+Rounds usually last for an hour or two and they either end when the [[Escape Shuttle|escape shuttle]] gets called or when the ship reaches [[Outpost 45]]. If the shuttle was called it becomes your job to get on board the shuttle or an [[Escape pod]] and escape alive while the ship is exploding. But if the crew has successfully managed to complete the patrol, the ship can safely fly to the outpost (assuming the coast is clear) where the round will end automatically.

 The game takes place on a fully destructable space station which is in orbit of a nearby gas giant.
-The primary purpose of the station is to research a newly discovered material called [[Plasma]]. Unfortunately [[Nanotrasen]], the megacorp which owns [[Space Station 13]] is not the only corporation interested in this mysterious new substance. Dealing with the threats posed by the many enemies of Nanotrasen becomes an important part of the daily lives of the crew.

-The game begins in the game lobby where you can customize your character and select which job you would like him to have. [[Jobs]] range from the [[captain]], to the [[Chain of Command|heads of staff]], to [[Station Engineer|engineers]], [[Medical Doctor|medical doctors]], [[Scientist|scientists]], [[Security Officer|security officers]], [[Atmospheric Technician|atmospheric technicians]], the [[chef]], [[bartender]] as well as the occasional [[clown]] to lighten the mood.

 When the round begins you spawn with a job title. Now it is up to you to play with that job, doing all sorts of tasks. Each job has endless replay value. The game has an incredibly large number of systems, subsystems, and mechanics for limitless amounts of fun.
-While you spawned with your fancy job title, someone else spawned as something much more special. Each of the game modes, excluding [[Game_Mode#Extended_Role-Playing|Extended]], has some sort of antagonist whose job it is to cause you problems. These antagonists usually have objectives which range from stealing a specific item to the assassination of a crew member or even the complete overthrowing of the ship. Different antagonist types have different ways of doing this.
