About the event

Ready for the intergalactic chase?

A super villain named Draeger escaped from a maximum security prison, formed his own evil squad, and convinced the Intergalactic Federal Government to work for him! You are a group of misfits that came together under unlikely circumstances, each with their own hacking “superpowers” and past with Draeger...

Get ready to travel the universe on your spaceship in pursuit of proving Draeger is a criminal and getting answers for your personal stories.

"Awesome challenges! I’ve learned a ton last year by playing Cyber Apocalypse CTF.
