An alien energy signature was detected several weeks ago. Long range scans suggested it might belong to a powerful source of energy. The sudden appearance of this signature did not go unnoticed and various alien races sent out science and patrol fleets to investigate it.

At the scene of the signature it was clear a mysterious energy artifact was the source. This artifact seemed capable of continuously generating large amounts of energy. The various science fleets all wanted to take the artifact home for further study, with the idea to eventually modify the artifact so it generated the kind of energy most beneficial to them.

Not only did science fleets of various races, hostile to each other, find themselves gathered in the area of the mysterious energy source, the artifact itself was guarded by equally mysterious ships.
News of the artifact spread fast and not before long, all the major space-faring races in the galaxy had heard about it and had sent large war fleets to claim the artifact for themselves. Old alliances were broken, new ones -no doubt temporary- were made. Small factions split off from various races, trying to run off with the artifact while others were fighting over it, if only they could overcome the artifact's guardians.

Everyone wanted to have the artifact's technology for themselves, or at the least co-operate with an ally to share the technology amongst them.

You can participate and fight for yourself or any of these races. For the duration of the event, every time you win a single player game against one of the event decks or a ranked PvP game, you'll gain points. If these victories were made with a deck that contained at least 50% cards belonging to one race, that race gains points as well.

At the end of the event, the races with the most points will claim the artifact and change it so it produces their favored kind of energy. No doubt they will reward those pilots and commanders who helped them win the event.

This event ran during the Alpha testing phase of HD Spectrum and is an exact copy of the first proper event. No rewards were handed out as this was merely a mechanic test.
