This started as a Junker idea but it kind of morphed into something else entirely. The premise is that once a week on this post, James (a hapless Junker unaware that his encryption protocols are improperly configured) will send a communication to his buddy Nugget about a derelict ship he's found. Clues will be in the post as to what is onboard or what kind of ship it is. Because the encryption protocols aren't configured right, he's actually broadcasting it to everyone. Ships will range across the entire spectrum.
Will you blow up the ship to obtain the materials within? Will you tow the ship back to it's rightful owners for a reward? Maybe you'll tow it somewhere to claim it as your own (and maybe do some roleplay to claim it fully). Do you risk hacking it or boarding the ship to fly it yourself? The choice is yours.
Events will happen at 1500 UTC every Saturday. Major TTRPG/D&D style Derelict events will occur on the last Saturday of every month at 1500 UTC as well. Suggestions or offers of help for these mini-events are welcome.
This week, Platypup towed the derelict Dromedary, Mensajero.Rojo, back to Cali Base with Nuclear Devices onboard as well as a Furnace Performance Thruster. Cali Base rewarded him with 1,000,000 credits for bringing the ship back to their base for another attempt at something nefarious. What ship will it be next week? What will it have in it's hold? Keep an eye out to find out!
[06.03.2026 16:27:24] Derelict-Mensajero.Rojo: [A derelict ship difts aimlessly through the void. It's captain dead and the loot onboard, or the ship itself, up for claim.]
[06.03.2026 16:48:02] Derelict-Mensajero.Rojo: [A derelict ship drifts aimlessly through the void. It's captain dead and the loot onboard, or the ship itself, up for claim.]
[06.03.2026 16:48:22] Platypup: what do we have here
[06.03.2026 16:49:01] Derelict-Mensajero.Rojo: [The ship has extensive weapon damage. Sensors indicate Gallic weapon signature residue.]
[06.03.2026 16:49:27] Derelict-Mensajero.Rojo: [A radiological signature is eminating from within the hull.]
[06.03.2026 16:49:30] Platypup: Nuclear devices detected, that's doesn't sound safe
[06.03.2026 16:50:06] Derelict-Mensajero.Rojo: [The engines appear operational but jump gate/hole travel does not seem possible.]
[06.03.2026 16:50:47] Platypup: I bet if I towed this over to Cali that might get me a nice reward. Those outacsts love tributes almost as much as the orange
[06.03.2026 16:52:33] Platypup: Better tractors this one really slow
[06.03.2026 16:52:54] Derelict-Mensajero.Rojo: [The ship stops rotating as the tractor beam reaches the ship.

[06.03.2026 16:57:23] Platypup: that's all I need is to drag a bomb to my new host
[06.03.2026 17:00:27] Derelict-Mensajero.Rojo: Cali Base: Zoner vessel, This is Cali. We have you on our scanners. We're detecting radiological alarms. Submit information.
[06.03.2026 17:01:06] Platypup: Cali Base, I found a transport you may own. Crew appears gone but cargo remains. Please advise?
[06.03.2026 17:01:32] Derelict-Mensajero.Rojo: Cali Base: Approach slowly, we have weapons aimed at you, any funny business and you become scrap.
[06.03.2026 17:02:14] Derelict-Mensajero.Rojo: Cali Base: ID codes verified. Lost Mensajero.Rojo. Lost at the hands of the Gaul bastards.
[06.03.2026 17:02:29] Derelict-Mensajero.Rojo: Cali Base. Seems you've done us a favor Zoner.
[06.03.2026 17:03:01] Platypup: I've gotten pretty good at not becoming scrap Cali, it's in my DNA
[06.03.2026 17:03:26] Derelict-Mensajero.Rojo: Cali Base: Well, you never know out in these parts with Bretonia and whoever else sniffing around.
[06.03.2026 17:03:47] Derelict-Mensajero.Rojo: Cali Base: We've obtained automatic control of the Rojo.

[06.03.2026 17:04:06] Derelict-Mensajero.Rojo: Cali Base: A finders fee for finding our lost ship.
[06.03.2026 17:04:13] Platypup: I guess drinks are on me!
[06.03.2026 17:04:40] Derelict-Mensajero.Rojo: Cali Base: Seems it failed it's mission. We'll try again. Thank you again, Zoner.
With the Kageboshi being left to drift in the Dark Matter fields of Galileo following the combat operations the previous day, the IKN-Haruna arrived to take possession of the ship following the unencrypted message from the Junker named James. However, a Rogue showed up to claim it's prize and attacked the KNF Battlecruiser. The KNF was successful in taking out the Rogue ship but additional enemies showed up with DSE and Liberty Navy and the Haruna was forced to scuttle the ship rather than let it fall into enemy hands.
The Kageboshi was a KOI Gunboat left to drift into the black following an engagement between Kusari and Liberty forces.
The [KNF]IKN-Haruna scuttled the ship rather than allow it to fall into enemy hands.
All participants were given $250.000 credits as a reward for participating in the mini event. Watch this space for additional mini-events like this one!
[08.03.2026 14:57:30] Tee.En.Tee: Score!

[08.03.2026 15:00:19] [KNF]IKN-Haruna: [There was no response to the Rogue's repeated hails. Instead, the Haruna positioned itself right behind the gunboat and-
[08.03.2026 15:00:31] [KNF]IKN-Haruna: -intended to tractor it out through a Jump Hole into Kusari space.]
