You detect what seems to be an abandoned ship.
You recognize it as a Shade.
Scans show no life signs and none of its systems are active.
There may be portal technology on board.
Tickytickytango Some F-15 Starts scanning the Shade
Jesus3747
There are no life signs aboard and none of the systems are active.
Nothing on board is generating any heat whatsoever.
There is no movement within the ship.
Tickytickytango The fighters ask a nearby corvette to investigate the object...
Jesus3747
The corvette finds the same ship in the same place
Scans show the same results.
Tickytickytango XD
...The corvette decides to board the ship ...
Jesus3747
Is the boarding party wearing vacuum-sealed suits or hazard suits of any kind?
Do they have medical supplies?
Do they have weapons?
What other kinds of equipment do they have?
Tickytickytango Yes they have suits for the vacuum, but these only hold the radiation for a short time, if they are exposed too long, it will surely take effect. Their weapons are Plasma-based although their secondary weapon uses physical ammunition instead of energy and yes, each squad has a doctor, and assuming that only one squadron boarded the ship, they would surely manage on their own.
Tickytickytango Cutters, thrusters (jetpacks) and some grenades are their equipment.

The ship is cold and dark, likely a result of the heating and lighting being offline. It feels eerie.
The boarding party finds corpses of a races they have never seen before. Are these the Darkness? Why are they all dead? There are no obvious signs of injury on any of the corpses.
The life support system is inactive because it has no power, but otherwise fully functional.
The reactors are offline, but could be easily reactivated.
The FTL drive is unlike any you have seen before, it seems to be augmented with some sort of strange technology, this is likely what allows the darkness to travel between dimensions. Unfortunately, it is damaged beyond recreation. The damage seems to have been intentional.
Aside from that, the ship seems to be in pristine condition.
There seems to be no harmful radiation on board the craft.
we don't like humans, but if you stay out of our asteroid belts, you'll be fine.
Small Update
- Added Marauder/Prowlers
The thing that makes these ships great is that @Jesus3747 made them with one hand!
ClassicJam although it is more difficult than normal, and (according to me) it is more difficult to write with only one hand.
@Jesus3747
It seems that the crew of the Shade did not die of asphyxiation.
The boarding party thinks it may be worth investigating.
Tickytickytango they start to investigate...
Jesus3747
A more detailed autopsy would require more equipment. They probably have what they need back on the corvette
Jesus3747 One of my earliest factions had the exact same name "Earth Federation", or EFED. It's called a little different now, but I'm still going to have to make a database for her. Do You mind if they have a same names (because my EFED and Your EF exist in different universes)?
Amazing, but in the structure of the fleets, they also have a lot of common. But my EFED has 9 fleets.
