This random event occurs in:
- Zoltan Controlled Sector
- Zoltan Homeworlds
The Long-Ranged Scanners will detect
no ship presence. This event can occur only once per sector.
You come to a quiet part of Zoltan space and encounter an ancient Zoltan wise man who has managed to harness the power of a spatial rift, but seems to have been driven completely mad by the power. "Choose your doom," he demands. This is all part of a day's work.
- Mantis.
- "You like a challenge. So be it!" A wormhole forms and a confused, angry Mantis ship hurtles toward you!
- Slug.
- "Do not be fooled, Federation, by a soft underbelly." You detect a wormhole opening up, and seconds later a Slug ship is attacking from the other direction!
- Rockmen.
- "A hardened foe for a hardened veteran." You detect a wormhole opening up, and a Rock ship appears with guns blazing. It appears they were in combat when they were thrust across space-time.