[08.03.2026 15:00:59] Tee.En.Tee: Not on /my/ watch, ya don't!
[08.03.2026 15:01:08] [KNF]IKN-Haruna: [Despite this, there was some chatter aboard the bridge; amongst the bridge crew there came to be a dilemma regarding-
[08.03.2026 15:01:20] [KNF]IKN-Haruna: -the best course of action, with scuttling the vessel also being considered.]
[08.03.2026 15:01:53] Tee.En.Tee: Alright, fuck-ass. Bring it!
[08.03.2026 15:02:26] Tee.En.Tee: Torpedoes away!

[08.03.2026 15:18:39] Derelict-Kageboshi: [The ship explodes with a fury beguiling it's size. It's secrets left to mystery.]
After a harrowing flight through Kansas and into Pennsylvania, the Bristol fleet succeeded in delivering the damaged EDF-Reckoning to it's new home at Pinnacle. Damaged from repeated attempts by the Rogues to claim her as salvage and a few unknown ships monitoring the progress of the fleets recovery efforts, the ship now sits at mooring in Pennsylvania--ready to return to battle for a free Erie.
All parties given credits for participating (if I missed someone, let me know).
Ship was gifted to the Militants from Bristol (expect some roleplay in the future from the relevant parties).
Thanks for participating and thanks to @Jazzi for putting some Storyteller input in! Stay tuned for tomorrow, when I'll be doing a bonus event. Expect these events in the future on Saturdays at 3pm UTC. Have a recommendation of where to go next? Post them here!

[14.03.2026 15:58:10] B|-BCV-Gryphon_Shipping: J:We lost some cargo. But we're still fighting.
[14.03.2026 15:58:14] [ST]Jazzi: Rogue: Bloody hell, this ain't worth it. Scarper!

[14.03.2026 15:59:44] B|-BCV-Haudenosaunee: O: All clear here. Beginning Jump Hole transit. Hold onto your hats
[14.03.2026 16:00:27] Derelict-Reckoning: [The Reckoning appears mostly okay, a checking of the tow lines might be in order.]
[14.03.2026 16:00:46] B|-BCV-Haudenosaunee: O: Check all tow, check for hull breaches
[14.03.2026 16:00:54] B|-BCV-Manong: Mr.Snow: Dammit...we lost some people.
[14.03.2026 16:01:47] Derelict-Reckoning: [The tow lines appear to be secure.]
[14.03.2026 16:01:54] Derelict-Reckoning: [Some have some wear from the combat encounter, but otherwise okay.]
[14.03.2026 16:02:03] B|-BCV-Haudenosaunee: O: Copy all Boarding 3, beginning movement
[14.03.2026 16:02:18] B|-BCV-Manong: Mr.Snow: Keeping distance and following.
[14.03.2026 16:02:42] B|-BCV-Gryphon_Shipping: J:So we might have sparked the interest of some company.
[14.03.2026 16:02:46] TFP)-Katelyn.Crow: Sounds like you lot encountered some trouble.
[14.03.2026 16:03:08] B|-BCV-Haudenosaunee: O: Prometheus vessel, this is Haudenosaunee. Affirm. Request you maintain safe distance from my unit. HVU in tow.
[14.03.2026 16:03:11] B|-BCV-Haudenosaunee: O: How copy
[14.03.2026 16:03:33] BCo)-Telharmonium: H: Prometheus? That's a new one.
[14.03.2026 16:03:59] TFP)-Katelyn.Crow: Hah! Well at least there's a P in the name there.
[14.03.2026 16:04:10] B|-BCV-Haudenosaunee: O: Currently intend for the Driftwood
[14.03.2026 16:04:17] TFP)-Katelyn.Crow: What are you doing with the Reckoning? That was quite an old vessel. A hulk, if I remember correctly.
[14.03.2026 16:04:41] B|-BCV-Haudenosaunee: O: A gift for friends
[14.03.2026 16:04:54] B|-BCV-Haudenosaunee: O: Vagrants on Scanner
[14.03.2026 16:05:02] B|-BCV-Manong: Mr.Snow: Copy
[14.03.2026 16:05:07] TFP)-Katelyn.Crow: Interesting. Well seeing as it was previously a militant vassel, I wonder what friends it's being gifted to.
[14.03.2026 16:07:21] TFP)-Katelyn.Crow: So, is that the secret bit?
[14.03.2026 16:07:33] B|-BCV-Haudenosaunee: O: Only one type of friend in the Driftwood
[14.03.2026 16:08:11] TFP)-Katelyn.Crow: From experence, I'd say the Bristol mostly looks out for Bristol. So, hard to say what friends exactly there are to give to
[14.03.2026 16:08:45] TFP)-Katelyn.Crow: I am interested in what you plan to do with that thing though, seeing as it is cloasly aligned with our own goals of
[14.03.2026 16:08:51] TFP)-Katelyn.Crow: defending Pennsylvania.
[14.03.2026 16:08:56] TFP)-Katelyn.Crow: Least it was, before it got holled.
[14.03.2026 16:08:59] TFP)-Katelyn.Crow: holed*
[14.03.2026 16:09:09] Derelict-Reckoning: [The emergency transponder pings off a few Militant vessels in the region. The dated ship appears to be known by other...
[14.03.2026 16:09:14] Derelict-Reckoning: ...Militants.]
