Return to ship
Follow the markers to Captain Kol t'Yo (caught you) who threatens that the Split are strong and asks what Ren wants with the Xenon. Once convinced that Ren is not with the Argon navy he commissions the Albion Skunk to visit some Split that live with the Argon to get reliable information about the intentions of the Argon navy. Return to the Albion Skunk and start following the highways back to the Omicron Lyrae Jump Gate. On leaving the zone Yisha comments about having a lonely Split heading to Argon space and that she is worried. Sky Meadows in Maelstrom/Sigma Sector/Alpha Quadrant is the closest suitable base to drop off the Split passenger. Kol t'Yo says he will look for a worthy Split to talk to and Ren offers to get some supplies for the Split base however, Kol t'Yo says there is no need but he would like Ren to "tribute" some gifts. If the <player> has been looting boxes/lockers on station platforms and been picking up containers dropped by dead ships without selling anything from the inventory then it is highly likely that the 25 units of Medical Equipment and 40 units of Teladianium Panelling have already been acquired. Return to space and wait until Kol t'Yo contacts the Albion Skunk wishing to return home. While on this station employee details can be asked for Kol t'Yo which may make one question his competence as a leader. Kol t'Yo shows surprise that the Argon on the station are not cowering in his presence and returns to the Albion Skunk where he then contacts Ren about collecting Xenon Components for Split researchers of the lower caste. Back at Lost Colony talk to Kol t'Yo again who thanks Ren for his help and Yisha then comms saying the Argon navy is back. Return to the Albion Skunk to witness an argument between the Split and Bayes. It is revealed that the Split plan to destroy the Xenon is to weaken them by planting bombs on their stations. The Split choose to use the Albion Skunk to deliver the bombs using a camouflage device.

- Fly to: Shattered Singularity
- Enter: Trojan ROV

Bayes says scouts have reported highways leading to Xenon installations. The plan is to land on the Xenon stations plant the bombs and then the rest of the fleet will join the Albion Skunk to finish off the Xenon. Follow the markers to Sable Vortex where Bayes will wish the Albion Skunk luck. A Xenon Branch 9 I Destroyer will be patrolling this sector so is best avoided. Follow the markers to Venturous Profit where a unique lockbox containing the Kha'ak Talon of the Kha'ak Relic Collection can be found in a broken sphere to the west of the station. keep following the markers to Cryptic Heart where Yisha says to "play it cool" and finds the docking bays of the stations are locked down and will need to be hacked.
Bug: During this section no trade deals can be initiated
Use the long range scanner on the northern most station to find a unique lockbox on the underside containing the Computronium of the Ancient Relics Collection. As this item has the potential to be lost when the stations are destroyed collect it while the Xenon are still friendly.Bug: During this section no trade deals can be initiated
As before with hacking park the Albion Skunk a short distance from the target station on the Z axis and hack the marked locations. It takes 1-2 perfect hack challenges to complete the hack on each station but can take up to 8. Dock at the now un locked docking pad and Yisha will comment "How is it?" to which Ren responds "Creepy...". Yisha then marks a specific box on the platform to plant the bomb and warns the Xenon are getting curious. The interior of the platform is a unique tubular design with a few random skeletons on the floor and several other boxes to loot but no threats. Place the bomb, return to the Albion Skunk and repeat with the second station where Yisha says "we've been made". Return to the Albion Skunk to find the Xenon are once again hostile.
Assault
- Fly to: AG Awran
Patrol: Cryptic Heart - Destroy: XEN Xenon Station
- Destroy: XEN Xenon Station
Patrol: Cryptic Heart
Despite only planting 2 bombs Bayes says that will have to do and to return to the AG Awran. There is then dialog about how fighters will clear path and the Albion navy will then follow while the Split volunteer to lead the final assault. Bayes says she cannot force the <player> to follow orders but recommends they are obeyed. Follow the fighter wing back to Cryptic Heart. On arrival the bombs do not respond so Yisha suggests taking out a module or two. This means just shooting at the stations for a while. After a while the bombs detonate and commander Borman and Nakano show up to join the party. It seems Plutarch has lost control of their Xenon tech due to the Xenon interfacing with them. After killing a few Xenon ships the second bomb detonates and the Albion Skunk is warned to avoid the blast area. Several random Xenon ships will be marked for termination (usually including a marauding Xenon I which will singlehandedly thrash the fleet except for the invulnerable ships). There are several options now for how to pass the time including going to town on the Xenon I or trying to loot Weapon Mods from the numerous dying small craft. After a while Bayes says that should be it, Borman says the Xenon are becoming problematic in Albion, the Split demand to lead the task force to eliminate all Xenon in Maelstrom and Plutarch is falling. A cinematic sequence plays about the epilogue followed by the credits and a second cinematic sequence about Xenon being sighted in DeVries.
Post-game
PMC reputation is now set to -17 and now subject to normal reputation rules so can easily be repaired by killing a few SS raiding parties near PMC stations. The Plasma Cannon Mk2 is now available from mechanics at all stations. Xenon fight missions are now available from all stations in all systems. As both relic collections have been completed the Mk5 shields can be obtained and even swapped for another type suiting a different play style.
The <player> is now free to build stations, board exotic ships and enjoy themselves.
