|
| 6: Uncertain Outcomes | The GLaD has invited you to meet them! Find a civilian Waystation in the orbit of one of the gas giants' moons in this system (Ellyon system). Your suit AI will be able to decode the xact meeting coordinates as soon as you approach one of the stations. | Gas Giant Moon's Orbits |
|
|
| 7: Meet the GLaD | Looking back at your time in Andromeda, you feel like you've been stumbling from one event to another, making friends and foes as you go but without being aware of the bigger picture. Your gut feel is that there must be something that explains all this. Even after showing your new allies the information about the Talon, Zirax and Legacy having a shared history, things are not getting any better. You are still in doubt as to the motives of the Galactic Liberation and Defense organisation. Your partner, Alex, might be part of this group and you understand they support a Talon rebellion against the Zirax Empire. However, most of this does not make any sense to you yet. But things are about to change... |
|
| |
| 8: Sigma Fulcrum (Polaris) |
You have finally made contact with what remains of the UCH. Those that did not want to join Vice Admiral Perez have founded Galactic Liberation and Defense (GLaD). Your partner Commander Alex Lamarr and Captain Jennifer Zerogen were integral in its creation. Thanks to information you provided, the GLaD were able to piece together a vague outline of what is happening in Andromeda - but there is still much we do not know. In the meantime, the GLaD requires your assistance once again... |
|
| |
| 9: Unexpected Allies (Zirax) |
You found Yarod, a former station AI that got in touch with a VOID artifact, which seems to have allowed him to develop his own personality. He has integrated himself into your suit and is now supporting IDA and you on your missions. He asked you to not reveal him to the GLaD or any other organization. He might have a reason for this. And you possibly too. You still do not entirely trust that organization called GLaD. Even the UCH itself has become a bit suspicious to you, based on what you learned from the TITAN logs - but your recent endeavors also didn't bring you an closer to Alex or an answer that would explain what is happening. So you have no other choice as to smile and try to stay in the game - which leads to finding an unexpected ally... |
|
| |
| 10: Wins and Losses (Talon) |
Something unexpected happened: you found an ally within the Zirax Empire. The ambassador Hyzani of the House of Abyssal not only helped you to understand more about what makes the Zirax Empire tick, but also seems to know a lot about the events of the recent past. Especially about the LEGACY. And also about a mysterious, presumably extinct race named the PROGENITOR. While you still try to fiddle out how the new information fits into the big picture, including the VOID and the TESCH, you are racing back to the GLaD outpost to reveal a possible traitor and save the crew from an already rolling Ghyst assault on the base. |

Credibility Missions[]
Credibility missions listed below are for the Survival Game Mode, and are not available in the Scenario Game Mode (to be checked).
Credibility missions typically involve destroying the Core of vehicles and POIs (stations, defenses) of a rival faction. Self-destruction of vessels, or automated Core destruction triggered by switches or signal logic, usually do not count towards the success of these missions.
Description[]
The Credibility Missions will ask you to do something in favor of the faction that really proves your worth to them. As a reward you will get two (TBC) faction Credibility Seals.
Find an ambassador of the faction or connect to a [[Global Information Network) (GIN) console on any Trading station. One seal is used for each step from hostile to unfriendly, and unfriendly to neutral. You cannot improve your reputation with the faction beyond neutral with the faction credibility seals, though.
Notes: You can also earn the credibility seals with some story missions and quests. The Zirax Empire credibility seal will increase your reputation with the Empire and all houses of the Empire.
List of Credibility Missions[]
| Sponsoring faction | Target faction | Target infrastructure |
|---|---|---|
| Talon |