[14.03.2026 16:09:43] B|-BCV-Haudenosaunee: O: Clear that transponder, Boarding 3; All vessels be advised, possible unknowns in region
[14.03.2026 16:09:57] B|-BCV-Manong: Mr.Snow: Keeping scanners open.
[14.03.2026 16:09:59] B|-BCV-Haudenosaunee: O: Old transponder, don't know whose hands it's gotten into
[14.03.2026 16:10:33] B|-BCV-Haudenosaunee: O: Pennsylvania for Pennsylvania, Prometheus. How I see it, and Bristol sometimes agrees
[14.03.2026 16:11:08] TFP)-Katelyn.Crow: I'm not exactly against that either.
[14.03.2026 16:11:16] TFP)-Katelyn.Crow: We share similar thoughts.
[14.03.2026 16:12:12] B|-BCV-Haudenosaunee: O: Boarding 3, say again your last? You think *what*?
[14.03.2026 16:12:18] TFP)-Katelyn.Crow: You lot planning on joining the cause of Liberating Liberty from it's overclass then?
[14.03.2026 16:12:31] TFP)-Katelyn.Crow: I suppose isolition could also be a tempting solution, but we tried that and look where that got us.
[14.03.2026 16:12:34] B|-BCV-Haudenosaunee: O: CHENG, pick up your phone
[14.03.2026 16:12:53] TFP)-Katelyn.Crow: You only must look at Vespucci to see where that goes when Liberty is your friend.
[14.03.2026 16:12:56] TFP)-Katelyn.Crow: 'friend'.
[14.03.2026 16:12:57] Derelict-Reckoning: [The boarding party sheepishly recommended going to cruise...seems someone has a hot date.]
[14.03.2026 16:13:15] [ST]Jazzi: Militant: Fuck me... it's the Reckoning.
[14.03.2026 16:13:21] B|-BCV-Haudenosaunee: O: All stations, holding that storm lines are condition GREEN. Stand by for cruise
[14.03.2026 16:13:28] B|-BCV-Haudenosaunee: O: Initiating

[14.03.2026 16:13:53] B|-BCV-Haudenosaunee: O: Hail to Pinnacle, Militants - glory to Pennsylvania
[14.03.2026 16:14:12] B|-BCV-Manong: Mr.Snow: Hey Gryphon, think we getting paid for this?
[14.03.2026 16:14:14] [ST]Jazzi: Militant: Right you are.
[14.03.2026 16:14:27] B|-BCV-Gryphon_Shipping: J:No, since we can't get in formation.
[14.03.2026 16:14:49] B|-BCV-Manong: Mr.Snow: Pockets gonna be empty then.
[14.03.2026 16:15:03] TFP)-Katelyn.Crow: I'd say a cruiser is decent payment in most books.
[14.03.2026 16:15:08] [ST]Jazzi: Militant: You taking her Pinnacle way?
[14.03.2026 16:15:15] Derelict-Reckoning: [A tow line snaps, followed by another.]
[14.03.2026 16:15:15] B|-BCV-Haudenosaunee: O: Affirm, Militant
[14.03.2026 16:15:23] B|-BCV-Haudenosaunee: O: Cut speed, cut speed
[14.03.2026 16:15:31] Derelict-Reckoning: [All snap, the ship is in free fall.]
[14.03.2026 16:15:31] B|-BCV-Manong: Mr.Snow: Oh shi--
[14.03.2026 16:15:32] B|-BCV-Haudenosaunee: O: Fucking...CHENG, phone, now!
[14.03.2026 16:15:53] [ST]Jazzi: Militant: We'll give'm warning of your coming.
[14.03.2026 16:16:02] B|-BCV-Manong: *Crashes into a sizable asteroid*
[14.03.2026 16:16:09] B|-BCV-Haudenosaunee: O: She's turning. Launch third line!
[14.03.2026 16:16:22] Derelict-Reckoning: [The boarding party is okay, a little jozzled. More than a few curse out the person who recommended cruise.]
[14.03.2026 16:16:26] B|-BCV-Gryphon_Shipping: J:Sending emotional support cables.
[14.03.2026 16:16:41] B|-BCV-Haudenosaunee: O: Set aft line!
[14.03.2026 16:16:46] B|-BCV-Manong: Mr.Snow: Dammit, the paintjob. And couple concussions from the crew as well.
[14.03.2026 16:16:54] B|-BCV-Haudenosaunee: O: *YES* double that line!
[14.03.2026 16:17:14] Derelict-Reckoning: [The ship falls into formation with the Haudenosaunee once again, the cables securing the ship.]
[14.03.2026 16:17:41] B|-BCV-Haudenosaunee: O: Second hand lines, I swear
[14.03.2026 16:17:45] Derelict-Reckoning: [The Reckoning is tough, barely any damage is evident from the impacts.]
[14.03.2026 16:19:30] B|-BCV-Gryphon_Shipping: You picked the worst wreck to loot boss.
[14.03.2026 16:19:38] TFP)-Katelyn.Crow: Got you on scanners, Ragnarok. Nice to see you. These Bristol folks here are putting on quite the salvage operation. One of
[14.03.2026 16:19:43] TFP)-Ragnarok: Hail.
[14.03.2026 16:19:45] TFP)-Katelyn.Crow: the old militant hulls.
