Broken Teleporter Artifact

Our exploration has led us to an artifact of Precursor origin, a device once capable of bending the fabric of spacetime to instantly relocate their vessels to chosen coordinates. Regrettably, the ravages of time have not been kind. The artifact's pinpoint precision has faded into erratic uncertainty - our researchers warn that activation will now result in a random spatial displacement. Nevertheless, this unpredictable characteristic could be tactically advantageous, providing us a means to displace unwelcome fleets into the vast, unknown reaches of space.

Caustic Vapors

{PLANETNAME} has vast reserves of trapped underground gasses. They occasionally erupt and cover city sized areas in grey ash. The vapors are heavy enough that they push all of the oxygen out of the affected region and kill most organic life. Fortunately the vapors have little effect on us and seem a reasonable precaution against the proliferation of organic life. What are your orders?

Sentient Planet

Earthquakes

{PLANETNAME} is tectonically active, with regular earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. On the plus side, this is bringing a lot of valuable minerals up the surface, where it will be far easier to extract. On the downside, a lot of people are being killed by lava. Your engineers think they can stabilize the crust to stop the earthquakes, but the decision on whether to implement it hasn't been made yet. What are your orders?

Swamped

Upon landing on {PLANETNAME}, you quickly realize that it has been inhabited before. Beneath the northern ice, explorers have found a ruined starship with an active Leaching Field module which will reduce the shield strength of enemy ships in battle. Your colonists believe they can extract the module, but the resulting melt will flood much of the arable land on the planet; the climate change will kill most of the unique native species.

The primitive species that occupies {PLANETNAME} was once far more technologically advanced, and accidentally ruined their civilization in some kind of nuclear war several hundred years ago.

There's substantial evidence that much of the plant life on {PLANETNAME} is communicating with each other via pheromones, and that it may in fact be sentient.

Worms

The location of our colony on {PLANETNAME} is apparently the prime hunting grounds for a species of massive, building-sized worms. This is by far the most fertile land on the planet, so we don't want to move if we don't have to. But on the other hand, massive building sized worms. What are your orders?

Strange Fungus

A strange fungus on {PLANETNAME} has begun infecting our colonists with an illness that is immune to our medicine. Although our doctors can treat the symptoms easily enough, they have no hope of finding a cure, and the risk of contagion is high. With this disease afflicting us, our colony will never see its full growth potential. Some argue that we should cull the diseased to protect the rest of the colony. Others, notably the diseased, argue against this. What are your orders?

High-G Animal Racing

Colonists on {PLANETNAME} have taken to breeding and racing a local species of squat, four-legged animals. The harsh gravity of the world makes the races particularly gruelling, and footage of injured animals has caused animal rights activists around the galaxy to demand this barbaric practice be stopped. But it's become a big part of the local culture, and the colonists won't be happy if we end the races. What are your orders?

Alien Cultural Trash

{PLANETNAME} was once the home of an alien civilization which disappeared a thousand years earlier. Although none of their technology is new, many of their entertainment products remain intact, and are of great interest to the colonists. Unfortunately almost all of these shows and programs are incredibly childish and puerile, featuring an unfortunate amount of jokes about orifices.

Aggressive Natives

An aggressive species of sentient quadrupeds live in the forests and hills of {PLANETNAME}. They've resisted all attempts to communicate with them, and have relentlessly attacked your colony since you arrived. Although no actual threat to you militarily, they can harass and easily slaughter unguarded civilians. As is so often the case when the risk of slaughter is non-zero, morale amongst the colonists is low. What are your orders?

Haunted

{PLANETNAME} colonists report a variety of strange disturbances: Doors which open and close on their own, strange lights in the night; a mysterious hole in the ground which screams. Your scientists seem to think the colony might be haunted. "Building on the ruins of a previously failed colony may have been a bad idea," they say. "Also, underneath that colony was another failed colony. Which was built on a graveyard." What are your orders?

Comet

A comet has reentered the solar system of {PLANETNAME} after a fifty year absence, throwing a primitive local species into a frenzy. They apparently worship this regularly returning visitor as a god.

{PLANETNAME} suffers from heavy thunderstorm activity. This is affecting an ancient ruin, revealing it to be a powerful alien artifact capable of drawing and channeling the tremendous energy. Sometimes this energy is channeled into the bodies of anyone standing nearby, with predictably messy consequences.

An increased period of solar activity has caused a species of previously dormant insects to suddenly begin swarming, greatly limiting activity on {PLANETNAME}. Your scientists have developed a sonic screen which can kill the insects, but believe there may also be a way to expand the technology to rid the world of the swarm forever.

And, if we ever need it, we can switch them back to attack mode.

Leftover Robots - Fail

Our attempt to hack into the robots on {PLANETNAME} fails. Instead it triggers the robots to go into an even more aggressive mode where they view us as their primary target. We are still able to maintain our colony on {PLANETNAME}, but if we are ever invaded the invaders will discover a robotic army eager to help them out.

On {PLANETNAME} there is a species of fish which seems to possess a form of collective intelligence. The fish seem to become more intelligent the larger the group they're in.

Animals to Tame

The terrain of {PLANETNAME} has proven very challenging for our conventional ground vehicles. Some colonists have begun capturing and taming a local species of marsupial to use for hopping around between buildings and colonies. The animals are well suited for the work, and don't seem to be suffering, but there have been a few accidents. Animal rights activists across the galaxy are demanding the practice be banned.

{PLANETNAME} has a group of natives who carry relics far more advanced than their primitive technology. Their oral history gives hints that they arrived here from a long journey some hundreds of years earlier.

Food grown on {PLANETNAME} has a distinct taste. Locals don't notice anything unusual, but off-world visitors find it exceedingly strange and even exotic tasting.

The base is filled with advanced technology that could potentially accelerate our research efforts significantly.However, we don't fully undersatnd all of the tech.

+Your flagship's scans of the Artifact anomaly have uncovered something. A map to a nearby dead star that would normally be invisible to our sensors. A structure, hidden within the carcass of the dead star, whispers of the ancient Mithrilar—a civilization whose shadows outlive the stars themselves. Buried in the celestial mausoleum is a device of their making: a conundrum of metal and mystery that hums with forgotten knowledge. Its cryptic mechanisms promise a leap in cognitive prowess, to awaken genius in the minds of our citizens that could transcend the limitations of biology and time.However, the lead archeologist on the crew warns that this technology was almost certainly not meant for our species at our current stage of development and counsels you to not use it.
