Danger from Space
Quest Danger from Space
Objective(s)

Build and Upgrade:

Reward(s)

"A gigantic asteroid is headed for our planet! We need to find a way to save mankind from annihilation!"

"Scientists have discovered an enormous stellar object approaching our planet. Preliminary analysis of its trajectory indicates a high probability of impact!"

"We need to precisely calculate the trajectory of the asteroid's path. If the risk of an impact is confirmed, we'll need to find a way to divert the asteroid from its dangerous course!"

Danger from Space is a timed Quest in which the player has 192 hours to build and upgrade a total of 2 areas and 3 buildings with assets leading up to space-related rewards. It was released as part of 07.19.2013[1] update and was preceded by the related Fall of a Meteorite quest and followed by the Operation Cosmic Shield quest.

Requirements
