Hardspace Shipbreaker : Part 13 First Gekko Attempt
Scottish Bex is back in Episode 13 of her Hardspace Shipbreaker solo series, and with Cutting Rank 14 now unlocked, she’s officially cleared for Hazard Level 8 — that’s right, Radiation is now on the board. But strangely, there’s no training session. No briefing. No warning from HAL or even a half-hearted pep talk from Weaver. Just a quiet upgrade and a looming sense of dread.
Will this be the shift radiation finally shows its face? Or is the danger still waiting in the shadows?
This time, Bex is assigned her first Gekko-class ship — the Celestial Vancouver XV, a Station Hopper Transport last owned by Tiber Transplanetary, and worth a hefty $34.5 million. It’s a massive, intricate vessel packed with lower-level thrusters, a Class II reactor, and a power core nestled deep inside its structure.
Gekko ships are a whole new beast. Bigger frames, more internal complexity, and an entirely different layout philosophy. Salvaging this kind of vessel takes strategy, patience, and a steady hand. There’s no radiation this time — the ship’s only rated at Hazard Level 7 — but even without it, the risks are real.
Scottish Bex navigates the layered structure of the Celestial Vancouver, learning on the fly how Gekko ships flow and where the hidden dangers lie. It’s a tough but rewarding introduction to a whole new class of salvage, and a necessary trial before the glowing green nightmares eventually make their appearance.
