After getting out of debt, you find yourselves on the other side of the universe. In order to get home, you'll have to use waypoints to jump light years in the right direction. However, waypoint access codes are one-time use, and very hard to come by...

A new Syzygy Mode campaign booklet were offered during the original Kickstarter project as a "Free Expansion". "Lost in the Galaxy's outer crust, you'll do anything to find your way back home. Guide 3 characters through a series of scenarios that carry over into each other." Syzygy Mode is a campaign that allows you to play multiple scenarios one after another, in a nice and interconnected way.
