Ambassadoria

Ambassadoria was a Reticulum High Guard ship. It departed from Stralea under Captain Nestor Strom and was en route to New Freedom's Port. 21 days after departure, while scanning some debris it came across an ancient alien ship that resembled nothing that can be found in the Spotter's Guide.

The ship was so ancient that its surface has become coated with much dust and debris. A boarding party found 8 Phyxx and estimated an age of 100000 years old. A preliminary analysis indicated that the craft is powered by some manner of gravitic drive completely unlike any technology possessed by the Reticulum. On request from the medical officer the party took a dead Phyxx for examination.

However the alien creature, after removed from its coffin showed signs of life and killed many of the crew and tore its way through the walls of the ship, knocking most of the prime systems. A distress signal was sent. Then it was decided to take to the lifeboat and destroy the ship but it was sabotaged. Every last member of the crew behaved heroically in the face of this danger and conducted themselves befitting the highest commendations of the Reticulum.

Strom jettisoned the Black Box and activated the self-destruct mechanism, destroying both ships.

Later, Mondite ships intercepted the Ambassadoria distress signal. As they approached they jammed and distorted the signal ensuring that it will be heard by no one else. The destroyed hulk of the two ships were discovered. Salvaging and examining the available data, the Mondites calculated the location of the Daedalus and astronomical corroboration.
