Plant Aggression

---

The planet's flora is remarkably dexterous, alarmingly aggressive, and definitely worthy of closer study.

---

 

Requirements: Has at least 1 science ship in orbit Has a Scientist	Time to Research: Completed in 60 days
On Success Triggers ship event Grassy Militia.

Left Behind

---

Strange readings are coming from the planet's moon. It could be nothing.

But it could be something. With a ship in orbit acting as a relay, the colony's scientists will carefully scan the moon's surface in order to get to the heart of the matter.

---

 

Requirements: Has at least 1 science ship in orbit Has a Scientist	Time to Research: Completed in 30 days

---

 

Requirements: Has at least 1 science ship in orbit Has a Scientist	Time to Research: Completed in 30 days
On Success Triggers planet event Mharin Kharin: Work Over Flowers.

A Sense of Impending Doom

The situation on the pollen-infested planet has taken a turn for the potentially dangerous. A speedy assessment of the colony's unique situation and especially its increasingly volatile environmental factors is of the utmost importance.
Once all threats are known, an action plan can be drafted and executed within hours.

Old Gods: The Benefactress

---

Every surface of the Benefactress' shrine is covered with a complex web of pictograms, seemingly telling a story far more expansive than the molecular fables that survived the ages on [From.Owner.Capital.GetName].
Though seemingly only distantly related to the known ancient [From.Owner.GetSpeciesName] languages, current technology should allow us to decipher the pictograms given enough time and resources.

---

 

Requirements: Has at least 1 science ship in orbit Has a Scientist	Time to Research: Completed in 90 days
On Success Triggers ship event Old Gods: Shrine to the Benefactress.

Old Gods: The Undaunted

---

The temple holding the Undaunted's shrine is, true to the myths surrounding him, filled with contraptions of indeterminate origin and purpose. A far cry from the simple puzzle-boxes and tests of strength that once filled his temples on [Root.Owner.Capital.GetName], here his holy texts will truly only be read by the worthy.

That said, our sophisticated analysis tools should make short work of these conundrums.

---

 

Requirements: Has at least 1 science ship in orbit Has a Scientist	Time to Research: Completed in 90 days

Requirements: Has at least 1 science ship in orbit Has a Scientist	Time to Research: Completed in 90 days
On Success Triggers ship event Old Gods: Shrine to the Percipient.

Wanderlust: What Was Left Behind