[14.03.2026 16:19:47] B|-BCV-Manong: Mr.Snow: I just want to be paid after this.
[14.03.2026 16:20:55] B|-BCV-Haudenosaunee: O: Rogues on scanner
[14.03.2026 16:20:56] TFP)-Ragnarok: Flying with big ships in an asteroid field, you lot hiding from someone ?
[14.03.2026 16:21:18] B|-BCV-Gryphon_Shipping: J:Uh yeah, youll see on scanners.
[14.03.2026 16:21:25] TFP)-Katelyn.Crow: Well they flew all the way here from Kansas
[14.03.2026 16:21:27] B|-BCV-Haudenosaunee: O: Hiding as much as you, Ragnarok, don't you worry about that
[14.03.2026 16:21:39] B|-BCV-Manong: Mr.Snow: Crap, here we go again.
[14.03.2026 16:21:46] TFP)-Ragnarok: Liberty on your tails now?
[14.03.2026 16:21:53] B|-BCV-Manong: Mr.Snow: They never learn. Crew, get back on station.
[14.03.2026 16:21:55] B|-BCV-Haudenosaunee: O: Rogues the whole way through
[14.03.2026 16:22:00] TFP)-Ragnarok: What did you do? Stole donuts from the coppers?
[14.03.2026 16:22:04] B|-BCV-Haudenosaunee: O: Prometheus, request your assist
[14.03.2026 16:22:06] [ST]Jazzi: Rogue Scout: Boss man won't let us dock unless we try to nab it another time!
[14.03.2026 16:22:12] TFP)-Katelyn.Crow: Probably want the hulk for themselves. Strap whatever weapons and generators on it they want
[14.03.2026 16:22:19] B|-BCV-Manong: Mr.Snow: Then yo usigned yer death warrant
[14.03.2026 16:22:27] [ST]Jazzi: Rogue: Lads... let's get'em good!

[14.03.2026 16:24:44] B|-BCV-Gryphon_Shipping: J:This is about to be the pinnacle of my career. Powering up weapons for the final stretch.
[14.03.2026 16:24:44] B|-BCV-Haudenosaunee: O: Pinnacle Station, this is Haudenosaunee. Stand by, we have Rogues on us. Any help would be appreciated.
[14.03.2026 16:25:01] Derelict-Reckoning: [Pinnacle: Copy that, we'll see what we can do.]
[14.03.2026 16:25:05] TFP)-Katelyn.Crow: You know, I don't really have any love of pirates attacking Liberty's citizens.
[14.03.2026 16:25:09] B|-BCV-Manong: Mr.Snow: I hate asteroid fields!
[14.03.2026 16:25:17] TFP)-Katelyn.Crow: Bristol, you lot giving that cruiser to the militant cause, are you?
[14.03.2026 16:25:38] B|-BCV-Haudenosaunee: O: Affirm, Prometheus, what I told you before
[14.03.2026 16:25:46] TFP)-Katelyn.Crow: Well, so long as it's clear, well...
[14.03.2026 16:25:52] TFP)-Katelyn.Crow: I guess we are obligated to give you a hand.
[14.03.2026 16:25:56] TFP)-Ragnarok: Roger.
[14.03.2026 16:26:00] TFP)-Katelyn.Crow: Moving in to clear up those rogues.
[14.03.2026 16:26:06] TFP)-Katelyn.Crow: Let's give Bristol some help.
[14.03.2026 16:26:30] B|-BCV-Manong: Mr.Snow: Crap we lost power to the steering, need some time to force it back up!
[14.03.2026 16:26:57] B|-BCV-Manong: Mr.Snow: We're sitting ducks here!
[14.03.2026 16:27:40] B|-BCV-Manong: Mr.Snow: There we go..
[14.03.2026 16:27:43] Derelict-Reckoning: [Pinnacle: All clear, again, all clear.]
[14.03.2026 16:27:44] TFP)-Katelyn.Crow: Welp, that's those scum cleaned up.
[14.03.2026 16:27:44] B|-BCV-Gryphon_Shipping: Jelay in system operations.
[14.03.2026 16:27:54] B|-BCV-Haudenosaunee: O: Pinnacle, Haudenosaunee, request you set your own lines to Reckoning. We'll hold her in place
[14.03.2026 16:28:14] Derelict-Reckoning: [Pinnacle: Copy that, sending our tow lines. Standby.]
[14.03.2026 16:28:21] B|-BCV-Haudenosaunee: O: Standing by
[14.03.2026 16:28:39] Derelict-Reckoning: [Pinnacle: Two and three are engaged. Having trouble with the last one.
[14.03.2026 16:28:52] Derelict-Reckoning: [Pinnacle: There we go. We have it in lock.]
[14.03.2026 16:29:22] B|-BCV-Haudenosaunee: O: Copy, we'll retrieve our Boarding Party from your station once she's docked
[14.03.2026 16:29:42] Derelict-Reckoning: [Pinnacle: Affirmative. Moving the ship to mooring bays. Standby.]
[14.03.2026 16:30:48] Derelict-Reckoning: [The crews onboard depart the Reckoning's mooring clamps and are awaiting pickup by the Bristol fleet.]
The Chaos Theory was a transport fielded by local Zoner scientists to research the oddities of Planet Tonnerre. However, they critically misjudged the ferocity of the planets storms. During a study of a storm, the ship was struck in orbit by a discharge. This fried all systems, including the ships distress signal and life support. The gravity of the planet drew it into the atmosphere slowly...along with it's experimental power core that few Zoners are allowed to even utilize let alone know about.
The BIS-CV-Traquair arrived to find the ship falling in orbit, and after attempting many different recoveries, were able to dislodge the core from the cargo bay and retrieve the core. However, in doing so caused the ship to free fall into the atmosphere and explode, causing the grave of Zoner scientists to burn up.
The BIS-CV-Traquair is now the proud owner of one Ingenuus Power Core--a rare commodity as I personally only know of 11 or 12 still on the server at this time.
Due to the value of the item recovered, and only one player who participated, no credits will be awarded as the item is it's own prize.
[15.03.2026 15:18:35] Derelict-Chaos.Theory: [A Zoner transport hangs in low orbit. There appears to be extreme damage as the result of an overload.]
[15.03.2026 15:19:04] BIS-CV-Traquair: S: Uhh... Sir. We're getting funny readings.
[15.03.2026 15:19:17] BIS-CV-Traquair: L: Again? What is it?
[15.03.2026 15:19:46] BIS-CV-Traquair: S: Ship, sir. Low power signature.
[15.03.2026 15:20:09] Derelict-Chaos.Theory: [Despite this damage, unusual readings eminate from the ship...as if there is still some kind of power onboard.]
[15.03.2026 15:20:19] BIS-CV-Traquair: L: Hmm. Take us in, 3k range. Not too bloody close.
[15.03.2026 15:20:43] BIS-CV-Traquair: S: This one has some funny business about it, sir.
[15.03.2026 15:21:02] BIS-CV-Traquair: L: Damnit, I said, 3k!
[15.03.2026 15:21:14] BIS-CV-Traquair: L: Helm, sort yourselves out.
[15.03.2026 15:21:45] BIS-CV-Traquair: L: Scanners, focus on that vessel.
[15.03.2026 15:22:11] Derelict-Chaos.Theory: [Scanners reveal extreme damage due to planetary storms. It seems they got too close in their exuberance for research.]
[15.03.2026 15:22:36] BIS-CV-Traquair: L: Good god, that's some damage and a half.
[15.03.2026 15:22:36] Derelict-Chaos.Theory: [Despite this electrical damage, an unusual power reading can be detected. Powerful yet fleeting.]
[15.03.2026 15:23:01] BIS-CV-Traquair: L: Thomas, get me some accurate readings on whatever is making that damn pulsing.
[15.03.2026 15:23:14] BIS-CV-Traquair: L: Is it interferrence? Or us?
[15.03.2026 15:23:31] BIS-CV-Traquair: T: Neither, sir. Seems to be coming from the ship.
[15.03.2026 15:24:33] BIS-CV-Traquair: L: Strange. Do we have overide codes for a Serenity? See if we can hijack some systems over there.
[15.03.2026 15:24:59] BIS-CV-Traquair: T: Negative, damage seems too great.
[15.03.2026 15:25:17] BIS-CV-Traquair: L: Just our luck, eh.
[15.03.2026 15:25:31] Derelict-Chaos.Theory: [The gravity well of the massive Gas Giant appears to be exerting pressure on the transport. It's unclear how much longer it...
[15.03.2026 15:25:34] Derelict-Chaos.Theory: ...has.]
[15.03.2026 15:25:48] BIS-CV-Traquair: L: Alright, bring us in, 1k. Keep it sharp this time.
[15.03.2026 15:25:59] BIS-CV-Traquair: L: No more else we'll be next.
[15.03.2026 15:26:11] BIS-CV-Traquair: L: That big red bastard wants to eat.
[15.03.2026 15:27:02] Derelict-Chaos.Theory: [From 1k distance, the storms that claimed the Chaos Theory are clear. It's no wonder the ship was disabled.]
[15.03.2026 15:27:13] BIS-CV-Traquair: L: Perfect! What are we getting now?
[15.03.2026 15:27:49] BIS-CV-Traquair: T: What the hell... Sir, some sort of power source. I think...
[15.03.2026 15:28:15] BIS-CV-Traquair: L: What? Strange, very strange.
[15.03.2026 15:28:32] BIS-CV-Traquair: S: Sir, we're struggling to hold position.
[15.03.2026 15:28:49] BIS-CV-Traquair: S: Gravitational pull is too strong to stay here for long.
[15.03.2026 15:28:50] Derelict-Chaos.Theory: [Power readings indicate that the Power Cell onboard could run an entire Cruiser or larger if scaled up.]
[15.03.2026 15:29:11] Derelict-Chaos.Theory: [It's unclear where it originated from or if stable enough to use in high stress situations.]
[15.03.2026 15:29:20] BIS-CV-Traquair: L: Alright, raiding is off, lads. We need whatever that is.
[15.03.2026 15:29:57] BIS-CV-Traquair: T: Sir, these readings are astronomical. That thing could power... Gods, I don't know
[15.03.2026 15:30:29] BIS-CV-Traquair: L: Definitely need that then, eh?
[15.03.2026 15:30:43] BIS-CV-Traquair: L: Any breaches in the hull? An easy way to get to it?
[15.03.2026 15:31:07] Derelict-Chaos.Theory: [The ship appears sealed, though life support is clearly dead along with the rest of the ships systems.]
[15.03.2026 15:31:36] Derelict-Chaos.Theory: [Evidence of the fury of Planet Tonnerre.]
[15.03.2026 15:31:42] BIS-CV-Traquair: S: No, sir. She's sealed tight. We could...
[15.03.2026 15:31:49] BIS-CV-Traquair: L: We could what?
[15.03.2026 15:31:58] BIS-CV-Traquair: S: Shoot a hole in it...
[15.03.2026 15:32:14] BIS-CV-Traquair: L: That's the worst idea I think I have ever heard.
[15.03.2026 15:32:30] BIS-CV-Traquair: L: We don't know how bloody stable that thing is!
[15.03.2026 15:32:55] Derelict-Chaos.Theory: [The gravity from the planet is exerting extreme stress on the hull plating. The docking bay doors appear warped.]
[15.03.2026 15:33:03] Derelict-Chaos.Theory: [Enough pressure could wedge them open if properly applied.]
[15.03.2026 15:33:12] BIS-CV-Traquair: L: Thomas, how did the repairs on the grapples go?
[15.03.2026 15:33:26] BIS-CV-Traquair: T: Not well sir, still inoperable.
[15.03.2026 15:33:40] BIS-CV-Traquair: L: Damnit. Can't tow the ting then.
[15.03.2026 15:34:08] BIS-CV-Traquair: S: Sir, cargo doors seem to be damaged, a sho...
[15.03.2026 15:34:12] BIS-CV-Traquair: L: No!
[15.03.2026 15:34:24] BIS-CV-Traquair: S: But sir! We can't let this go!
[15.03.2026 15:34:50] BIS-CV-Traquair: S: What do we lose if it goes up? Something we didn't have!
[15.03.2026 15:35:05] BIS-CV-Traquair: S: Sir.
[15.03.2026 15:35:14] BIS-CV-Traquair: L: Argh, true.
[15.03.2026 15:35:22] BIS-CV-Traquair: L: We don't have time for this.
[15.03.2026 15:35:36] BIS-CV-Traquair: L: How stable is the ship? Can it take an impact?
[15.03.2026 15:35:58] Derelict-Chaos.Theory: [The hull appears weakened due to the gravity. A lack of powered systems makes extra damage unlikely.]
[15.03.2026 15:36:27] BIS-CV-Traquair: S: Not ideal, sir. She's moving around. But possible.
[15.03.2026 15:36:32] Death: Sam_Jones was put out of action by a hostile vessel.
[15.03.2026 15:37:11] BIS-CV-Traquair: L: Fine, single shot on that cargo door.
[15.03.2026 15:37:24] BIS-CV-Traquair: L: Gun three, en-gage!
[15.03.2026 15:37:44] BIS-CV-Traquair: L: Damnit! We're out of range.
[15.03.2026 15:38:04] BIS-CV-Traquair: L: How close can we ideally get?
[15.03.2026 15:38:49] BIS-CV-Traquair: S: Unsure, at least just inside gun range.
[15.03.2026 15:38:54] Derelict-Chaos.Theory: [The planets gravity is extreme, but not overly dangerous to shielded vessels.]
[15.03.2026 15:39:13] BIS-CV-Traquair: L: Alright, bring us in to 700m.
[15.03.2026 15:39:13] Derelict-Chaos.Theory: [The Chaos Theory is unshielded, causing excess stressors to the hull of the ship.]
[15.03.2026 15:39:24] BIS-CV-Traquair: L: Slowly.
[15.03.2026 15:39:47] BIS-CV-Traquair: S: Sir, we overshot!
[15.03.2026 15:40:13] BIS-CV-Traquair: L: Bloody hell, status? What's with the rattling?
[15.03.2026 15:40:50] BIS-CV-Traquair: S: Gravitational pull, we're fine for the moment.
[15.03.2026 15:41:13] BIS-CV-Traquair: T: Shields are being put to the test, sir.
[15.03.2026 15:41:37] BIS-CV-Traquair: L: As with most of Gallia, the big red bastard does not like us.
[15.03.2026 15:42:03] BIS-CV-Traquair: L: Okay, gun three, fire again. One round. En-gage!
[15.03.2026 15:42:11] Derelict-Chaos.Theory: [The cargo hatch explodes outward from the weapons impact. It detaches and spirals towards the surface of the planet.]
[15.03.2026 15:42:31] Derelict-Chaos.Theory: [Carbon dioxide escapes into space, sending the ship forward a touch towards the planet.]
[15.03.2026 15:42:45] BIS-CV-Traquair: L: Oh bugger! Status!
[15.03.2026 15:43:12] BIS-CV-Traquair: S: She got shot further into the planet by the escaping gasses.
[15.03.2026 15:43:20] BIS-CV-Traquair: S: Still within reach.
[15.03.2026 15:43:24] BIS-CV-Traquair: S: Just...
[15.03.2026 15:44:02] BIS-CV-Traquair: L: Grapples still a no go?
[15.03.2026 15:44:13] BIS-CV-Traquair: T: Still no, sir.
[15.03.2026 15:44:29] BIS-CV-Traquair: L: Alright, darn. Get me scans. Give me ideas.
[15.03.2026 15:44:43] BIS-CV-Traquair: L: What is in the cargo hold? The power source?
[15.03.2026 15:45:06] Derelict-Chaos.Theory: [It's unclear where the power is eminating from. It's possible it's in the hold but unknown.]
