Parts of ''Alternity'' as well as TSR's classic ''[[Star Frontiers]]'' game were later incorporated into the ''[[d20 Modern]]'' game, especially the ''[[d20 Future]]'' setting. ''Star*Drive'' was the first campaign setting published for ''Alternity'', and was introduced in 1998.<ref name="history"/>
