Every Second Counts: 2 completions
On a heavily populated planet near our homeworld, a scientist of great renown has called for a meeting to show the galaxy her new technology. Unfortunately, it will take us at least two weeks to get there and it starts in only 8 days! Lets put together some top of the line hyperdrives and get there before the unveiling.
Reward: Quicksilver Hyperdrive (module, size 15, +70 defense) It looks like a bright silver cylinder with a cut out of the side revealing a bright yellow rod in the center. On the far end is multiple cords and indicator lights hooked up to the other quarter of the machine.

Disaster Strikes: 3 completions
We get there on time to find the whole planet suddenly collapsed into a spacial rift. All ships in the quadrant have been called to search the remains for any survivors. Maybe we'll find some clues into this devastating event.
Reward: Void Engine (module, size 7, +25 defense +10 energy), it looks like a dark grey steel cone with white and black brackets along it's frame and a dark blue disk in the rim of the open end.

Into the Void: 1 completion
The modules we found are like no other technology we have ever seen... Whether it was the doctor's invention or the work of something else, the answers are on the other side of that rift. Proceed with caution.
Reward: unlock "Meet the Neighbors"
Risks: spacial flux (major damage, based on level, very uncommon)

Meet the Neighbors: 5 completions
We have stumbled into a parallel universe! It is almost exactly like our own, so our ship must appear normal to them. However our scans are picking up massive dark energy reactions in the surrounding space. The light seems to be drained from all the color, as if something used it all up. Some odd ships are following us... Alert! They are moving in to attack!
Reward: Void Vindicator Squadron (NPC battle, 3 player elite), The squadron looks like a pack of shadowy fighter ships that are built to look like black smoke. Their ability is Void Missile that lowers your attack, defense, and scan by 10%. They drop the Void Missiles as an artifact (produces the same effect, looks like a black disarming bomb with white stripes) with a chance to drop a Vindicator Beam Cannon (looks like a laser cannon with a darker undertone and spikes, size 5, +20 attack, limit 3 per ship)

The Hidden Truth: 5 completions
Now that we know they are openly hostile to us, we must learn more of this new threat. Raiding their outposts and hacking their terminals should give us the answer, and if it brings the attention of their cruisers then you better be ready.
Reward: Research (small amount, uncommon), Void Executioner (NPC battle, 10 player boss), It looks like a Reaver Warship from Serenity (Movie based on Firefly). They drop one of 5 items: Cyber Void Trap (artifact, 3 week hack trap, same effect as the mission risk, looks like a black orb entangled in bright steel rings), Void Totem Trap (artifact, 1 week planet trap, automatically fluxes a planet if it is attacked, looks like a obsidian statue of a faceless being), Void Monolith (size 2 building, 1 per planet, +70 cloak +2 artifact +50 population, it looks like the monolith from 2010: a Space Odyssey), Trap Silencer (player ship artifact, prevents your ship from triggering traps for 1 hour), Executioner Command Bridge (module, size 12, only 1 per ship, +40 attack +40 defense, looks like a dark ship bridge with red and yellow lights, complete with captains chair)
Risk: enemy counter attack (medium damage, common), Void Trap (reduces player scan and cloak to 50% for 3 hours, rare)

The Planet Eater: 3 completions
From what the data has revealed, the races of the other universe were preparing an invasion. What is worse, they were invading to feed our galaxy to an ancient and unspeakable evil that they worship. We know now that the famous scientist discovered the beginnings of the rift, and was trying to close it for good. If all our ships can work together the combined effect will shut the void. Time to finish her work and stop the invasion.
Reward: Void Suppressor (size 10, + 50 scan +10 cloak), looks like a group of antenna sitting in the middle of a satellite disk, all of it bright white.

Cool....I would love to play this mission chain! I should think of my own mission chain...

I like this mission chain, even gives you cool stuff with each completion. I hope dan see's this and go's with the idea.

Yeah I like the chain. Very cool modules and ideas. Hope Dan looks into it or comes up with just as cool of one.

Well, we haven't had interdimensional invaders. The core idea would be cool for a nice long saga.
