Requirements to get Mantis Cruiser:

• Teleporter
• Level 2 or greater Medbay

1. (Mantis crew member) Attempt to hail him.
   • Your Mantis crew-member steps forward. He and KazaaakplethKilik perform a weird kind of alien haka. You, meanwhile, charge the battle systems.
     • Fight the ship.

2. Prepare to fight

1. • Fight the ship.

Fight the ship

• (After destroying enemy ship) KazaaakplethKilik fights to the last, and you pick the scraps from the corpse of his ship. You sense, though, that his death has left a great mystery unresolved.
  • You receive a medium amount of scrap and resources.
• (After killing enemy crew) No more life signs are detected aboard their ship. You appear to have won.
  1. Move in to strip their ship.
     • It seems almost a waste for such a fierce foe to die in such an anticlimactic fashion. You shrug it off and take what you can.
       • You receive a high amount of scrap and resources.
  2. (Teleporter) Quickly teleport additional crew and check for survivors.
     • You find KazaaakplethKilik slumped in a corner dying.
       1. Put him out of his misery.
          • Thus ends the life of the famed captain, KazaaakplethKilik... You wonder what secrets went with him to the grave as you thoroughly loot his ship.
            • You receive a high amount of scrap and resources.
       2. Listen to what he has to say.
          • In his dying moments he gives up the location of his secret stash. You strip the ship wondering what other secrets went with him to the grave.
            • You receive a high amount of scrap and resources and a quest marker is added to your map.
       3. (Advanced Medbay) Quickly teleport him back to the medbay. (Requires level 2+ Medbay)
          • Your haste has paid off and you are able to bring him back from the brink of death. When his senses return he says, "I never thought I would see this day, but... I am willing to devote myself and my ships to your cause."
            1. Accept.
               • KazaaakplethKilik joins your crew, offers the coordinates for a nearby stash of stolen military goods and transmits the coordinates for a custom cruiser he has been working on. You forward it to the Federation, sure they can make good use of it.
                 • You receive a high amount of scrap, a random augmentation, 1 mantis crew member named Kazaaak, unlock the Mantis Cruiser and a quest marker is added to your map.

Quest Marker

You arrive at small asteroid field and discover the hidden cache among the debris. You input the codes given to you by KazaaakplethKilik and find a weapon inside.

• You receive a high amount of scrap and a weapon.
