missions
Missions are comprised of two components: a set of two Minor Objectives, and one Major Objective. Minor objectives may be taken freely, while the major objective is derived from either of the minor objectives (unless specified as unique).
Missions are made of 2 minor objectives and 1 major objectives. The chosen mission, regardless of makeup, must be shared by all players.
Completion of the major objective results in the mission succeeding. Missions must contain a theme profile, as well as all objective choices, to be played.
campaigns
Players may follow a campaign - set during a certain time period - to earn rewards. Campaigns are a series of missions that reduce the fortifications of a planet (here called complexity) to liberate - or brutalise - a given planet.
Players begin by choosing a theme profile for the system - with the difficulty being used to determine planetary complexity (Difficulty + 6). They then roll D3 to determine the number of planets they are waging war against. Missions are launched to reduce the complexity of a single planet - one after the other. Once the planetary complexity is 1 or less, the player may launch a unique Invasion mission.
The successful invasion of each planet - followed by the system - gives exclusive rewards.
