Story Missions

Prologue/Tutorial Missions

Each of the backgrounds has a slightly different tutorial line with minor variations now how they go about and perform tasks. While a Navy Officer would go defeat the pirates to get stolen gate construction materials, a Prospector would more likely mine for ores and craft them.
