Key differences from the previous games include: After working for the Heart of Albion alongside Yisha, Plutarch tries to detain Otani - right as the Albion jumpgate sputters back into life.
Yisha Tarren, a Heart of Albion agent, acts as the co-pilot and manages some of the Skunk's systems after she was rescued by Otani. You captain the Pride of Albion / Albion Skunk, a one-of-a-kind multi-purpose corvette that has seen better days after sitting derelict for decades. You are Ren Otani, a starship pilot in the long-isolated Albion system, now controlled by the megalithic Plutarch Corporation. The seventh game in the X-Universe series, X Rebirth takes after the collapse of the Jump Gate network following the Second Terraformer War of X3: Albion Prelude.
