Overview

The Yaki Investigation plot explores emerging tensions between the Yaki and the Terran Protectorate with the former in the process of launching raids against the latter. The plot was introduced in the Cradle of Humanity DLC and 4.0 "Introducing Terraforming" update. In the plot the player gets to learn about the involved factions, their goals and gets to select between a multitude of outcomes with wide-reaching outcomes.

Pre-requisites

Outcomes

The player is able to select between a combination of outcomes:

  • Activate Amplifier
  • Destroy Amplifier
  • Ignore Amplifier
  • Inform Terrans
  • Misinform Terrans

Some of these options are inherently mutually exclusive, others can become mutually exclusive depending on the order in which they are competed. For simplicity, the inherently mutually exlcusive options are outlined below before the other options are discussed.
