Reassuring, isn't it.

Theater of Operations
95 missions across two worlds. Difficulty never resets between campaigns.
Project Black Gold was supposed to make oil in the Permian. It opened the Breach instead. The Guard already has the perimeter; SIG's job is everything inside it: the wells, the pipelines, the refinery, and the hole itself. 25 missions.
No trip home. The far side of the Breach is a Hive staging ground, and SIG holds a forty-eight-hour lease on it. Push across a living world, through the nests, and into a war that was already running before you arrived. 35 missions.
The machines have been mining something called Kheprium, and Buck would like it back, whoever owned it first. Foundries, defense grids and assembly lines stand in the way. Extract anyway. It's in the contract. 35 missions.
