This random event occurs in:
- Rock Controlled Sector
- Rock Homeworlds
in an asteroid field. The Long-Ranged Scanners will detect
ship presence. This event can occur only once per sector.
The intro text for this event varies, and could be any of the following:
- Minute fissures in the shields spark and crackle as the ship jumps into the wake of a huge asteroid. More asteroids follow, as does a lost and aggressive Rock pirate ship.
- You exit the jump surrounded by dirt and rocks. Before long a blast is deflected by your shield, but that was no asteroid... Incoming pirate!
- Fight a Rock pirate ship (default rewards).
