The Astral Space Preservation Society (ASPS) is a branch of the Dunkelzahn Institute of Magical Research concerned with the protection of astral space and the restoration of astrally contaminated areas. The members of the society tend to view themselves as more of a society of astral environmentalists than magical researchers (Loose Alliances, p 10). Their stated goals are "to monitor the potential abuse of astral space and its inhabitants, protect the rights of the denizens of astral space, establish a set of parameters that will facilitate a positive working relationship between spirits and metahumanity, and create a sanctuary in astral space for beings in search of a safe retreat", as laid out verbatim from Dunkelzahn's Will.
