The Feud is an event involving two enemy scientific research groups,the GenSci Institute and the Twilight Foundation. Everyone participating had to chose between joining one of the two groups.

The event is split into multiple parts, we took part in in the first one recently.

Part 1 was subdivide into four phases, each one demanding people of the same group to interact with each other to achieve the goals.

Goals and Rewards:

   The goal of Phase 1 was to donate a certain number of credits (GenSci) or creature trophies (Twilight). Making the first donation granted 500xp and determined in which of the two groups the donor would be for the rest of Part 1 of the event.
   To start Phase 2 the members had to visit their group's HQ. The position was reveled only to members with high donation counts (the minority of the members) and thus had to be passed on to the members with low donation counts. The task given by the group leaders was then to infiltrate the other group's HQ and steal some information. Rewards were 200xp for starting the mission and a droid (Tank droid for GenSci and Assassin droid for Twilight) for the first 50 members on each side for completing the mission.
   In Phase 3 a certain hidden number of droids, spread all over the galaxy on Darkness owned planets, had to be activated. There was no direct reward, but it was possible to obtain a Jawa Ionisation Blaster and a Restraining Bolt for Phase 4.
   Once the hidden number of droids to activate was reached Phase 4 started, in which all active droids of the other group had to be destroyed. The reward for everyone participating, regardless of being member of the winning group or not, was 200xp.


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, ultimately leading to Twilight winning Part 1 of the Feud. 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.

At least in the Twilight group the members communicated very actively with each other to achieve the certain goals. During Phase 3 Knightcrawler, Ling Reen and a couple of others managed the coordination of the group members over discord, which was the reason why Twilight was able to win.

The NR called this event "Operation Monochrome."

Both companies asked for "donations" with NPCs standing in the main NPC city of the planet:

  • The GenSci Volunteer NPC asked for 500,000,000 credits. You could make a donation of 100,000 for the start.
  • Initially, the Twilight Volunteer NPC asked for Acklay Claw trophies, 300 altogether. Then, he accepted a wide variety of trophies, at varying different values.

Both NPCs stated that the other company would not accept any donations once donated to their own.

to donate a Streaked Velker trophy. The trophy counted as 5 parts of the 300, the progress is at 22 parts right now. starting the quest (first donation) gives 500 xp.

To add to the list of creature parts credit value: Rancor Tooth: 2 Katarn Skull: 1 Reek Horn: 1 Howlrunner Skull: 0,5 Nerf Horn: 0,5 Gundark Ear: 0,5 Squall Tail: 0,1 Eye-snatcher eye: 0,1 Quizzer Dorsal: 0,1 Boma Tusk: 0,1 Geejaw Beak: 0,1 Crystal Snake Venom: 0,1 Physallis Berry: 0,1 Gizka leg: 0,1

Volunteer NPCs have moved. You may now find them at the entrance room of ANY starport in the galaxy.

The whole Twilight team needed at least 1000 points to proceed to stage 2, now we have to head to the HQ to participate in the next stage. If you started the event by donating the first time you can now try to find the HQ in stage 2.

Donating more trophies yourself only helps to get a more accurate destination from the NPCs when you talk to them, but the thresholds are relatively high. I donated 30 points and get no destination at all. I read somewhere that you probably need 50 points to get at least the sector name and 100 points for the most detailed coords. Seems like TR, TC and Invid have joined forces working on this and know the exact location of the Twilight HQ.


Twilight Foundation has secured a victory for part one. All four phases are now completed. Active droids will still be available for capture and you all can claim your rewards soon.

Tomorrow morning Combine time you can start visiting your Droid commanders inside starports to claim end-of-quest rewards. Both sides can do this.

Galactic Rewards and Impact: Also starting tomorrow morning Combine time you will see a new generic DC available for purchase plus a new enemy will appear in bandit squads for you to loot.

A GNS will be posted tonight featuring story end game and show you next steps for Part two.


Edit: if you spoke to npc and did not get a reward, it will be provided soon.

GenSci (Baby blenderers) and Twilight (Sparkly buggers)

R&D IV "GenSci Institute HQ" (??, ??)

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.

The Feud Begins! (Posted by Baugrems on Year 18 Day 260 2:27)


Two new GNS posts have gone up in case you missed them. Start donating to your team!

Volunteers can be found in any Starport in the galaxy.

Edit: Twilight has reached phase two! GenSci is in a panic and has hired more accountants to process more donations per day. Get those credits in to catch up!

Edit2: GenSci has also reached phase two now. New hints added for both sides. Talk to a volunteer.

UPDATE: Y18 D269 16:56 It is no longer strictly necessary to donate in order to support a side (it will net you 500XP though). You can join in directly at GenSci or Twilight's HQs, if you convince a friendly member of GenSci or Twilight to reveal the location. Onboard their HQ you can talk to an NPC who will allow you to become either a Twilight Supporter or GenSci Supporter and join in on what's known as "Phase 2", without having to donate.

Report any bugs to Kay Dallben and Baugrems.


The Feud Continues... Phases 3 and 4 (Posted by Baugrems on Year 18 Day 274 23:19)


Hey Everyone!


Both teams have been pushing hard and now it is time for phase 3! That said it is time for some DETAILS.


Phase 3: Every civic center in the galaxy has a droid commander that will give you some equipment and instructions. Every DARKNESS or QUEST planet has at least 12 droids on it. You can speak to them as if they were an NPC.

Twilight: Activate your BN-D0 Assassins and deactivate the GenSci R0-L0 Tank Droids.

GenSci: Activate your R0-L0 Tank Droids and deactive the Twilight Assassins.

In total I have placed 500 droids in the galaxy.


Phase 4: Once enough (number not public) droids have been activated both teams will enter phase 4. This is the combat phase. Kill enemy droids but leave your own side's droids alone! Capture or kill until they are all taken care of around the galaxy. First side to conquer all active enemy droids wins.


"WHAT DO WE WIN?!"

Stuff. Though I will say prizes are more of a galactic scale than individual scale. Even if you didn't participate you might see some of the results.


Edit: Added Commanders to Starports. Both teams on phase 3. No more phase 2 rewards available.

Phase 4 of the Feud (Posted by Baugrems on Year 18 Day 284 14:10)


Both teams are now in the final phase. Destroy enemy droids (or your own if you hate winning) and finish it up! Capture or Destroy!


Winner of thise Phase will be winning team. Rewards are ready to go..

   There are droids on all Darkness owned planets except for Derra, Serrocco and the one discovered after the event started.
   On all planets are at least six Assassin and six Tank droids.
   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.

the "we have droids for everyone" in the GNS was a lie, they had 50 to complete phase 2.

talked to a Droid commander in a starport and get a "You finishedthe science feud quest. Good work." 

BN-D0 Assassin Droid = Twilight; R0-L0 Tank Droid = GenSci

  • 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
