Many faces, one purpose - Unity, the oppressive authority you have fled, have followed you to Andromeda's Edge. Nine Unity leaders, ranging in difficulty and tactics, will face off against your sole faction in solo mode. Or increase the risk in a multiplayer game by adding Unity into the mix.
The Escalation expansion provides pieces for a 5th player, 3 new factions (Darkstar Acolytes, Nebulon Cloudpeople and Krawln), a new raider (The Void Drake), the Shadows of the Void event deck, a new special region known as the Nethervoid, Relic modules, Ancient moons, 4 new ship upgrade tiles and a robust solo mode that can be played in 1-3 player games.
