Smuggler's Treasure	Our flagship has stumbled upon an abandoned smuggler's hideout, brimming with a treasure trove of riches. The smuggler is nowhere to be seen. We now face a moral dilemma: should we seize this unexpected bounty or respect the unwritten rules of ownership?	Claim the Treasure. 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. Result: A bunch of credits along with a future event.		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	The smuggler, whose treasure we previously encountered, has returned to seek revenge. Enraged by our actions, they have launched a surprise attack against us with a fleet of ships in our territory. We must prepare to face the consequences of our earlier decision.	Defend Against the Attack. It's time to face the smuggler's wrath. We must deploy our defenses and repel their attack. This encounter serves as a harsh reminder that our actions, even in the depths of space, can have unexpected and dangerous repercussions.
New Shield Technology Discovered	Our flagship recovered schematics for a shield module that protects its ship and the rest of its fleet. The design bears no maker's mark.	Add it to our ship designs. Unlocks the Fleet Shield Module and grants the Matryoshka Forge artifact.
Discovery of AI Planetary Monitor Plans<	Your flagship has come across ancient plans for a semi-sentient AI designed to monitor and reduce crime on planets.	Implement the AI Planetary Monitor to reduce crime on a selected planet. By implementing these AI plans, we can significantly reduce crime rates, leading to a safer and more productive colony.	Sell the plans for a substantial amount of credits.	Extract resources from the discovery instead of using the plans.
