32 new systems, 10 new factions, and more miscellaneous tokens for Burning Suns. The "new" factions are duplicates of the originals with different names and associated art, allowing two players to have the "same" core race. For example, the Terrans and Terran Marauders have the same Race profiles (same ship stats, same number of technology slots and ship upgrade slots). The ideology and framework tiles are exact duplicates. It's another set of 18 punchboard sheets just like in the core game. —user summary
