The Federation: Piracy expansion is made up of two modules: the Piracy module and the AI Assistant module. Both of them can be played together or separately. The purpose of these modules is to bring more dilemmas to players. They also allow for a new asymmetry decided by the player and not imposed.

The box also contains the Solo mode. The Solo mode can be played with the basic box and also with the 2 modules of the Expansion.
