Periodically, the game will enter the mission phase, during which all factions will secretly assign their councilors to missions. These missions will be resolved in a sequence over the next few days or weeks. While some missions are automatically successful, most are contested and require a success roll. Missions typically target nations, regions, control points, space facilities, and other councilors.
Periodically, the game will enter the mission phase, during which all factions will secretly assign their councilors to missions. These missions will be resolved in a sequence over the next few days or weeks. While some missions are automatically successful, most are contested and require a success roll. Missions typically target nations, regions, control points, space facilities, and other councilors.


Between mission phases, missions resolve in a partially predetermined order, denoted by the number of small clock symbols visible in the mission description. Uncontested and defensive missions trigger earlier than contested ones. When two councilors are attempting the same mission, the one with the higher primary attribute used in calculating the mission success chance goes first.
Each mission type has a resolution order between 0 and 4 inclusive, denoted by the number of small clock symbols visible in the mission description. Between mission phases, missions resolve in sequence from smallest resolution order to largest. In the case of ties, uncontested missions resolve first in some random order, then the contested missions resolve in order from highest mission success chance to lowest. The sequence of mission resolutions is determined immediately after the missions are assigned, so any mid-phase changes to the mission success chances have no effect on the sequence order.

For contested missions, the success chance is determined by adding all the relevant bonuses and maluses for a particular mission, and the faction conducting the mission may spend resources to improve its chance of success. If the bonuses and maluses add up to zero, the success chance is 50 percent; otherwise, each point in one direction has a decreasingly powerful impact on the outcome. See [[Roll]] for details. Changing conditions on Earth can modify success chances between the mission assignment phase and the mission resolution. Game [[difficulty]] also gives a bonus/penalty to all contested rolls between the player faction and an AI faction.
! Mission !! Cost !! Success XP !! width=75% | Effect
 
When a contested mission resolves, a random number between 0% and 100% inclusive is generated and rounded down to the nearest 0.1%; if it is less than or equal to the success chance, the mission is a success; otherwise it fails. Results that are less than 10% of the success chance mark a critical success, which typically offers bonuses over a normal success; results in the top 10% of the range of possible failure values are a critical failure and have worse consequences.
 
Contested missions have a variable cost.
 
Each mission name is a link to a more detailed mission page. Noise, Hate, and XP values in the table assume the mission outcome is a normal success.

Periodically, the game will enter the mission phase, during which all factions will secretly assign their councilors to missions. These missions will be resolved in a sequence over the next few days or weeks. While some missions are automatically successful, most are contested and require a success roll. Missions typically target nations, regions, control points, space facilities, and other councilors.

Each mission type has a resolution order between 0 and 4 inclusive, denoted by the number of small clock symbols visible in the mission description. Between mission phases, missions resolve in sequence from smallest resolution order to largest. In the case of ties, uncontested missions resolve first in some random order, then the contested missions resolve in order from highest mission success chance to lowest. The sequence of mission resolutions is determined immediately after the missions are assigned, so any mid-phase changes to the mission success chances have no effect on the sequence order.

Contested missions

For contested missions, the success chance is determined by adding all the relevant bonuses and maluses for a particular mission, and the faction conducting the mission may spend resources to improve its chance of success. If the bonuses and maluses add up to zero, the success chance is 50 percent; otherwise, each point in one direction has a decreasingly powerful impact on the outcome. See Roll for details. Changing conditions on Earth can modify success chances between the mission assignment phase and the mission resolution. Game difficulty also gives a bonus/penalty to all contested rolls between the player faction and an AI faction.

When a contested mission resolves, a random number between 0% and 100% inclusive is generated and rounded down to the nearest 0.1%; if it is less than or equal to the success chance, the mission is a success; otherwise it fails. Results that are less than 10% of the success chance mark a critical success, which typically offers bonuses over a normal success; results in the top 10% of the range of possible failure values are a critical failure and have worse consequences.

Contested missions have a variable cost.

Each mission name is a link to a more detailed mission page. Noise, Hate, and XP values in the table assume the mission outcome is a normal success.
