Organizing resistance and convincing some Expeditions on several planets to join your cause can be a challenging task. However, as long as life exists, it is worth defending.

To gain people's heart and push back the Legion invasion, there are few things that you could do.

In that case, unleash the power of Starlink and vanquish the Legion to increase your vision!
