This random event occurs in:
- Slug Controlled Nebula
- Slug Home Nebula
The Long-Ranged Scanners will detect
ship presence. This event can occur multiple times per sector.
The intro text for this event varies, and could be any of the following:
- There appears to be a pirate ship nearby. Be on your guard; anyone trying to hunt in Slug territory is either formidable or deeply stupid, and in space, either can be dangerous.
- "We knew anyone foolish enough to try and sneak through a Slug nebula would stick to open space. Yield your goods and we may let you live." You cut the transmission in lieu of a response.
- Before you can take a moment's rest from the ever present nebulas in this sector, a pirate ship appears behind you and opens fire.
- Fight a Pirate ship (default rewards).
