Out in the Frontier, the toughest jobs in the galaxy are handled by Freelance Adventuring Crews, and a disillusioned delivery boy known as Starkid dreams of captaining his own team earning a living completing lucrative but dangerous quests set up by the Starcadia Alliance. When his best friend Digits encourages him to recruit a crew, he sends out a call for the best he can get... at his local Stardollars coffee shop.

Also contains three exclusive scenarios for the Starcadia Quest game! Expanding the world of Starcadia Quest, the latest stand-alone game in the Arcadia Quest family where players fight alien monsters and each other, find new gear, explore the far reaches of space, and do their best to not become alien chow.

STANDARD, PRIMARY, DM AND VARIANT COVERS

Standard and Primary covers are widely available through general retailers. They often have higher print runs and can be cheaper, especially during sales.

In contrast, Direct Market (DM) and variant covers are primarily sold in comic shops. DM editions tend to have more limited availability and may be more valuable to collectors.

The main differences lie in artwork style, availability, price, and collector appeal. Ultimately, the choice between standard and variant covers depends on personal preference, budget, and individual collecting goals.
