While reminiscing about their past, {LEADERNAME}, a child of a military family who spent their youth patrolling the vast expanse of the solar system, mentions an artifact they found during their travels. They offer to give this artifact to the cause, believing its latent powers could provide a crucial advantage to our civilization.Our scientists have examined the artifact and discovered that it holds the potential to significantly boost the speed of our ships within our territory. Alternatively, {LEADERNAME} has suggested that they may be able to unlock other potential powers if allowed to keep and study the artifact.

Broken Teleporter Artifact

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.

Choice Outcome
Take the artifact.

Artifact goes to the vault.

Attempt to deconstruct the artifact into its original components.

The valuable elements that make up the artifact will provide us with some instant credits.

  • +100 Credits

Taking the treasure could significantly boost our resources, providing a much-needed advantage. However, this action might attract unwanted attention and could tarnish our reputation among other factions.

  • +500 Credits
  • Anger Pirates
Leave the Treasure Untouched

Respecting the principle of ownership, we choose to leave the treasure untouched. This may uphold our moral and ethical standards, but we miss out on a potentially significant opportunity to enhance our resources.

Smuggler's Revenge

Choice Outcome
We will keep this ship component in mind for future ship designs.

Implementing this technology will provide our fleet with a significant defensive advantage. While it may not withstand sustained assaults, this additional shielding could be the difference in surviving initial enemy strikes, giving us a critical edge in battle.It will be available in the ship designer.

Encounter with the Sleeper Ship

Encounter with the Sleeper Ship

Our flagship has encountered a mysterious sleeper ship drifting through space. Its chambers are filled with alien passengers in cryogenic slumber, on a course set for the deep core of the galaxy. The origin and purpose of their journey remain unknown.

Choice Outcome
Allow the Ship to Continue Its Journey

Respecting the sleeper ship's voyage, we choose to let it continue on its path to the galaxy's core. This decision upholds the sanctity of their mission, whatever it may be, but leaves us with unanswered questions about their origins and destination.

Terminate the Passengers and Salvage the Ship

Choosing to terminate the alien passengers for the sake of salvaging any advanced technology on the sleeper ship is a drastic and morally questionable decision. While it may yield technological gains, it comes with the heavy burden of ending countless alien lives.

  • +30 Research Amount
  • Murdered Sleepers
Awaken the Passengers and Initiate Contact

{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?

Choice Outcome
Warn the colonists and move the colony somewhere less haunted.

Comet

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. Your scientists report that this comet is at least partly artificial, a relic apparently left in the Oort cloud by an advanced species. There may be some salvage potential in it, provided of course that we're willing to kill a god to get it. What are your orders?

Thunderstorms

Thunderstorms

{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. Studying these ruins could prove incredibly valuable, although also dangerous to anyone who has to do it. What are your orders?

Solar Flare

Solar Flare

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. What effects that will have on the ecosystem are as yet unknown. What are your orders?

Leftover Robots

Leftover Robots

{PLANETNAME} was once the home of a fairly advanced alien species that created some extremely long lasting sub-sentient AI systems.

Leftover Robots - Success

Our scientists have been able to take control of the planet's robots on {PLANETNAME}. After that, it is a simple matter to program them to perform subsurface drilling on the planet to reach mineral deposits that were out of the reach of our colonists. 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.

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

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. Your scientists get the impression they're a failed colony which has regressed to pre-industrial levels. It's possible some of their relics could be of interest to your researchers, but they're quite valuable to the natives. What are your orders?

Mutations

Despite the equipment and protocols set up to protect against the massive radiation on {PLANETNAME}, mutations are a fact of life for those who live here. A talented local surgeon believes that the most extreme cases might not be worth the time spent to heal them.
