After the captain is killed, the surviving crew races to get the ship’s jump core online before a hostile alien vessel destroys them.

Gameplay

Work together to move around the ship, spend actions to repair damaged systems, fight off alien threats, and complete the jump-core tasks before the ship is overwhelmed. The pressure is constant as each crisis forces painful choices about what to save now versus what can wait.
