NETWORK STATION — Mission Posting

What it is

A contract card visible on the mission board when the player launches from the NETWORK STATION hub. It pairs the planet’s identity with a hiring faction, a positively-framed objective, a difficulty tier, and an in-fiction payout line. Selecting the card commits the player to a run on NETWORK STATION with the posting’s objective tuning and extraction-timer applied.
