The Edge of Eternities expansion is based on space opera, which I am told means it's like normal science-fiction, except that it ain't over till the fat space monster eats a planet.
OK, what it really means is we should expect something between Buck Rogers and Star Wars, with varied alien species, faster-than-light travel at the press of a button, space whales, and entire worlds that each have a single biome. That last aspect makes an easy transition to Magic: The Gathering. This whole planet is covered in swamps? Cool, that's a black-mana land card now.
