I’ve had that happen, but … at next game start, it advised me that the expedition is over and the save is now converted to Normal Mode.

6.4 Patch notes
Summary
The Swarm Expedition
- Expedition Twenty-Two, The Swarm, will begin shortly and run for approximately eight weeks.
- Players on the expedition will be assigned into one of three teams of Travellers, and allocated a ship and uniform in their team colours.
- All teams must work together to unlock the final battle. Progress is represented by the construction of the Prismatic Core in the Space Anomaly, as well as displayed in the Mission Log and on the Galactic Atlas website.
- Construction of the Prismatic Core is driven by completing three categories of missions to counteract the Swarm - Purge, Restoration, and Sabotage. Each category has a different impact on the rate and balance of construction.
- The most valuable team will be glorified in the Space Anomaly for all time.
- Rewards include new posters, decals and titles; flags representing your assigned soul fragment; the Direwasp rifle Multi-Tool; the Direwasp Flightpack; and the six-piece Direwasp customisation set.
Swarmer Enemies
- During the expedition, players will encounter two new enemy types: small, agile swarmer ships, and the huge, formidable Hive of Glass boss.
- In all game modes, crashed swarmer ships can now be found on dissonant planets. Crash sites are defended by small but deadly planetary swarmers.
- Buried debris from crashed swarmer ships can now be found on worlds which are both dissonant and contain salvageable scrap.
Stability and Optimisation
- Fixed a rare softlock where the Connecting banner could display indefinitely when viewing the initial frontend screens.

Wow, they’re on it with patches. Need to check whether I can see the prismatic core now. I didn’t know it was a visible thing. I thought the Nexus just disappeared and there’s a floating blue light instead (nothing that I would report as a bug).
Speaking of bugs - in the expedition, I swear, the sounds of landing spaceships have been replaced by flushing toilets. 
Am I the only one? I don’t know how else to put it in words. It sounds like rushing water, but hollow like in a bucket. (A broken sound file, not saying it’s purposefully a toilet sound.)

The colour aura coming off the prismatic core will be your teams colour.
The logo floating in the centre will be your team logo too.
I’ll have to keep an ear out for that, I’ve been mostly playing with my TV on mute while watching stuff/listening to things on my PC.

You are not alone 
The water sound with ships has been an issue for a while. Every player who lands near me brings the sounds of a water landing with them. None of the patches has fixed this…so far

(My group is red)
I guess they’ve changed how it works?
I’d seen people post early during the expedition, photos of their cores, and it was red with their symbol if royals, and green with their symbol if sages. The symbol also used to be red, regardless of faction but the aura would be the teams colour.
Maybe now it just shows who is in first place?
Go weavers!
If you mean its just a big empty space with a floating glowing symbol, then yes this is how its supposed to appear.
The core will return when Polo has built it, they are currently making changes to it to help us have the power to take on the Emperor of Glass. Thats what all these missions are about, researching the threat and sometimes we also give materials to Polo to help with its construction.
