Hardened Warning Beacon
Fight the Blade Breakers, an AI-enslaved faction with shadowy motives and unclear goals, designed around doing mobile-alpha-damage trickery right back to you - with interest. Blow up their ships, salvage their bases for loot, and steal their gear - their weapons are highly effective, and some of their AI-controlled drone ships can be used as auxiliaries in your own fleets.
Blade Breakers spawn in a single fixed constellation to the galactic South, with optional procedural spawns that you can enable in the settings file. Look out for special, hardened warning beacons with unique intel icons.
