A team of '''Syndicate operatives''' has been sent on a '''mission to completely destroy the station with a nuclear bomb'''. However, they must get the [[Nuclear Authentication Disk]] from the station itself in order to arm the bomb, and the crew (or at least the captain) will be doing everything in their power to stop the attackers from getting the disk. The operatives have access to [[Syndicate_Items#Uplink|uplinks]] (containing most normal traitor items as well as high-profile operative weapons) and [[pinpointer|Pinpointers]] that will allow them to hunt for the Disk.

Similar to, but unaffiliated with Cults, '''heretics''' can advance upon '''unique ability trees''' by sacrificing crew members. With access to the paths of '''rust, ash and flesh''', they can choose to specialize in different abilities, building towards their eventual '''ascension'''.

===[[File:Darkspawn.png]] [[Darkspawn]]===
Darkspawn is an Antagonist that plays in a very similar fashion to the shadowling; you start disguised as a normal crewmember with the ability to reveal your true form, gaining access to new abilities and mechanics which will facilitate reaching your ultimate goal of ascending through the Sacrament.

No antagonists spawn, but the crew gets objectives to build high-tech constructions requiring the cooperation of the whole station. These [[Goals#Station_Goals|Station Goals]] include a bluespace artillery position, a station shield or a DNA vault. Unless it is forced by an admin, this mode will only appear when there is not enough players for any other gamemode in rotation.

===Dynamic===
The dynamic game mode generates a threat number which is used to "buy" rulesets (rulesets are basically your antagonists). This means you can have rounds with for example traitors and cult. You can have multiple rulesets depending on the pop and threat level. There are latejoin and midround rulesets as well; The ''latejoin'' ruleset can assign late joining players as antagonists, and the ''midround'' ruleset assigns (prompts) ghosts or currently living players as antagonists.
The threat level of the dynamic round is hinted by the "status summary" automatically printed by the communication consoles near roundstart:
*Peaceful Waypoint: Threat 0 to 19, no antagonists alive
*Core Territory: 0 to 19, with antagonists
*Anomalous Exogeology: 20 to 39
*Contested System: 40 to 65
*Uncharted Space: 66 to 79
*Black Orbit: 80 to 99
*Impending Doom: 100
Currently, there are five gamemodes excluded from what can be picked as a roundstart ruleset, which are [[Revolution|revolutionaries]], [[#Monkey|monkey mode]], [[#Clown Operatives|clown ops]], [[Gang War|gang war]], and [[#Extended|extended]], due to some conflicting mechanics when introduced with other antagonists.

Monkey mode has undergone many iterations, and is now run as a rare admin-forced gamemode rather than in rotation.
Monkey mode has undergone many iterations, but is incredibly outdated and nigh unusable in its current state.

===Dynamic===
The dynamic game mode generates a threat number which is used to "buy" rulesets (rulesets are basically your antagonists). This means you can have rounds with for example traitors and cult. You can have up to three roundstart rulesets depending on the pop and threat level. Then there are latejoin and midround rulesets. The ''latejoin'' ruleset can assign late joining players as antagonists, and the ''midround'' ruleset assigns (prompts) ghosts or currently living players as antagonists.

Meteors can be a random event occurring in game, but otherwise are admin-only due to the predictability of most meteor rounds and that meteor rounds are very short. That, or you have a case of "We can fix it", or everyone migrating to lavaland. Also turns the server into one huge laggy mess.

===[[File:Sword.gif|32px]] Overthrow===
The Syndicate has planted sleeper agents on board the station, and one agent with a special implanter is tasked to wake them up so that they can take control from the inside. However, rival Syndicate factions are also trying to wake these sleeper agents for their own objectives. Convert all the targets to gain control of the station!
'''Game Ending Conditions:'''
*When the Emergency Shuttle docks at Central Command.
*The team that gained the most points by completing their objectives wins.
'''Reason For Exclusion:'''
A horribly confusing game mode that was unclear in its points system, unclear on the relationship between the other Syndicate teams, and numerous other issues. It was disliked by much of the player base and the creator does not show interest in working on it.

===[[Nations]]===
Nations is an unorthodox game mode that relies almost entirely upon roleplaying, because of this it's very rare and devolves into fighting quickly. In Nations, departments become independent states and it is their goal to survive through control of station resources, diplomacy, and battle.
