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

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
On Success: Triggers ship event Old Gods: Shrine to the Undaunted.

Old Gods: The Percipient

---

The tales of the Percipient are told only to those perceptive enough to understand them - it is just a matter of figuring out what needs to be perceived.

---

 

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
