Like The Ambassadors expansion, this box contains components to support a fifth and sixth player as well. As an expansion, it requires the base game to play.
The box contains 46 special location cards (some with alternate artwork), The Infestation Conflict set (12 cards + tokens), The Relocation Conflict set (12 cards), 6 objective cards, alien race cards (Debos, Nyxtos, Ludons), ambassador cards (Ludons, Revuarz), the 6-card Alliance Inspection mini-expansion, 7 reactors cards, and additional components to support the fifth and six players.
