			\|On the last stretches of the jump to E-14b, the SEV Torch is confronted by the Legion-controlled SFV Capanaeus (with its commanding officer, Caine, now a Legion shepherd and fused with the ship's positronic AI) and SFV Curio.<br><br>The Capanaeus assaults the Torch, sending Legion units aboard and launching an electronic attack on the ship's systems – aided by the two survivors rescued from the SEV Sagittarius, who reveal themselves to have been subverted by the Legion. After fighting off the intruders, the Torch launches a counterattack and sends crew to board the docked Capanaeus.<br><br>There they find a scene of dread and decay: Legion-controlled automated turrets and Fleet boarding bots, as well as Shepherd FIND, Caine's champion. Defeating FIND and disabling the ship's subverted Alden-Saraspova drive allows the Torch's Bluespace drive to activate and take the Torch out of the system – ripping the Capanaeus apart in the process.<br><br>The SFV Curio manages to escape the incident, though not unharmed.

Beyond that, the Torch's next assignment is also detailed – along with a controversial non-disclosure agreement signed by all members regarding their discoveries of the Legion.<br><br>The information and experience brought by the Torch and other vessels is likely to aid in the ongoing containment efforts of the Legion by the Solar Fleet, as combat experience and time in conflict with the Legion grows.<br><br>For now, though: the SEV Torch returns to its usual exploratory duties, in a section of stars far, far away from Anderson-Eta.
