What are Ship Modules?

Passive Stratagem Upgrades

Ship Modules give permanent passive upgrades to Stratagems when bought. These are always active for your character, but won't affect your squad unlike Boosters.

There are 18 different Ship Modules, all of which are unlocked using Samples. Some modules require purchasing other modules before they can be purchased.
