I’m on the hunt for an engaging RPG sandbox setting that revolves around bounty hunters, smugglers, and space pirates, reminiscent of The Mandalorian. I want a complete document that includes maps, NPCs, factions, and various goals to explore, not a ruleset or system. Just a rich world where I can dive into some action-packed space adventures!

You should definitely take a look at Mothership’s Wages of Sin. It sounds like it would be right up your alley, and they’re still taking pre-orders.
Have you considered Star Wars as your setting? There’s a massive wealth of resources out there, from official books to fan-made content. The Edge of the Empire system has a bunch of adventure materials focusing on smugglers and bounty hunters, including documents like Beyond the Rim which could be super useful!
Check out the default setting for Scum and Villainy! It’s compact but provides tons of content for its size. If you’re after a broader take, Pirates of Drinax might fit the bill, and it’s currently available for a steal on Bundle of Holding.
Edge of the Empire works great for some groups—my crew loved it! The adventure books are solid. Just keep in mind that it doesn’t fit every gaming style.
