After Captain Froe took the bounty from PGC for the Initial Discovery Report on Cyclops, her crew enjoyed a night on the town and bragged about their Discovery including showing off some of the photos of the primitives they discovered. They were overheard by Garret Black, a sathar agent.
Garret's report to his handler resulted in the sathar discovering a potential contact with an old enemy as the proto heliopes were recognized. Garret was ordered by his handler to higher Captain Froe at any price to take him to the planet Cyclops and then transmit the location to the sathar and eliminate the crew.
The ship was sabotaged, most of the crew killed and Garret now awaits the arrival of his sathar masters. One crew member managed to rig a radio beacon to call for help to any ship entering the system.
