A space conglomerate-corporation is building a new Dyson Sphere in an uncharted galaxy. They're looking for a "go-to" crew of mercenaries and pioneers, so they've issued a galaxy-wide challenge... Bring them what they need in a timely manner and you'll be rewarded with a full-time contract(handsome salaries and benefits included).

Build a crew, mod your ship, and race against the other competing crews, to mine resources and battle your way to victory! This is an uncharted galaxy, so anything goes.

The game board is customizable and modular, so gameplay is different every time you play. Before you start the game, players will take turns placing game pieces for the session. You can play however you'd like!

A single mission card, showing which resources and how much of each are required, is drawn for the game session (all players will be racing to complete this). The first player to gather the requested resources and travels back to the space station wins the game. All players (given three random crew members) start at the space station at the beginning of the game, and roll dice to determine how far they can navigate that turn(crew skills can increase this roll).

Once a player has reached a planet or asteroid(each have their own unique resources) they can mine. You can mine a planet once per turn, for a max of two turns. Mining does not end your turn however, so its best to start it by mining every time.

You can also battle other players to steal their resources, eliminate crew members, or destroy any tech mods they may have. This requires you to be on the same spot as the opposing player however. Another way to use your turn is to spend any unneeded resources to upgrade your ship with tech mods or new crew members (max of 4).

Once a player has acquired the necessary resources to complete the mission card, they must navigate back to where they started the game. Once they have arrived, they win the game. Watch out for other players trying to steal your loot though!
