Form an Alliance with the Trandals

The Trandals appear to be some kind of augmented species.

1. Encounter a Trandal ship. They can be found in the Corpus systems.
2. Don’t accept the upgrades. It will tell you to go to Pyst in Epsilon Llvoren and interact with the Ruins there.
3. Go back and speak with a Trandal ship, if you refuse the upgrades again it will reveal the Trandals are actually husks controlled by an AI named Overmind.
4. It will then give a choice between upgrades or spreading Overmind. You can attack it instead which will open another path to allying with the Overmind.
5. There are several ways to ally with the Overmind:
   • Accept the upgrades.
     • After accepting the upgrades you will experience some unpleasantness. Speak with Star Control to learn more.
     • Remove the infection from your ship with the help of the Free Trandlals. See quest Help the Free Trandals.
   • Spread Overmind by taking its devices to the following planets:
     • Beta Itzpapalotl B I;
