  • Story Mode: six faction campaigns focused on leaders fighting the Neo Abyssloa Empire (NIS America Introduction).
  • Mission Mode: select from 24 nations, each with unique objectives and short stories featuring characters from that nation (NIS America System).

Many characters never appear in your current Story campaign but are in the full 76-profile index because they belong to other nations in Mission Mode. Read Mission Mode for nation objectives and completion milestones.
