As the crew of a lone scout ship, you race to survive a hyperspace mission by fending off threats and keeping the vessel operational until you can jump home.

Gameplay

Players talk over a ticking soundtrack, select and place action cards to move through ship rooms, power systems, fire weapons, and repel boarders before time runs out. The stress is in coordinating a perfect plan while new dangers are announced and mistakes cascade into ship damage.
