Military Tier

Spoiler warning! This article contains spoilers about game progression.

Military Tier is the game's prestige system. Increasing the military tier grants the player various rewards including choosing a Military Perk to unlock, new buildings, software, bosses and other features.

Increasing the military tier will reset all modules to their base level, and all town resources (not including gems and exotic gems) will be lost, but recovered over the length of 4 hours (1 with the exotic skill Trustworthy Trust Fund).
