What artifact is needed to do the mission? I can't mouseover at the moment, as I'm on a phone...

Mission 3: Civil War
After a perfectly innocent comment from an Android Scientist, the Android Helmsmen have rallied to VARA's defense. The androids of your ship are now at war, and pandemonium reigns. You must subdue the insurrection before it does critical damage to the ship. Lead a squad of loyalists to the cargo hold and then detonate EMP Spheres at key locations to quell the fighting. There is a strong chance that this may permanently disable some of the androids nearby when this happens.
Put Down Riots 100 Energy 1 EMP Sphere 0/40 - Chance of losing 5 Scientists or Helmsmen per Completion You have completed this mission 0 of 11 times
Reward: Pile of Android Bodies Gives +100 Hull and +50 Cloak Each upgrade gives a 50% boost, up to 500% (You strap the bodies of the dead androids to the outside of the ship, to serve as an example. As the pile grows, the hull is better protected. The hum of their still-partially-functioning circuitry serves to jam incoming scans)

Wow, all planets get a 4% boost or just one of your choosing? Either way, very nice ship mod.

To avoid confusion, we've updated the module ability description. The ability is used on a targeted planet.

Like Trellith then. Anyway the cool down could be 46 hrs and it only lasts 46 hrs on a planet so we don't loose time like we do on the Trellith ability?

A super mini Trellith. When it came out everyone was super excited but then realized that they'd only be using the ability on 3 planets. this one will only be used on 2 planets most of the time. but my point was the trellith goes 72 hrs and if you miss re-setting it by 30 min or 10, then it pushes you back until eventually you lose hours overnight till you can start again in the morning. I'd like this one to be a little under the 48 hrs so we don't have the same problem.
