Event Text

Your human crewman greets you formally. "Captain, there is something I would like to discuss. You might not be aware of this, but parts of my family live in this system. I made contact and... Sir, I stand by my oath and will do my duty as long as you require it. But with the Rebels advancing here I feel like I should be with my people. I formally request to be relieved of my post."

The flavor text of this beacon varies, and could be any of the following:

• You locate your crew member's home-planet, a busy trade world with loose ties to the Federation. Your crewman should be able to lay low around here, but it is still unclear what will happen to this planet and its people when the Rebels take over the sector.
• You locate your crew member's home-planet, a small independent colony world with no strategic value. Your crewman will be able to rejoin with his/her family, but it is still unclear what will happen to this planet once the Rebels take over the sector.
  • Dismiss your crewman.
