Spoiler warning: The following contains spoilers for the game. Continue at your own risk if you do not mind ruining some fun of the game.

 This random event occurs in:



This event can unlock the Mantis Cruiser. This requires all of the following:

If this event is found without the above systems you can safely run away, upgrade/buy the systems and return to complete the event. (You must choose the blue option in order to be able to get the unlock.)


You cross paths with a Mantis ship that looks to have had dozens of layers of armor-plating added over what must have been a hundred year career. Its captain is legendary thief KazaaakplethKilik. Your crew look frightened.

  1. (Mantis Crew) 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.
  2. Prepare to fight

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.
  • (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.
    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.
        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.
        3. (Adv. Medbay) Quickly teleport him back to the medbay. (Requires level 2 Medbay)
        4. (Adv. Clonebay) Quickly configure the Clonebay to save him. (Requires level 2 Clonebay)
    3. (Sensors) Quickly scan their ship for survivors. (Requires level 3 Sensors)
      • You detect KazaaakplethKilik slumped in a corner dying.
        1. Let him die.
          • 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.
        2. Dock and try to speak with him.
          • 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.
        3. (Adv. Medbay) Dock and quickly take him back to the medbay. (Requires level 2 Medbay)
        4. (Adv. Clonebay) Quickly configure the Clonebay to save him. (Requires level 2 Clonebay)

Save the thief

  • (Adv. 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."
    (Adv. Clonebay) Your haste has paid off and you register him into the Clonebay's database. After he passes away he is quickly reconstructed on board your ship. 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.

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.
