Ionics OXP

The Ionics OXP aims to enhance the northeast corner of Galaxy 2 with a number of interlocking missions revolving around a rich storyline. The OXP also contains 3 new ships available to the player:

• The Huntsman
• The Redback
• The Whitetail

The organisations featured in the OXP are:

• The Link, a clandestine organisation that aspires to rid the known Ooniverse of oppressive regimes.
• The Ramaza Liberation Front, a rebel group opposing the Ramazan government's reign.
• The Ionics Corporation, an aerospace group based in Zaria.
