Event chains
Gas Giant Signal is an anomaly event chain triggered by investigating the anomaly of the same name that can appear on gas giants. The event chain contains numerous special projects, each one requiring a science ship to orbit a targeted gas giant and taking 180 days to complete.
Gas Giant Signal
The [science ship name] has picked up some curious readings from [anomaly gas giant name]. There are significant pockets of radiation in the gas giant's atmosphere that appear to be the result of intense orbital bombardment. What someone could hope to gain by bombing a gas giant from orbit remains a mystery however.
As the [science ship name] was preparing to break orbit, Science Officer [science ship scientist name] discovered a weak signal coming from the planet's interior. It may be a transmission of some kind, but the gas giant's background radiation makes it difficult to isolate.
| Trigger conditions:
None |
Is triggered only by:
Investigating the Gas Giant Signal anomaly |
 We should investigate this signal.
A sensor malfunction. Ignore it. | |
Special Project Completed
 Science Officer [science ship scientist name] has managed to isolate the weak signal that was coming from somewhere deep inside the atmosphere of [anomaly gas giant name]. It does indeed appear to be a transmission, and we have filtered it through our translation software.
|
Special Project Failed
 The weak signal we picked up coming from the interior of the gas giant [anomaly gas giant name] has faded. We shall never learn of its origin.

Special Project Completed
 Science Officer [science ship scientist name] has finished supervising the relocation of the Dathnak to their new home. A convoy of civilian freighters equipped with massive pressurized gas tanks ferried the gaseous beings across space and deposited them into the gas giant's atmosphere. Their ancient transmitter and scanner array were also brought along.
|
Special Project Failed
The conditions on Tollok Rong have deteriorated to the point where the Dathnak can no longer be saved. The radiation has spread across most of the atmosphere, and the Dathnak survivors have retreated even deeper towards the planet's core where communication with the surface is no longer possible. Eventually the radiation will finds its way there as well, rendering their species extinct.

Special Project Completed
As before, a convoy of freighters was assembled to safely transport the Dathnak colonists inside pressurized gas tanks. After a brief journey, they successfully made planetfall on the gas giant which they have named "New Baldarak." A satellite was left in orbit to allow for long-range communication with Baldarak.
| Trigger conditions:
Agreed to help a second time |
Is triggered only by:
Finishing the Establish Dathnak Colony special project |
Make the most of it, Dathnak.
| |
Special Project Completed
A single cargo tug hauling a gas canister has arrived at Baldarak under escort by the [science ship name]. The contents of the canister have been released into the gas giant's atmosphere, safely returning the Dathnak colonist to her home.
| Trigger conditions:
Agreed to help a third time |
Is triggered only by:
Finishing the Bring Chabky Home special project |
Good riddance. | |
Special Project Completed
Our investigation of New Baldarak has revealed nothing out of the ordinary. The satellite the colony used to communicate with their capital is still functional as far as we can tell.
| Trigger conditions:
Agreed to help a fourth time |
Is triggered only by:
Finishing the Investigate New Baldarak special project |
Open a channel to the planet. | |
Special Project Completed
 A cargo tug escorted by the [science ship name] has stealthily dropped the cargo pod containing the revolutionary commando unit into Baldarak's atmosphere. Moments later, flashes can be seen coming from deep within the gas giant's cloud layer. Could it be signs of fighting?
|
Special Project Completed
Several freighters under escort by the [science ship name] have dropped the cargo canisters carrying the Dathnak expeditionary force into New Baldarak's atmosphere. Moments later flashes can be seen coming from beneath the gas giant's cloud layer. The fighting appears to have started.
