This random event occurs in:



A heavily damaged Federation ship is hiding in the nebula at this beacon. Before you have time to make contact with them, they fade into the nebula.

  1. Attempt to follow and help them.
    • You get lucky and find them floating not too deep into the nebula. Thrilled to be found by friendlies, they come on board and abandon their wrecked ship.
      • You receive a crewmember.
    • While searching fruitlessly through the nebula, you stumble upon the rebel ship which the Federation loyalists were likely hiding from. You prepare for a fight.
    • Your search is hopeless. Your sensors can't pick up anything in the nebula.
      • Nothing happens.
  2. Keep your position, they can handle themselves.
    • Nothing happens.
  3. (Teleporter) Lock onto their life-signs with your teleporter.
    • You beam the Federation crew aboard. One gladly joins your crew, the rest wait to be dropped off at the next station.
      • You receive a crewmember and medium scrap.
  4. (Long-ranged Scanner) Pump extra power into your sensors and try to track them.
    • You follow the faint signatures and find them floating not too far away into the nebula. Thrilled to be found by friendlies, they come on board and abandon their wrecked ship.
      • You receive a crewmember.
    • Your local radar flickers, periodically showing signs of a large object in the clouds nearby. However it's enough to get coordinates and you find the ship... an empty hull, long since stripped of functioning components.
      • You receive medium scrap.
