The '''Second Life Resource Drive''' was a group of missions available to players during the [[StarCitizen:Star Citizen Alpha 4.2.1|Alpha 4.2.1]] and [https://robertsspaceindustries.com/en/comm-link/Patch-Notes/20728-Star-Citizen-Alpha-430#9da78b1b Alpha 4.3] patch cycles. [[StarCitizen:Laylani Addison|Imperator Addison]] called upon the four mega-corporations of [[StarCitizen:Stanton system|Stanton]] ([[StarCitizen:Hurston Dynamics]], [[StarCitizen:Crusader Industries]], [[StarCitizen:ArcCorp]], and [[StarCitizen:MicroTech (company)|microTech]]) to gather research materials in an effort to solve the ongoing [[StarCitizen:Regen crisis]]. Players could choose which corporations they wanted to support in this endeavor and received corporation-specific branded rewards for their contributions.<ref>{{Cite RSI|url=https://robertsspaceindustries.com/en/comm-link/transmission/20651-Alpha-421-Race-For-Stanton|text=Alpha 4.2.1: Race for Stanton|accessdate=2025-07-17}}</ref>

==Missions==
Missions are offered and managed by distinct liaison officers for each corporation: [[StarCitizen:Aldus Carmichael]] (Hurston), [[StarCitizen:Denver Samuels]] (Crusader), [[StarCitizen:Ella Tieno]] (ArcCorp), and [[StarCitizen:Aster Remmington]] (microTech).

To begin, players must first complete an introductory mission for the corporation of their choice in order to access any further missions.

The materials required for the missions ([[StarCitizen:copper]], [[StarCitizen:tungsten]], and [[StarCitizen:corundum]]) are not available at trade kiosks due to an Empire-wide shortage. Players may acquire them in a variety of manners:

* '''Hauling:''' Corporations will offer hauling contracts asking players to transport cargo containers to their respective low-orbit stations or landing zones.
* '''Defense:''' Ships carrying the required materials are being attacked and players must defend them long enough so they can repair their damage and continue their journey.
* '''Recovery:''' The cargo has been stolen and must be recovered by players. This can occur either at ground-based outposts, requiring first-person combat, or in space, where the stolen goods will be stored on a ship.
* '''Prospecting:''' Players may choose to mine and refine the required materials, and then deliver them to their respective destinations.

==Rewards==
Players will receive corporation-specific branded rewards when they reach certain milestones, measured in [[StarCitizen:Standard Cargo Unit|SCU]] of contributed or recovered materials:
