Event chains
The Ransomers is an anomaly event chain triggered by investigating the Doppler Effect anomaly that can appear on uninhabitable planets. The conclusion and effects of the event chain depend on whether the objective is accomplished by the player empire or by another empire.
The Ransomers: Emergency Buoy
An emergency transmission buoy floats in gentle orbit around [planet name]. Its outer casing is heavily damaged, seemingly by glancing weapons fire or a powerful explosion.
It might be a [main species adjective] model for civilian ships - designed to be ejected as an emergency measure should the comms systems fail - but the extent of the damage makes it impossible to know for certain.
It is repeating a weak, distorted signal.

The Ransomers: Smoke and Ashes
