PROFESSION · RECOVERY

Derelict Recovery

Work coherent derelict sites for intact systems, cargo, records, recoverable assemblies, and the physical materials surrounding them.

Derelict Recovery needs both recovery hardware and survey capability.You need the machinery to extract coherent systems and enough scanning capability to identify what is worth recovering from a suitable derelict site.

THE LOOP

What the career actually does.

01Find or activate a derelict site

→

02Bring recovery + survey capability

→

03Recover coherent material and systems

→

04Manage cargo, condition, and Crew

→

05Use, sell, process, or reverse-engineer the haul

IN GAME

What this looks like.

Derelict Recovery appears when you are operating at a suitable derelict site and your ship has both recovery and survey capability. Unlike targeted harvesting, it does not use a resource-target selector.

DISCOVERED SITE · DEIMOS REGION

Forgotten Wreck Cluster

Coherent derelict industrial wreckage and scattered debris

Local actions

Recovery hardwareSalvage power drives physical recovery speed.

Survey capabilityRequired to identify and work coherent derelict systems.

Coherent findsHardware, records, data, and materials depend on the site and loot pool.

GEOGRAPHY

Derelict Recovery happens at suitable derelict sites.

Exploration can turn regional wreck survey data into location data for a temporary site such as a Forgotten Wreck Cluster. The parent region still matters because discovered wreck sites inherit the surrounding recovery ecology.

OUTPUT

Coherent assemblies are the defining opportunity, not a guaranteed drop.

The ordinary recovery table still contains structural scrap, machinery, electronics, field coils, reactor/drive/shield hardware, recovered data, and other material. Usable equipment and schematic knowledge are notable bonus finds rather than routine output.

MaterialsRecover industrial salvage and coherent hardware feedstock.

RecordsRecovered data and technical evidence can have value beyond their mass.

EquipmentUsable components can appear as notable coherent recoveries.

SchematicsKnowledge may surface directly, while physical equipment can also become Reverse Engineering specimens.

WHERE IT LEADS

A coherent find can enter several systems.

UseInstall usable recovered equipment when it fits your ship.

SellMove recovered materials, equipment, or knowledge through local markets.

ProcessTurn salvage materials into standardized industrial inputs.

Reverse engineerConsume physical manufactured equipment as specimens toward schematic reconstruction.

StoreHold valuable recoveries for later fitting, production, sale, or analysis.
