It is a series of connected missions in [[StarCitizen:Star Citizen Alpha 3.22.1|Alpha 3.22.1]] leading up to the explosive XenoThreat Global Event in [[StarCitizen:Star Citizen Alpha 3.23.0|Alpha 3.23.0]].<ref name="cl19753">{{Cite RSI|url=https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/transmission/19753-Overdrive-Initiative|text=Overdrive Initiative|accessdate=2024-04-04}}</ref><br />

== Development ==<br />
Overdrive Initative is the fourth iteration of the XenoThreat dynamic events, after the three iterations of [[StarCitizen:Assault on Stanton]] events in [[StarCitizen:Star Citizen Alpha 3.12.1|Alpha 3.12.1]],<ref>{{Cite RSI|url=https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/transmission/17925-Assault-On-Stanton|text=Assault on Stanton|accessdate=2024-04-12}}</ref> [[StarCitizen:Star Citizen Alpha 3.14.0|Alpha 3.14.0]],<ref>{{Cite RSI|url=https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/transmission/18255-XenoThreat-Returns|text=XenoThreat Returns|accessdate=2024-04-12}}</ref> and [[StarCitizen:Star Citizen Alpha 3.16.1|Alpha 3.16.1]].<ref>{{Cite RSI|url=https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/transmission/18510-XenoThreat-For-New-Players|text=XenoThreat for New Players|accessdate=2024-04-12}}</ref> It is an experiment to test quest chains and other player engagement mechanics found in other MMOs.<ref name="isc">[https://youtu.be/lx1D3UeEdQ0 Inside Star Citizen: Initiative Indicative] on YouTube</ref><br />
<br />
== Trivia ==<br />
* It is codenamed as '''Hex Penetrator''' internally. It is an anagram for "Pre XenoThreat" that came up randomly by Mission Designer [[StarCitizen:Lars den Herder]]. It was a temporary codename to circumvent dataminers. However, the other developers started using the codename on documentations and it was too late to change it. [[StarCitizen:Chris Roberts]] laughed about it and told the mission team to change the codename, unfortunately it was forgotten.<ref name="isc"/><br />
