2020 Free Core space Missions

Come Out and Play

You’ve found yourselves in a bar in the middle of a terrorist attack, and you need to fight your way back to the ship. The Gangers have other ideas though, and will be locking doors in your face and even disengaging your ship’s airlock! This mission requires the Shootout at Zed’s expansion.

Dead Planet

In this mission, the Traders arrive after the Purge have wiped out a planet in order to salvage what’s left. They know that Purge Gatherers will be in the area assimilating everything that’s left, but that’s what they are here for – the Mother’s core can be used to create a powerful weapon. If the Traders can defeat her that is.

Egg Hunt

It’s a seasonal affair this time. Giger’s Emporium are hosting their annual Easter Egg Hunt and there are big prizes up for grabs. Send a couple of your Traders into the store to grab whatever they can, but be warned that they won’t be the only ones on the hunt…

Factory Settings

In this free download, your crew will infiltrate a processing plant for one of the biggest conglomerates in the galaxy.
You’re not there for factory work though – you have reason to believe they are smuggling contraband in their goods and you want in!

Lost in Space

On this occasion you’ve come across a derelict ship floating through space and you venture on-board, but find yourself trapped and surrounded by the Purge! With the air running out this mission will be tough going, but if you can secure the wreckage it will be a great source of parts for a long time to come.

Particular Transmission

This mission has your Traders break into a Galactic Corps facility. It sounds dangerous, but the rewards are well worth the risk.
If you can salvage some parts from their top-of-the-range Particle Transmitter you can upgrade your ship’s teleporter.
This mission requires the Galactic Corps expansion.

Power Outage

This mission involves the Traders taking control of the cargo-bot to repair the damaged engine core of a space station by retrieving parts from industrial equipment scattered around the board. Of course it won’t be that simple – the Purge will be bearing down on you from the start! This mission requires the Engineering Sector terrain set.

Prison Break

In this mission you will have to break into a Galactic Prison to liberate your crewmate, but it won’t be easy.
You’ll need to team up with other crews and all sorts of criminal scum if you want to make it out alive!

Privacy Concerns

In this mission the Traders must infiltrate an office building belonging to one of the biggest tech corporations in the sector. There are rumours that the CEO has been dabbling in new AI technology, but not all is above board. This double-size map requires the Cyberpunk Core Set terrain.

Raid VR

It’s a one-off mission representing the latest VR fad – a video game called “Raid VR!” which pits two teams of users against each other in a race to steal their opponent’s objective and bring it back in capture-the-flag-style mayhem.

Imagine it as something your Traders could be playing in an arcade while at a Trading Post.

Raw Blue Fusion

This mission sees your crew break into a Raw Blue processing facility to liberate some high-end ship parts and other equipment. Of course the Raw Blue will attract the Purge, and they’ve brought an Annihilator! To play this mission you will need the Dangerous Days book, Purge Outbreak Expansion, Purge Reinforcements Booster, and the Black Star Rising expansion.

Rescue on Daedalus

In this mission, the Traders have been hired to board the Daedalus, a derelict space ship, and find a data-chip left on board.

When they arrive they find that the chip’s owner, a diplomat named Butler, is still alive, and they take advantage of the chance to rescue him and reap the rewards!

Rogue Trader

In this mission, the Traders have turned bounty hunters, commissioned by the GCC to track down a rogue trader selling defective weaponry on the black market. Civilian injuries are being reported, but more importantly these defects are bad PR for the arms manufacturers…

Role Reversal

To complete this mission, you will need to infiltrate a Purge base and rescue a Galactic Corps director who has been inexplicably abducted by the Purge. To play this mission you will need the Purge: Outbreak Expansion, a Medical Research Lab, and a Purge Reinforcements Booster.

Rough and Tumble

Your crew were hoping for a leisurely weekend on board a pleasure ship. Unfortunately, like everywhere else in the galaxy these days, the Purge had other ideas! The impact of the Purge attack has set the ship spinning on its axis. Your ship’s airlock has become disconnected and the artificial gravity is intermittent. You’d better get out quick!

Sabotage at MegaCorp

A rival corporation has tipped you off that MegaCorp is working on some dangerous new technology, and your job is to infiltrate their research facility and destroy it. If nothing else it sounds like a perfect opportunity for some looting! This mission requires the Black Star Rising and Galactic Corps expansions to play.

Shopping Spree

Instead of the Trade Phase after the game where you can buy and sell items, this mission IS the Trade Phase! One of your contacts has given you a shopping list, and you’ll need to grab everything and get it back to them for a priceless reward.

The Lost Action Hero

Theta Station is under attack by the Purge and Captain Teelac the only one close enough to save its inhabitants. The more people he can save with his thrilling heroics, the more people can go on to tell his story as the Hero of Theta!

The Secret of Sector 14

This mission focuses on the Rogue Purge. Your task is to break into a high security prison and rescue a crimelord, but he’s not the only one behind bars… To break him out you’ll need to get past the ‘experiments’ roaming the board, but if you’re lucky you may be able to grab some unique Purge tech on your escape!

The Titan Accord

This mission uses a double-sized map and incorporates the Medical Research Lab, Shootout at Zed’s, Purge Outbreaks expansions.

Underworld Infiltration

You may think gangers are squishier than the Purge so it doesn’t sound like much of a challenge, but there’s a catch. You’re in their territory, and you’re heavily outnumbered from the start. You’ll need to stay cool and try to avoid detection as you search the area for some important documents.
This mission requires the Shootout at Zed’s expansion.

Havoc & Gangers

A pirate gang have sent you on a rescue mission – their captain has been apprehended by the Galactic Corps and you’ll need to break them out! There is a very rare and powerful weapon up for grabs if you can manage it. This mission requires the Shootout and Zed’s and Galactic Corps expansions to play.

Hull Breach!

A solo mission and this mission is playable using just the starter set. The Purge have pierced a hole in the hull of a school based on a space station. Your job is to board the station and rescue the students before they get sucked into space, or suffer an even worse fate at the hands of the Purge!
