Quick disclaimer, this event won’t need any big fleets or anything, just a decently sized group of characters. Will mostly be exploring, unravelling secrets, a few fights. Kinda like DnD or something
A rather complex and strong signal is sweeping its way through the Galaxy, if the importance of the contents warrants such transmission, may be debatable. The transmission contains a file, no virus of sorts, just a jumble of odd data, some parts corrupted or clouded.

It appeared to be an automated message, triggered by a timer. There were a few files which could have had an explanation for this odd signal, but were sadly corrupted. But on a brighter note, there was a voice recording attached, of an old woman who may have anticipated that nobody could make sense of this signal.
OPENING VOICE RECORDING…
…
…
…
You heard papers moving, buttons being pressed, and an old woman clearing her throat. “Hello? Hello? Can you hear me?” She spoke in a strong dialect “AH, right… Hah, nobody could respond, this is a recording after all.”
… There was a moment of silence, as she took a deep breath
“I’m uncertain if this old machine even works, or if there is anyone out there to receive this message, but there are no other options.” There was sorrow in her voice, hopelessness.
“But if there is anyone out there, we need your help. Our planet has been overtaken by this… Dark force, only a single green patch remains. Only with your help, there may be a chance to reverse this, after all these generations.
You must find the princess of roses, do as she wants as desires. Our paths shall cross, only then I can explain in further detail. I hope you will forgive my cryptic ways, soon it will make sense.”
…
“We need you.”
The message ends.
Since it was a very strong signal, it could easily be traced back to a singular planet, deep inside the Galaxy. The planet was shrouded in darkness, as the woman mentioned, with only a single green area remaining, the size of a small country.