1 POIs (stations) or vessels |

Non-Story Faction Missions[]
Faction missions listed below must be completed in order from top to bottom; later missions only unlock upon the completion of earlier ones. Missions are for the Survival Game Mode, and are not available in the Scenario Game Mode.
Talon Guardians[]
| Mission | Description | Requirements | Rewards |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pest Control | Predators are roaming our territory, frightening our children and attacking our workers. Will you take care of this threat and fend of the predators? |
| |
| Torching the Weed | The radiated zones are a source of power for the unholy. Will you help us stop their spread by harvesting some wood so we can better equip our warriors and fortify our settlements? |
| |
| The Unholy | The world is filled with places where the unholy is hiding from our eyes. We can feel it - will you help us to find some of its hiding places? |
| |
| Action and Reaction | Our attempts to halt the spread of the unholy seems to have triggered a reaction. Our Elders feel that our villages will soon be under attack. Will you help us to defend our settlements against the unholy creatures? |
| |
| Pinholes do Hurt I | The Zirax have oppressed us long enough! But we do not want to directly assault them. Instead, we would like to express... our arguments. Will you lend us a hand in our campaign and deliver our message to some of their troops? |
| |
| Pinholes do Hurt II | Killing only the troopers does not seem to make them listen. We need to shut down what fuels their bases. Will you mind assisting us in some sabot... er ahem, in demonstrating our determination and shut down some of their generators or fuel tanks? |
|
Polaris Megacorp[]
| Mission | Description | Requirements | Rewards |
|---|---|---|---|
| Privacy Matters | Greetings from the Polaris Megacorp, my dear friend! You look like someone that has grown to like some... privacy. We, as a company, are the biggest advocates of privacy - but we are afraid the Zirax Empire does not really value this like we do. Do you think you can shut down some of their drones... just for the sake of the wildlife and its unimpaired living, of course? |
| |
| Wildlife Cam | Wonderful performance in your last mission! But we are afraid we need to invest more time in the well-being of the creatures of this planet - especially around ore deposits. Some minerals seem to affect the wildlife and we do not have prospectors... I mean, skilled explorers at hand. Your bearing shows you are a skilled explorer. So may we ask you for another favor and scout a few ore deposits - only for checking the living conditions of the native animals, of course. |
| |
| Power down the Zone | Currently, our biggest concern[sic] on this planet are the sources of Promethium. The Promethium stones and deposits in that area seem to interact with the ecosystem, leading to wildlife attacks targeting our worke... the more precious lifeforms there. We would like to ask you to venture in such an area, check what is happening there and bring back a few samples of Promethium so we can make profit... examine it! |
| |
| Weaponized Negotiations | What a shame! It seems the Zirax do not value our combined efforts to improve our companies... the planets... situation and have sent in an attack force to one of our facilities. On behalf of the POLARIS Board of Directors, we ask you to head there and help with the defenses! |
| |
| Counter Strike I | The Zirax have gone too far once again and are posing a risk to our company operations! I mean, primarily to the natives, of course! We need to help them get back on the right track, don't you think? First, we should 'inform' some of their personnel and deliver a loud and clear warning. Do you mind delivering that little notice to the recipients, will you? |
| |
| Counter Strike II | Do you believe that! The Zirax not only seem to disagree with our company operations, but also store dangerous substances in 3rd party non-licensed containers? That's something we simply cannot accept! Can you possibly stop by a Zirax facility and check if the storage areas are up to our high company standards? You are entitled to seize any goods stored in a non-compliant fashion. Additionally, you may advise the personnel to exit, or abandon their facility. |
|
Zirax Empire[]
| Mission | Description | Requirements | Rewards |
|---|---|---|---|
| Taming the Mood | Praise the Emperor, stranger! Some of our lieutenants told me you had helped them in various situations. Now you can prove your worth for the Zirax Empire! Get out there and kill some of those worthless creatures crouching and running around and do not care for anything. I am sick of looking at them. Prey... pfff. |
| |
| Untrusted Trading | These POLARIS tricksters think we let them do whatever they want. Even the local governor believes in their 'environmental first' campaign nonsense, while they ruthlessly exploit any deposit they can get their hands on. You will help us to reveal their real interests! Locate and investigate one of their Hubs or Trading Stations. I am quite sure they even work with those Talon scumbags. |
| |
| Radiated Trace | A recently seized cargo transport led us to the assumption that the POLARIS are harvesting Pentaxid crystals in certain areas of this planet - without permission! If I would not know their obvious profit plans any better, I would have guessed they are searching for something particular. We want you to follow this trace, closely investigate and bring back some of the Pentaxid crystals so we can get an idea why these areas are of such an importance to them! |
| |
| Crime Scene Cleaner | Every week the same troubles! One of our patrols accidentally shot down a representative of one of the other Zirax houses. Is this MY fault if their worthless officers do not sign the trespassing formulas? Exactly! Can you please grab a weapon and silence this turmoil at the Crash Site? |
| |
| Supreme Court I | Those pesky Talon! Now they have gone too far. I do not know how, but they destroyed several of our base generators and fuel tanks! The governor wants to set a warning example. Search for their settlements and bazaars and kill their Chiefs, Guards, their Sentinels and Traders and destroy the statues they pray towards. No mercy! |
| |
| Supreme Court II | Ha! Now we got them with their dirty company hands deep into illegal transactions! A scout team has caught a POLARIS team selling medicals, building material and other commodities to the Talon. We are sure, they are also selling weapons, so we NEED to act now! Zirax High Court has ordered the clearing of the Polaris Trading compound by weapon fire. Go there and prove your loyalty to the Empire. No survivors. |
