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.

25% of the time (a 1/4 dice result) the mission fires an event instead of its normal reward: one of the 11 events below is drawn, and you pick a response. Bracketed names like [character] show the real names in game.
