Thermal Driven Outflow event chain (id 1020 - 1022)
Thermal Driven Outflow
Please help with verifying or updating this infobox. It was last verified for version 3.7. |
Closer inspection of the platform orbiting [star name] has revealed that it is of a complex, somewhat erratic, alien design. The waterproofed machinery and advanced climate control suggest it was built for a lifeform that secreted a rich amount of fluids, very likely of the molluscoid variety.
Before falling into disrepair, microwave beams were used to heat regions of the star's atmosphere, provoking large sustained eruptions that increased the solar wind outflow significantly. The energy was then harvested with an orbital mine.
The platform is designed around some highly experimental concepts.

Playing with Fire
Please help with verifying or updating this infobox. It was last verified for version 3.7. |
After extensive repairs the platform has been brought online and the star is now hurling massive amounts of energy into the cosmos. But the journey there has not been without its hurdles.
When the giant microwave beams were first activated, the engineers nearly set off a chain reaction that could have ended in a solar eruption so massive it would have blasted the platform and all system planets out of existence. As it turns out, the ancient alien blueprints and manuals were riddled with miscalculations so severe that the platform would have been inoperable.
Luckily the mistakes were caught in time, the strength of the beams has since been calibrated, and the solar wind outflow has been stabilized.

Molluscoid Microwave Beams
Please help with verifying or updating this infobox. It was last verified for version 3.7. |
It did not take the crew of the [science ship name] long to conclude that the design of the star platform was, in Science Officer [scientist name]'s own words, the work of madmen. The microwave beams were crude, miscalibrated, and would have needed much refinement before they would work as intended. However, they soon proved to make excellent weapons.
OR if all lasers technologies researched:
Our attempt to weaponize the Molluscoid microwave beams has failed... spectacularly. On activation, it turned out that the design of the beams was faulty beyond comprehension and the science crew only narrowly escaped the platform as it exploded in a magnificent mushroom-shaped display of scientific failure.

Bunker-Bot
Please help with verifying or updating this infobox. It was last verified for version 3.11. |
We have traced the unusual electromagnetic radiation emanating from [planet name] to a secret subterranean bunker hiding a mega-computer the size of a battleship.
Our researchers suspect that it may have been there for several thousand years, hard at work solving a single very complex problem, the nature of which still eludes us.
When the crew attempted to interact with the computer they discovered that the facility, which had appeared both abandoned and unguarded, was in fact operated by a security AI, the highest purpose of which seems to be frying its visitors alive. As the crew defeated the AI, it broadcasted a message to an unknown recipient.

Silent Shout
Please help with verifying or updating this infobox. It was last verified for version 3.10. |
We have discovered the fossilized remains of a gargantuan gastropod, matching no previously encountered lifeform, trapped within a huge block of ice circling [From.GetName]. Its eyes glare fiercely ahead, tentacles reared and muzzle twisted into a gruesome grimace, as if locked in a silent shout. The creature displays no apparent signs of sapience.
The following description added if:
- Has the Cloning technology
- Despite its eerie visage, our scientists believe that if domesticated the creature could make a valuable asset. They recommend extracting some of its DNA for cloning.
The following description added if:
- Does not have the Cloning technology
- Unfortunately we currently lack the technology to bring it back to life.
Trigger conditions:

Azizians
Please help with verifying or updating this infobox. It was last verified for version 3.10. |
We have successfully cloned a healthy population of gargantuan slugs from the fossilized DNA. They reached maturity within weeks, weighing up to 20 tons, and have developed a primitive level of sapience, responding to simple one-syllable commands. Though they have yet to show any violent tendencies, they produce a thick, toxic mucus when vexed, and their hue seems to shift with their mood. The research team has named them 'Azizians' for the hissing sounds with which they communicate among themselves.
Trigger conditions:
| Is triggered only by:

They will make excellent laborers.
They belong in a Zoo.
We could use them in the army. "Who would not want an army of murderous slugs with which to crush their enemies?"
They are horrendous. Dispose of them NOW!

Azizians on the loose!
Please help with verifying or updating this infobox. It was last verified for version 3.10. |
The Azizian gastropods kept in the Zoo on [Root.GetName] have broken out and gone on a rampage! The creatures, who were believed to have reached full maturity, continued to grow in captivity and have since reached monstrous proportions. They tore through the city, knocking over buildings like game pieces, leaving in their wake a trail of bright yellow toxic mucus. The planet will never be the same again.

The Azizian laborers on [Root.GetName] have developed full sapience. The creatures, who were believed to have already reached full maturity, were in fact still spawn and are only now, in adulthood, reaching their full potential. They have picked up our language and wish to remain here in our civilization.

Following our recent breakthrough within the field of cloning, our scientists have brought the alien DNA extracted from a presumably extinct alien, found within an ice slab, out from storage. Restoring the mysterious organism to life has been a long-lasting dream for the department, now made possible through the miracle of science.

Shattered World
Please help with verifying or updating this infobox. It was last verified for version 3.7. |
Among the debris we have discovered the shattered remains of a formerly habitable planet. The patterns of fragmentation and charring on the shards suggest it was blasted with concentrated beams of thermal energy until it cracked from the pressure. This allowed for the mineral-rich core to spill out and solidify into clumps of high-quality minerals.

Nefri's Pride
Please help with verifying or updating this infobox. It was last verified for version 3.7. |
The armed vessel discovered in orbit of [asteroid name] is an abandoned military spacecraft called Nefri's Pride. Its light frame and evasion hardware suggest it was built for long-distance patrol missions, but it has since been retrofitted into a long-range stealth bomber.
Records of the ship's comms reveal it was hijacked by a rebel guerilla on its way to perform a strike against a secret complex called the Xvan labs, said to hold a weapon so powerful it could win them the war, when they were shot down. We have extracted the ship's destination from its navigational drive.

Invisible Death

Our scientists have returned from the Xvan labs unscathed with footage collected from the facility's security cameras. It shows lab scientists bound and gagged as guerilla soldiers pry open the weapon strongbox. But to their dismay, the box is empty.
Only minutes later the rebels can be seen writhing on the floor in intense agony, dark patches swelling across their bodies, then their skin rips and a gray unidentifiable matter spills out.
The matter continues to expand, swirling hypnotically around them, until one of the scientists activates the emergency system. Sprinklers douse the room in liquid and an electrical surge passes through it executing all living things. Here the footage ends. Our crew can confirm that the strong box was indeed empty.

Stranded Scientist
Please help with verifying or updating this infobox. It was last verified for version 3.7. |
The wreckage on the asteroid [asteroid name] is the remains of a vessel belonging to a now-stranded scientist - [new scientist name] - identifying herself as belonging to the hitherto-unknown [new scientist species] species.
From amidst the wreckage she somehow managed to contact [investigating scientist], the Science Officer stationed aboard the [science ship name], and is requesting to be rescued. She explains that her collision was due to malfunctioning navigational sensors, and that she has been unable to leave the asteroid for several years.
She claims her scientific knowledge to be without equal, and that she would be a valuable asset. She points to her survival as proof of that.

Breathing Rift event chain (id 3060 - 3064)
Breathing Rift
Please help with verifying or updating this infobox. It was last verified for version 3.7. |
The anomaly found close by [star name], however unlikely, appears to be some type of rift in space. It's possible the great mass of [star name] somehow caused it, but its nature is beyond our understanding.
The rift not only refracts and blocks light, but seems to actually draw it in and then push it out, repeatedly - as if it were breathing photons.
It is likely the immense gravitational pull of the rift has at some point inhaled in other things, as well. We should exercise caution.
