Overview

Plots are major story missions that can drastically alter the balance of power within the x-universe, they serve as a means for the player to promote or restrict war and unlock certain features. Some plots are included with the basegame while others are included with DLC, so far each DLC has added at least 1 plot. Plots vary significantly in duration, difficulty and outcome and some have a variety of possible outcomes so it may take players multiple playthroughs to experience every possible outcome.

The Player Headquarters, Hatikvah Trade Revolution, Empyrean Curs (Tides of Avarice) and Boron Reunification (Kingdom End) plots each serve as tutorials in addition to being plots and are highly recommended for new players.
