Gas Giant Signal is an anomaly event chain triggered by investigating the anomaly of the same name that can appear on gas giants. The event chain contains numerous special projects, each one requiring a science ship to orbit a targeted gas giant and taking 180 days to complete.

### Gas Giant Signal

*The [science ship name] has picked up some curious readings from [anomaly gas giant name]. There are significant pockets of radiation in the gas giant's atmosphere that appear to be the result of intense orbital bombardment. What someone could hope to gain by bombing a gas giant from orbit remains a mystery however.

As the [science ship name] was preparing to break orbit, Science Officer [science ship scientist name] discovered a weak signal coming from the planet's interior. It may be a transmission of some kind, but the gas giant's background radiation makes it difficult to isolate.*

None

**We should investigate this signal.*** Issue Special Project: Isolate Signal

Special Project Completed

*Science Officer [science ship scientist name] has managed to isolate the weak signal that was coming from somewhere deep inside the atmosphere of [anomaly gas giant name]. It does indeed appear to be a transmission, and we have filtered it through our translation software.*

Gas Giant Signal

**On screen.*** The gas giant is renamed to "Tollok Rong"
* Establish dialogue with the gas giant civilization

Special Project Failed

*The weak signal we picked up coming from the interior of the gas giant [anomaly gas giant name] has faded. We shall never learn of its origin.*

Gas Giant Signal

Special Project Completed

*Science Officer [science ship scientist name] has finished supervising the relocation of the Dathnak to their new home. A convoy of civilian freighters equipped with massive pressurized gas tanks ferried the gaseous beings across space and deposited them into the gas giant's atmosphere. Their ancient transmitter and scanner array were also brought along.*

Agreed to help

**Hail them.*** The gas giant is renamed Baldarak
* Add **+5**  Society Research to Baldarak
* **Dathnak Capital** modifier added

Special Project Failed

*The conditions on Tollok Rong have deteriorated to the point where the Dathnak can no longer be saved. The radiation has spread across most of the atmosphere, and the Dathnak survivors have retreated even deeper towards the planet's core where communication with the surface is no longer possible. Eventually the radiation will finds its way there as well, rendering their species extinct.*

Agreed to help

### Special Project Completed

*As before, a convoy of freighters was assembled to safely transport the Dathnak colonists inside pressurized gas tanks. After a brief journey, they successfully made planetfall on the gas giant which they have named "New Baldarak." A satellite was left in orbit to allow for long-range communication with Baldarak.*

Agreed to help a second time

**Make the most of it, Dathnak.*** The gas giant is renamed New Baldarak
* Add **+5**  Society Research to New Baldarak
* **Dathnak Colony** modifier added

### Special Project Completed

*A single cargo tug hauling a gas canister has arrived at Baldarak under escort by the [science ship name]. The contents of the canister have been released into the gas giant's atmosphere, safely returning the Dathnak colonist to her home.*

Agreed to help a third time

### Special Project Completed

*Our investigation of New Baldarak has revealed nothing out of the ordinary. The satellite the colony used to communicate with their capital is still functional as far as we can tell.*

Agreed to help a fourth time

Special Project Completed

*A cargo tug escorted by the [science ship name] has stealthily dropped the cargo pod containing the revolutionary commando unit into Baldarak's atmosphere. Moments later, flashes can be seen coming from deep within the gas giant's cloud layer. Could it be signs of fighting?*

Agreed to help the rebellion

Special Project Completed

*Several freighters under escort by the [science ship name] have dropped the cargo canisters carrying the Dathnak expeditionary force into New Baldarak's atmosphere. Moments later flashes can be seen coming from beneath the gas giant's cloud layer. The fighting appears to have started.*

Agreed to help the government
