Project Athena is the first expansion of Last Aurora. The Project Athena, the first sentient artificial intelligence, decided to rebel against her creators activating the nuclear missile launch sequence, that led to the complete devastation of the planet, triggering the glaciation that today afflicts the few survivors. Players have lost the Aurora and have to cross a new map fighting with Athena, the A.I. which destroyed the planet.
The game introduces new cards and mechanics: a new type of survivor, the Android; a new type of enemy, the Automatic turret; a new amazing resource, the Nuclear battery, which allows to activate unique power on convoy cards; the Energy Weapons, that work as the standard ones, but consume one Fully-charged battery instead of an Ammo to fire; the Alert mechanic, which represents the attention each player has from Athena's Armies, which influence many aspects of the game.
