Commander Lisa Stevens, a bounty hunter, was making an emergency exit after being attacked by an Imperial Courier. She hyperspaced to Phekda to escape. When I hyperspaced, all of a sudden there were four pink returns on the scanner and the attack alarm went off. When she left hyperspace, in addition to her Cobra Mk.3, four mines and a cargo canister hurtled out of her hyperspace exit cloud. The flight data recorders of all three ships show a similar event.
None show any weapon hits from the attackers, but they all register the firing of weapons.
Of course it's known that the Thargoids used to interrupt a ship's transit through witch space by unknown means. However, it now looks like a pirate group, or more probably INRA, is potentially mastering the same technology - something that is extremely worrying. New Rossyth Research and Development began an urgent investigation to see whether this could be a possibility. We don't know yet - it could be a freak of nature. Links Frontier Developments Alt.
