Easter egg event: The Voice of Kerensky.

On September 9, 2786, General Aleksandr Kerensky transmitted a broadband microwave radio message from the Pentagon Worlds. Unlike HPG transmissions, this broadcast travels at the speed of light (1 light-year per year). The signal expands as a spherical wavefront from the Pentagon Worlds.

This event triggers when the player's current system falls within 30.0 light-years of the expanding wavefront on September 9th, the anniversary of the original broadcast.

Since:
0.50.07