[15.03.2026 15:45:41] Derelict-Chaos.Theory: [Scans indicate that the orbital path of the ship will lead it to impact the ionisphere within 15 minutes.]
[15.03.2026 15:46:01] BIS-CV-Traquair: S: Unknown, sir. We could try to shift ourselves to get a visual.
[15.03.2026 15:46:16] BIS-CV-Traquair: L: Do it. But for goodness sake, keep it bloody steady!
[15.03.2026 15:47:01] BIS-CV-Traquair: T: Thrusters are being pushed to maximum!
[15.03.2026 15:47:15] Derelict-Chaos.Theory: [An unusual cyan glow eminates from the cargo hold, as if something is almost alive within the ship.]
[15.03.2026 15:47:38] BIS-CV-Traquair: T: Sir, that's it. I'm sure.
[15.03.2026 15:48:05] Derelict-Chaos.Theory: [It appears the Zoner engineers mounted it within the bay as the ship wasn't being used for carrying cargo but for science.]
[15.03.2026 15:48:33] BIS-CV-Traquair: L: What on earth... This gets more and more interesting.
[15.03.2026 15:48:58] BIS-CV-Traquair: S: Sir, the ship is losing orbit, max time I'd say we have is less than 15 minutes.
[15.03.2026 15:48:59] Derelict-Chaos.Theory: [The Zoners of Tau-23 would probably know more about it's true nature and purpose.]
[15.03.2026 15:50:11] BIS-CV-Traquair: S: Faint signals, Zoner in origin.
[15.03.2026 15:50:29] BIS-CV-Traquair: S: Okay, sir. I have an idea, you're not going to like it.
[15.03.2026 15:50:48] BIS-CV-Traquair: L: Let me guess. We send one of you lot over there to grab it?
[15.03.2026 15:51:07] BIS-CV-Traquair: S: Whaaa... No, sir. We shoot the mounts.
[15.03.2026 15:51:28] BIS-CV-Traquair: L: You're right. I don't like it. Is it even possible without killing us all?
[15.03.2026 15:51:40] BIS-CV-Traquair: S: Scanning.
[15.03.2026 15:51:49] Derelict-Chaos.Theory: [Any stray weapons fire could cause the core to detonate. It's unclear how much damage it would cause.]
[15.03.2026 15:52:09] Derelict-Chaos.Theory: [With how much power it's showcasing, it could be seen from the next star over.]
[15.03.2026 15:52:33] Derelict-Chaos.Theory: [The mounts do appear to be loose, however. Possibly due to the hull buckling from the planets gravity.]
[15.03.2026 15:52:45] BIS-CV-Traquair: T: Sir, ignore him. That is far too dangerous. The power contained, it'd rip a hole in reality.
[15.03.2026 15:53:11] BIS-CV-Traquair: S: She's moving again!
[15.03.2026 15:53:19] Derelict-Chaos.Theory: [The ship is begun entering the planets atmosphere.]
[15.03.2026 15:53:43] BIS-CV-Traquair: L: Damnit, we're going to lose it.
[15.03.2026 15:53:54] BIS-CV-Traquair: L: Grapples?
[15.03.2026 15:54:02] BIS-CV-Traquair: T: Still negative.
[15.03.2026 15:54:10] BIS-CV-Traquair: S: We could tractor it?
[15.03.2026 15:54:22] BIS-CV-Traquair: L: Oh, you think that could work?
[15.03.2026 15:54:37] BIS-CV-Traquair: S: The restraints are loose.
[15.03.2026 15:55:07] BIS-CV-Traquair: S: It could jostle it loose and pull it in.
[15.03.2026 15:55:29] BIS-CV-Traquair: L: Hmm. Didn't consider that. Can we do it, Thomas?
[15.03.2026 15:55:31] Derelict-Chaos.Theory: [The extreme shaking of the ships hull due to being slammed on an atmosphere has shaken it loose further.]
[15.03.2026 15:55:47] BIS-CV-Traquair: T: I think so, sir. It's now or never.
[15.03.2026 15:56:03] BIS-CV-Traquair: L: Alright, tractor beam to full power. Rip that thing loose!
[15.03.2026 15:56:11] BIS-CV-Traquair: [Tractor beam engages]
[15.03.2026 15:56:30] Derelict-Chaos.Theory: [The tractor hits the Power Core, with some pressure, it rips loose from the hull of the ship. This causes the ship to free...
[15.03.2026 15:56:34] Derelict-Chaos.Theory: ...fall into the planet.]
[15.03.2026 15:56:56] BIS-CV-Traquair: L: Good lord!
[15.03.2026 15:57:00] BIS-CV-Traquair: L: Did we...
[15.03.2026 15:57:01] Death: Derelict-Chaos.Theory suffered a self-inflicted catastrophic decompression.
[15.03.2026 15:57:31] Derelict-Chaos.Theory: [The ship burns up in orbit. Whatever was left remains floating through the atmosphere.]
[15.03.2026 15:58:07] Derelict-Chaos.Theory: [The power core retrieved from the wreck appears to dim and lose power. Whatever mysteries it holds staying silent.]
These events have changed slightly. Capital Ships will no longer be "Claimable" and will function as one of two ways:
Destroyable or boardable for the claim of the items/weapons onboard.
As standalone POB's where a TTRPG/D&D style encounter will go down.
