Councilors

Council view

Councilors are a faction's primary proxies on Earth and may also go to space to advance its interests there. Factions may initially have four councilors but certain projects allow them to expand the size of their council to six. Their primary role is to perform Missions on behalf of their faction.

Periodically, the game will enter the assignment phase, during which all factions will assign their councilors to missions. These missions will be resolved in a random sequence over the next few weeks. While some missions are automatically successful, most require a success roll. Missions can target nations, control points, habitats, and other councilors.

Factions can recruit councilors by spending Influence. Each month there is a new group of potetial recruits to choose from. You can also turn councilors from other factions to work for you.

The name and appearance of recruired councilors can be changed at any time.
