Operating the Expansion

Personnel Files Booklet

The Personnel Files booklet contains 180 extra personal stories for your crew members. Each story provides unique narrative content and may lead to specific in-game effects or unlock conditions for veteran status. Players will be directed to specific entries in this booklet during gameplay based on their crew members' actions and progress.

Veteran Cards

The 90 Veteran cards offer personal quests for every crew member. These quests provide additional powers and unique abilities once a crew member achieves veteran status. The conditions for unlocking veteran status are detailed within the Personnel Files booklet and on the cards themselves. Integrating these cards changes the strategic options available to players during the game.