The ships can no longer be towed as they are too large to do so and can't be flown due to extensive damage to them. This keeps players from joining just because a Capital Ship is on the line and prevents special ships (such as the Nephilim) from falling into enemy hands. The TTRPG style encounter will occur on the last Saturday of every month at 1500 UTC while standard Derelict events will occur on every other Saturday at 1500 UTC. Due to planning issues, this months TTRPG style may not happen. Time will tell if there is enough time to get the logistics done for this.
If there are questions, let me know!
The Filo Escarlata was left to drift after it was nearly destroyed by unknown assailants--however it found a new home with those who had evil plans for it's future. No longer was it a stalwart defender of the Maltese nation, now it was an instrument of something far more sinister. The Wilde ships managed to crack the ships firmware (with hilariously bad security policies by it's pilot) and initiate a bypass on it's reactor to prevent a meltdown. Afterwards they enabled the auto pilot to follow the two ships to their home in the Omegas.
The ship is now in the possession of Wilde. No other players or factions attempted to stop them from claiming their prize.
250.000 credits were given to each participant for their roleplay interactions.
Tune in next week for a new special version of the event. Angels offspring with strange deaths in a field of darkness filled with strange bridges await your discovery. Tune in next week for your slice at the pie.
[21.03.2026 15:08:52] Wilde.Vedrfolnir: Hm. What do We have here?
[21.03.2026 15:09:28] Derelict-Filo.Escarlata: [The derelict is fairly damaged from combat. It's weapons signatures register to no known signatures on record.]
[21.03.2026 15:09:41] Wilde.Vedrfolnir: *The vessel lowers its veil, having located the source of the distress signal*
[21.03.2026 15:10:37] Derelict-Filo.Escarlata: [It's rector is in a semi-meltdown. Steps need to be taken to avert and overload and detonation.]
[21.03.2026 15:11:46] Wilde.Vedrfolnir: It's in bad shape, but there may yet be value in this.
[21.03.2026 15:12:06] Wilde.Nibelungenfluch: Im reading Multiple damaged Systems and Hull Breaches...
[21.03.2026 15:12:21] Wilde.Nibelungenfluch: Structural Integrity seems to be fine...
[21.03.2026 15:12:30] Wilde.Vedrfolnir: Indeed.
[21.03.2026 15:13:02] Derelict-Filo.Escarlata: [...reactor meltdown in: 45 minutes. Please decompress secondary bypass to avert. Repeating...]
[21.03.2026 15:13:11] Wilde.Nibelungenfluch: It seems as if my Scanner can't lock onto the Cargo hold....
[21.03.2026 15:13:55] Wilde.Vedrfolnir: *There was a short burst of static from the vessel on a narrow frequency. It was likely a radioing of extra support*
[21.03.2026 15:15:31] Derelict-Filo.Escarlata: [There appears to be residue of Cardi in the cargo hold--possibly for the pilot.]
[21.03.2026 15:15:41] Derelict-Filo.Escarlata: [Possibly for a paying customer. It's unclear.]
[21.03.2026 15:16:02] Wilde.Vedrfolnir: Hm. It seems We are on Our own.
[21.03.2026 15:16:15] Derelict-Filo.Escarlata: [The shield generator is toast, as is one of the engines. Hull plating is marginally damaged but intact.]
[21.03.2026 15:16:31] Derelict-Filo.Escarlata: [A secondary bypass may be able to be done remotely with enough skill.]
[21.03.2026 15:17:37] Wilde.Vedrfolnir: Very well. Are ou capable of overriding the ships systems?
[21.03.2026 15:17:48] Wilde.Nibelungenfluch: I am trying -
[21.03.2026 15:18:12] Wilde.Nibelungenfluch: [A short Pulse is sent out from the ship targetting the stranded ship]
[21.03.2026 15:18:37] Derelict-Filo.Escarlata: [The system responds. It seems like the computer system is still online and accessable. Some hacking is required.]
[21.03.2026 15:18:45] Derelict-Filo.Escarlata: [Outcast systems are hardened against attack.]

[21.03.2026 15:19:35] Wilde.Nibelungenfluch: [The Ship tries a different burst of Frequencies]
[21.03.2026 15:19:39] Wilde.Nibelungenfluch: Watch out!
[21.03.2026 15:19:47] Wilde.Nibelungenfluch: The Systems are going online!
[21.03.2026 15:19:56] Wilde.Vedrfolnir: Watching.

[21.03.2026 15:25:11] Derelict-Filo.Escarlata: [1. Reroute Power Flows. 2. Decompress Secondary Reactor. 3. Engage autopilot. 4. Engage weapons.]

[21.03.2026 15:25:38] Derelict-Filo.Escarlata: [Even one named "Pinata". Whatever the hell that does.]
[21.03.2026 15:26:44] Wilde.Nibelungenfluch: Hmm.(*pondering*) So many choices, what do you think?
[21.03.2026 15:28:25] Wilde.Nibelungenfluch: Shall I override the Reactor ?
[21.03.2026 15:28:29] Wilde.Vedrfolnir: No.
[21.03.2026 15:29:07] Wilde.Vedrfolnir: For now, see how We can re-route the power flows.
[21.03.2026 15:29:29] Wilde.Nibelungenfluch: Alright.

[21.03.2026 15:31:26] Wilde.Vedrfolnir: Re-route the Primary Reactor. See what happens.
