A contract card visible on the mission board when the player launches from the Old Earth 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 Old Earth with the posting’s objective-tuning and extraction-timer applied.

Difficulty mapping
Extraction timer is derived from the difficulty tier. Enemy-count multiplier and weapon-box count are derived from the objective type and stack multiplicatively on top of planet and rarity multipliers.
