The Overlook was a Sanchez-Class Science Vessel megaship operated by Black Flight. It was stationed in HIP 22460 to support Project Seraph's studies of ancient Thargoid Surface Sites found in the system. Shortly before the onset of the Second Thargoid War in 3303, just as Black Flight was planning to vacate the system, the Overlook was attacked by the Thargoids and left permanently disabled. Independent pilots finally gained access to HIP 22460 and discovered the derelict vessel on August 26, 3307.

ATTENTION BLACK FLIGHT OPERATIVES Thargoid forces have been reported in numerous systems. Superpower military presence in the Pleiades likely to increase. Major news coverage is imminent. Continued knowledge suppression efforts are untenable. An immediate withdrawal order has been issued. Squadron leaders must ensure all Project Seraph personnel have evacuated HIP 22460. When complete, all operatives are to return to their designated ports for debriefing and reassignment. |

BLACK BOX RECORDING Are all operatives docked and ready to go? Thank you. Final telemetry checks? Good. I think we're about done with this system, don't you? Initiate the hyperspace jump. -Frame shift drive surge detected- -Shield damage detected- Status report. What the hell was that? I want all turrets firing. Everything we have. Give me something to work with, Clayton. Who's hitting us? How many? -Shield damage detected- I don't believe you. Check again. -Shield failure detected- Mayday, mayday! This is the Overlook, requesting immediate backup in HIP 22460. We are under attack from Thargoid vessels. Repeat, we are under atta-- RECORDING ENDS |
Notes[]
- Originally, Overlook was a Flight Operations Carrier megaship under the control of the Pleiades Resource Enterprise, a Federation-aligned minor faction. However, HIP 22460's permit was unobtainable at the time, and only players who had visited the system and scanned it before it was permit-locked were able to view its System Map and see Overlook. At the same time as the system permit was made available on August 26, 2021, Overlook was retconned from a Flight Operations Carrier to a Sanchez-Class Science Vessel.
