disavowed group of Eoxian nationalists and undead supremacists, feature as secondary antagonists during the adventure. [[spoiler: Until the sixth book when they take center stage as the BigBad.]]

** Castrovel, homeworld of the Lashuntas, Elves, and Formians. Beyond the protected centers of civilization, the jungles that take up most of the planet's surface contain all manner of dangerous predators and [[ManEatingPlant Man Eating Plants]]. The PC's will be struggling to avoid getting [[AnimalStampede trampled]], [[EatenAlive devoured]], or [[ChestBurster infected by Ksarik Spores]]. [[spoiler: As if the Cult of the [[OmnicidalManiac Devourer]] wasn't enough...]]
** The planet of Eox, homeworld of the now undead Elebrians. Outside of cities built to support living visitors the planet is uninhabitable to most forms of life.

* AdventurerArchaeologist: The PC's are members of or working with the Starfinder Society, an entire organization of Adventurer Archaeologists... [[RecycledInSpace IN SPACE!]]
** [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] by [[PosthumousCharacter Halkueem Zan]], who certainly THOUGHT he was one, but his conclusions are hilariously off the mark and colored by his prejudices. Still, while his findings are inaccurate, they are useful for navigating Castrovel's jungles.
