Z level of the station is all of the stations territory and its surrounding space

Nuclear disk automatically teleports on a random tile on the station if it leaves the Z level, this is to prevent Captains hiding it god-knows-where in the eternal space void

Ascension is the final step of heretic development, granting massive powers and giving heretic a greentext

Even after ascending, becoming extremely powerful, and getting the greentext - heretic can still die. But killing ascended heretic is challenging, so you're better off preventing ascension in the first place

Fugutives are antagonists which are group of escapees with a mission to not get caught by hunters/security

Fugutives are not traditional antagonists by default, because of that they can't just murder people. Although if those people are in the way of their freedom - then Waldo might get violent

Hunters are antagonists tasked with capturing all fugutives

Hunters are too not allowed to kill anyone besides fugutives, although they're better off getting them alive. But most of the times they will hit at least half of the crew in collateral

Head of Personnel although being the closest person to the Captain - can be an antagonist. Being an antagonist as HoP is extremely easy, as you can grant access to almost anywhere on the station! And if there is no captain or he dies - you become the acting captain and seize all of the power on the station!

By the default configs captain cannot become an antagonist, although on rare occassions he can become Obssesed, Abducted, or his mindshield removed so he can be converted into cult. Also don't forget that acting Captains are heads with captain access, and most heads can be antagonists

In the past detective could've became an antagonist on TG, but later it was removed due balancing reasons. Turns out having an bad guy in the department with the objective of fighting bad guys is not very balanced

Skeletons pirates are the most powerful pirates out of them all, not only they're undead and don't need anything an organic being need to do, but they also have deck cannons which they can shoot at station! As such recently they've became an heavy midround antag, this means they have bigger weights then other pirates. Also fun fact: Psykers are blind.

Chemical types make blob more powerful in one way and weaker in the other. For example: Blazing Oil makes blob deal massive burn damage, set targets on fire and become fire immune, but the downside is that blob gets damaged by water. Knowing what every type does is a powerful knowledge

What antagonists should be neutralized before crew can leave the station?

Revenant is a midround ghost antgonist with the mission of terrorising crew
