[REDACTED] Colony Threat
« on: April 21, 2024, 08:06:39 AM »

So, I had an idea for a [REDACTED] colony threat...


Minor Event
We are detecting unauthorized deep space transmissions from one of our colonies. The communications are heavily encrypted and we are unable to determine their purpose.
Contributing Factors
Monthly Factors:
Rogue AI Core in colonised system* (+++)
Domain Era Comms Relay in colonised system (++)
Comms Relay in colonised system (+)
Alpha Core Administrator (---)

One Time Factors:
Remnant Nexus destroyed (--)
Remnant Ships destroyed (-)

Note: Event will not trigger in the absence of a Rogue AI core
[close]
A single none-hostile Remnant ship enter your system, orbits your colony for a short duration and leaves:
If the Remnant ship reaches your planet and is allowed to leave, the Rogue AI Core condition is removed from your colony and nothing else happens. Crisis Averted. Colony Threat reduced.
If the Remnant ship is not successful the Rogue AI Core condition is not removed from your colony and the threat continues...

Major Event
The deep space transmissions emanating from our colony have ceased. This indicates one of two things, whoever is behind them has either completed their objective or that something is about to happen.

A Remnant fleets enter your system. If one of them reaches your colony they will perform a tactical bombardment of the planet before leaving:
If the Remnant fleet is successful and leaves the planet, the Rogue AI Core condition is removed from your colony. Crisis over.
If the Remnant fleet is unsuccessful and the Rogue AI Core condition is not removed from your colony the event will repeat. Remnant fleets will now attempt to perform Saturation Bombardments and the number and size of Remnant fleets will increase with each failed attempt.

What do we get if we've won? The core returns and surrenders itself perhaps.
