Extreme Environment - How To Remove Environmental Damage?

Talk To Alban Lopez

When you talk to Alban, you'll discover that the LIST satellites have been disabled by the Spacers. It will be necessary for you to undertake satellite repairs in order to restore communication functionality.

Prepare For A Space Combat With Several Spacer Scarab

There are several hostile enemies on the way to the satellite. Although you may be outnumbered, you can easily defeat them by using the Targeting Control Systems to lock onto enemy ships with precision or employ the Automated Weapon Systems to effortlessly attack enemies as you navigate your starship.

Repair The Lopez Communication

Proceed with caution as you approach the Lopez Satellite then repair and establish a connection with Alban Lopez. After you have successfully restored the Lopez family estate, your next task is to repair the remaining family satellites within the system.

Repair The Other Communication Satellites

The other satellites are just across the other planets in the system so you can just fast travel to the location. Take note that you will have to face another set of Spacer Scarabs on the way.

Report Back To Alban Lopez On Jacquelyn's Ship

Navigate to J. Lemaire's Ship and safely dock to board inside. Unfortunately, it appears the Wens didn't survive the Spacer attack. The remaining family members are in a meeting discussing their next steps. Kindly wait until the meeting is finished to talk to Alban Lopez.

Help Kick The Spacers Out Of The System

Alban will request your assistance in bringing the other families together for a shared Defense Pact to prevent further casualties from external threats.

Get Jacquelyn To Join Defense Pact

Jacquelyn, bearing in mind the high stakes and the past transgressions with Alban, is quite hesitant to join the Defense Pact. To successfully persuade Jacquelyn, you'll need to accumulate a minimum of five Persuasion Points over the course of three turns.

Get Banda To Join Defense Pact

Contrary to Jacquelyn, persuading Chanda to grant permission for the Bandas to join the Defense Pact should be a straightforward task. Once accomplished, report back to Alban Lopez.

Eliminate Spacer Ships

Following the establishment of the Defense Pact amongst the LIST Famillies, Alban will request the task of eliminating two Spacer ship contact groups orbiting near Ampere and Volt before you return to his farm.

Report Back To Alban Lopez On Magnar

Upon your return, Alban shares that he has used the communication satellites to pinpoint the Spacers' conversations to get crucial information, all while they remained preoccupied in the midst of your intense space skirmish.

Astonishingly, Alban has discovered that the Spacers are covertly operating from a long-forgotten, derelict Starstation, which now serves as their secret base of operations.

Clear Out Spacer Ships Orbiting Faraday

Alban and Banda will assist you in eliminating the Spacer starships outside. Once you've dealt with the Spacer's starships, board the Retrofitted Starstation and attack the remaining Spacers inside. You'll be facing a substantial number of Spacers, so be sure to gear up with an ample supply of ammunition and medical supplies, or scavenge for them inside the ship as you go.
