Fate itself seems to have chosen you as the savior of humanity. The destiny of the Revenant—whether it shall become the foundation of a new civilization—rests in your hands. Yet know this: it is not yours alone to decide. You and your fellow Admirals may share a noble ambition to secure a new home for us, but it is clear that only one among you will rise as the supreme authority in a hopeful future.

In Revenant, players compete for Prestige , which is mainly earned from having Influence with the seven Great Houses. Houses with high Power reward you more, as the Power of each House is multiplied by your Influence with them. Part of this Influence is public and known to other players but you also acquire Hidden Influence to surprise your opponents. Additional Prestige comes from completing your secret Agendas, training your Captain and Cadets, upgrading your Frigate, or cleansing the fleet and your Crew of Corruption.
