There's another medal.

Living Nightmare
While under the effects of 'Bane Nightmare', invade the following types of common/uncommon planets.
Icy, Volcanic, Gas, Barren, Desert

15 medal points

Is the "Bane Nightmare" the same as the "Bane Shriek" bonus gained from the ally ability?

Or is this the 'Bane Horror' from the UST, or is 'Nightmare' something else entirely?

Has any one found any?

found 1 reaver rank 742 had 110k hull 16-18k atk and 14-16k def with 600 cloak. drop was a bane trick

Does it cause "Bane Nightmare"?

not that i noticed when i disabled it...i think there's a mix up between the medal living nightmare and the ability

Legion members rank 500 - 1500 have been alerted to Ephemerar, Bane Stalker

"Shell of Bain: size 19, Cloak 100, Hull 350, max 2 per ship"

one of the drops, I think they are the same as last year.

So this would indicate that there is a much higher-ranked variant, or that people who missed their bane shells in years past are out of luck. Hmmmm!

Out of curiosity, has anyone over rank 1500 actually SEEN a Bane ship so far?

I have not, but I have not NPC'ed much yet.

Zero.

This is fun! Time to reset!

It's officially not the UST effect. Just invaded a Gas planet to check. Didn't give me credit on the medal.

I do not see this medal but rank 850+ do so can I assume it is a drop from a standard npc?
