Derelict Alien Probe Mastered
Derelict Alien Probe exists because the frontier rewards specialized violence. Unaligned keeps this pattern in service where doctrine, profit, or old automation makes it useful. Veteran captains counter it by reading the first exchange: negative resistance data points toward em pressure. Destroyed examples show field repairs, recycled parts, and mission scars that rarely reach official reports. Mastery turns the contact from a threat into a map note: where these hulls gather, a faction priority, derelict order, or hidden route is usually nearby.
