Key characters each recruit heroes for their department. The most interesting work on the ship comes from the departments. In these missions, the hero acquires knowledge, build skills, and gets rewarded with gear particularly useful for the missions of this department.

It is generally best to pick a department and work with it consistently as it can be hard to remember what’s happened with a faction you haven’t fought in a while. However, everything you unlock within a department stays unlocked when you switch to another one.  With enough hard work, it is possible to eventually become a veteran member of all of them, with all the benefits.

Players first encounter Ambassador who introduces them to the departments and helps them select which department they would like to help.

Each department and its missions take the personality of its leader, a personality shaped by the character’s life experience. To learn more about their sometimes unusual life stories, click on their names above.
