Firstly, the group volunteers were sent to neutral planets - and later to any starport - in order to ask for support in different ways. GenSci was crowdfunding for 500 million credits, Twilight was looking for 300 Acklay Claw trophies. The latter changed its target soon after, accepting a wide variety of trophies, at varying different values (e.g., Rancor Tooth: 2; Katarn Skull and Reek Horn: 1; Howlrunner Skull, Nerf Horn, and Gundark Ear: 0,5; Squall Tail, Eye-snatcher eye, Quizzer Dorsal, Boma Tusk, Geejaw Beak, Crystal Snake Venom, Physallis Berry, and Gizka leg: 0,1), and raising the threshold to 1000 points. It must be said that daily limits on donations were set, and although many believed that collecting a number of trophies was more difficult than giving cash, the Twilight supporters filled the gap more quickly and managed to reach their quota before the GenSci supporters.

About one week later, after reaching the initial target, the supporters were led to visit their group's headquarters. However, due to general mistrust, the HQ location was disclosed only to the supporters who donated the most; this minority had to pass the information down to the rest of the supporters. Once arrived at the HQ, people were given a datapad and instructions to infiltrate the other group's HQ to steal valuable information. The first 50 individuals who completed the mission were rewarded with a brand new military droid: the R0-L0 Tank Droid for GenSci and the BN-D0 Assassin Droid for Twilight. [[The Resistance]], [[Triumvirate Coalition]], and [[Invid Order]] joined forces working on this and knew the exact location of the Twilight HQ.

The Science Feud was an event involving two enemy scientific research groups: the GenSci Institute and the Twilight Foundation. The feud lasted from Day 260 to Day 287 of Year 18. Both groups spread their volunteers in the galaxy to raise public awareness on their aims and collecting funds. Many galactic citizens decided to support one group of another, and of course they became unpopular with each other.

What initially seemed to be a simple request to support one's cause, later it became apparent that stiff competition took over, up to the point of having both sides spying on each other. Four main stages in this "conflict" can be observed.

Phase One

Firstly, the group volunteers were sent to neutral planets - and later to any starport - in order to ask for support in different ways. GenSci was crowdfunding for 500 million credits, Twilight was looking for 300 Acklay Claw trophies. The latter changed its target soon after, accepting a wide variety of trophies, at varying different values (e.g., Rancor Tooth: 2; Katarn Skull and Reek Horn: 1; Howlrunner Skull, Nerf Horn, and Gundark Ear: 0,5; Squall Tail, Eye-snatcher eye, Quizzer Dorsal, Boma Tusk, Geejaw Beak, Crystal Snake Venom, Physallis Berry, and Gizka leg: 0,1), and raising the threshold to 1000 points. It must be said that daily limits on donations were set, and although many believed that collecting a number of trophies was more difficult than giving cash, the Twilight supporters filled the gap more quickly and managed to reach their quota before the GenSci supporters.

Phase Two

About one week later, after reaching the initial target, the supporters were led to visit their group's headquarters. However, due to general mistrust, the HQ location was disclosed only to the supporters who donated the most; this minority had to pass the information down to the rest of the supporters. Once arrived at the HQ, people were given a datapad and instructions to infiltrate the other group's HQ to steal valuable information. The first 50 individuals who completed the mission were rewarded with a brand new military droid: the R0-L0 Tank Droid for GenSci and the BN-D0 Assassin Droid for Twilight. The Resistance, Triumvirate Coalition, and Invid Order joined forces working on this and knew the exact location of the Twilight HQ.

Phase Three

Two weeks later, the third stage can be marked by the search and activation of hundreds of droids hidden all over the galaxy on neutral planets. Special agents called "Droid Commanders" were waiting in civic centres and starports to give instructions and provide the necessary equipment (Jawa Ionisation Blaster and a Restraining Bolt). Every neutral planet had at least 12 droids (six Assassin and six Tank droids) on it, for a total of 500 droids in the whole galaxy. The Twilight supporters had to activate the BN-D0 Assassin droids and deactivate the GenSci's R0-L0 Tank Droids. The GenSci supporters had to activate the R0-L0 Tank Droids and deactivate the Twilight's Assassins. Those droids would be used in the next stage.
Knightcrawler, Ling Reen and a couple of others managed the coordination of the Twilight group's members over the holonet.

Phase Four

The last stage was triggered when enough droids had been activated. A real fight between the two sides broke out capturing or destroying all activated droids belonging to the other group, while keeping safe one's own droids.wins.

Outcome

The first side which conquered all active enemy droids was Twilight Foundation. The result was that the Twilight Assassin droid is now available to production and the GenSci tank droid can now be found in bandit groups.

Other Information

Twilight had a huge advantage in the number of members and thus was able to complete each phase before GenSci was able to do it. Also, in the Twilight group the members communicated very actively with each other to achieve the certain goals.

The NR called this event "Operation Monochrome."

GenSci (Baby blenderers) and Twilight (Sparkly buggers)

R&D IV "GenSci Institute HQ" (45, 71) in-system (10, 13).

Go to Twilight HQ at (136, -32) in-system (10, 13); enter the command room and get the Datapad needed to steal the intel. Travel to the GenSci HQ at (45, 71) and steal their intel. Return to the Twilight HQ.




   There are droids on all Darkness owned planets except for Derra, Serrocco and the one discovered after the event started.
   On a few planets are more than those twelve droids to get to the mentioned total quantity of 500.
   Droids can be anywhere on the planet, except for terrains that are listed as restricted for the droids (any water type, swamp, mountain and volcanic)
   Droids are not inside facilities
   All droids on a planet are grouped together on one single ground coord.
   Droids have to be in sensor range to show up on the map or scanners.
   In phase 4 all droids of the other team have to be eliminated.
   Droids in phase 4 can be destroyed with normal weapons or disabled and captured with ion weapons and stun bolts.
   One single ion blaster and stun bolt can be acquired if you talk to the Droid Commander NPC of your team in any Civic Center or Starport in the whole galaxy.


Total number of unique people who gained a Datapad: 351

With 386 donators

Twilight Droids Activated in Phase 3 (at time of conversion to Phase 4): 138 GenSci Droids Activated in Phase 3 (at time of conversion to Phase 4): 67

Phase4: Total Unique Players who Killed or Disabled at least 1 droid from either side: 64 Total Unique Players who killed or Disabled at least 1 Twilight Droid: 23 Total Unique Players who killed or Disabled at least 1 Gensci Droid: 41 Number of people who killed or disabled at least 1 Twilight Droid AND at least one GenSci Droid: 12

Highest # Twilight Droids killed or Disabled by a single person: 11 Highest # GenSci Droids killed or Disabled by a single person: 8 --- I'll have to get Baugy to double check this, but it looks like 201 droids total were either Disabled or Killed (leaving 4 Twilight Droids still miraculously alive somewhere?), and 161 of those 201 were Disabled. I don't have the number of those that were successfully captured after they were disabled. The neutral droids, being part of a bug, were not counted, and do not appear in the statistics. I think the Highest number of droids activated or deactivated (IE Someone had touched them) at any given point was in the 360 range.


  • Day 260 :: GenSci accuses the Twilight Foundation of the experiments that went wrong causing the Derra Virus
  • Y18D261 11:41 Both GenSci and Twilight Volunteers will now accept a limited number of credits and trophies per person, per day.
  • Day 287 :: Twilight Foundation was victorious in their battle against GenSci
