It's not a setting book, but rather a campaign toolkit. It was released at the time when the tv show Sliders was pretty big and capitalizes on the concept of exploring alternate/parallel dimensions, providing means of doing so with specified F/X powers (Psionics) or vehicles. It includes a lot of options for creating alternate worlds too, which makes it a great sourcebook for any role-player looking for options in world-building.

Alternity 2017's second setting is tentatively named "Dark Nebula"

DARK NEBULA : For hundreds of millennia the great civilization known as the Ascendancy has reigned over the galaxy, but like all mortal works, it has grown old and decrepit. In this age of decadence and decay, the warlords of a thousand exotic worlds pursue their petty intrigues and vendettas surrounded by wonders they no longer know how to build or maintain. The desperate search is on for lost knowledge and ancient superweapons as the Ascendancy prepares for the first war in a thousand centuries. Yet this is not the greatest threat facing civilization, for a dark force has returned to the galaxy, enemy to all life. One by one, the stars are going out.
