Let \(\Lambda\) be a finite dimensional algebra over an algebraically closed field. The authors prove that, for any semisimple object \(T\in\Lambda\text{-mod}\), the class of those \(\Lambda\)-modules with fixed dimension vector \(d\) and top \(T\) which do not permit any proper top-stable degenerations possesses a fine moduli space \(\mathfrak{ModuliMax}_d^T\) that is a projective variety. The authors show that any projective variety arises as \(\mathfrak{ModuliMax}_d^T\) for suitable \(\Lambda\), \(T\) and \(d\) (Example 5.4). The following classification theorem is proved. Theorem B. For any semisimple \(T\in\Lambda\text{-mod}\), the modules of dimension vector \(d\) which are degeneration-maximal among those with top \(T\) have a fine moduli space \(\mathfrak{ModuliMax}_d^T\), that classifies them up to isomorphism. The variety \(\mathfrak{ModuliMax}_d^T\) is projective. Moreover, given any module \(M\) whose top \(M/JM\) is contained in \(T\), the closed sub-variety of \(\mathfrak{ModuliMax}_d^T\) consisting of the points that correspond to degenerations of \(M\) is a fine moduli space for the maximal top-\(T\) degenerations of \(M\). In Theorem A a structural characterization of modules with no proper top-stable degenerations is given. For part I see B. Huisgen-Zimmermann [Proc. Lond. Math. Soc.
