Your search for political allies has led to an event...

The character's rating shifts the dice where a Rating influence is shown, but does not change the reward amounts.

Events

⚠ Weights are not in-game odds. Each event also needs its character and empire conditions to hold, and some of those are hidden in game, so how often it really fires can differ a lot from its weight.

29% of the time (a 2/7 dice result) the mission fires an event instead of its normal reward: one of the 4 events below is drawn, and you pick a response. Bracketed names like [character] show the real names in game.
