The The Beagle is derelict ship found adrift above Zelazny I during Operation Starseed in Starfield.
Background[]
The Beagle is the second ship of the Operation Starseed expedition, the other being the Galathea, which remained on Charybdis III and its parts were used to build the Facility and Crucible. Finding a suitable planet took too long, Dr. Chiang believed that there was no more time and decided to start an experiment on the planet Charybdis III, which did not fully meet the criteria and had only half of the genetic material, changing the program settings. The remaining researchers decided to continue searching for a suitable planet on the Beagle. In the Bel system, the ship met with 3 pirate ships, captain Lapido tried to pay off, but the pirates still attacked. The enemies were destroyed, but the ship was badly damaged, half the crew died. The Beagle was able to make the jump to the Zelazny system, but after that the engines failed and the ship was left drifting in space.
