## Events

The MFK Gunboat Ace is encountered at the Node 17 Memorial.

Surrender Text (3 HP): *Around you, you can see Rebel ships beginning to flee as the Federation forces pull them back. Their last hope, the gunboat and your target, has already taken critical damage. You have to keep fighting!*

* Though the MFK Gunboat Ace has a "surrender", no additional options are present. It simply serves as extra flavor text mid-way through the fight.

Destruction Event: *The Gunboat has received critical damage, too much for it to sustain. It's artillery system crackles and the engines explode. The ship goes spiraling down into the nearby lake. It explodes one last time once it collides with the water, showering the coast. The sight of their leading ship dispatched so efficiently is enough to chase away the rest of the rebels. Every last hostile ship jumps away, leaving the Federation the undisputed victor.*

* This event then links to the Memorial Victory

Crew Kill Event: *The lifeless gunboat begins to plummet towards the ground. It smashes into the coast, erupting into a glorious display of flames, though luckily it causes no damage to any of the infrastructure of the city. The sight of their leading ship dispatched so efficiently is enough to chase away the rest of the rebels. Every last hostile ship jumps away, leaving the Federation the undisputed victor.*

* This event then links to the Memorial Victory

### Memorial Victory:

This event occurs once the MFK Gunboat Ace has been defeated using any method.
*You are hailed by a Federation officer in the city, who requests that you land. As you exit your vessel, all around civilians cheer for you. You recognize Vice Admiral Adara, the voice who spoke to you. "You have done us a great service today. I do not know how to thank you for protecting this city. I have heard stories, well, myths and legends really, of the Multiverse Travelers, and I've always been skeptical. Now, all of my doubts have been assuaged."*

* *Adara puts a shiny medal around your neck, an honor that you will carry on for life, assuming you succeed in your mission. Every support ship in the district is dispatched to aid you in every way they can.*

* Repairs 30 Hull, gives a high standard reward, and a random Federation loot weapon

* *As you are leaving, Adara pulls you aside to tell you one last thing. "This package, it is extremely important that it arrives to Tully in time. I don't have time to bring it to him myself, but I know I can trust you with it. Godspeed, captain."*

* Gives Tully's Package

* Removes Federation Notoriety.

## Trivia

* The Gunboat used to not reveal itself to the player until after they had chosen to fight it. This was later changed due to being unfair, especially due to the low minimum sector # of the Federation Controlled Sector
* The Gunboat uses the MFK Ace color scheme.
