Scanner Selection Shape

“Commander” Cursor Option

“Commander” Selection Box

Player Avatar Icons

• Separate yourself from the pack and demonstrate your commitment to your favorite faction with two additional player icons for your avatar. Choose between key figures in the campaign–Dr. Francis from the GDF and Aleks from the Dynasty–and remind yourself of where your loyalties lie.

“Commander” Main Menu Backdrop

About This Game

Other dangers wait in the shadows, as the origin of the Tempest is revealed...
