UES Contact Light
The UES Contact Light is the ship that is destroyed in the opening scene of Risk of Rain, resulting in a Survivor landing on the planet in an escape pod.
The Contact Light was a transport vessel that was supposed to carry over 7 million crates of cargo to the Procyon system, but received an unknown signal from a [REDACTED] request that lured the ship's crew into Petrichor V's home system. Five days into the detour, Providence teleported into cargo hold 1 via a Teleporter that had mysteriously been placed on board. Providence then proceeded to destroy the vessel by breaching its hull in multiple areas, and setting the ship afire. The vessel then crashed onto the planet, with most of the crew dying on impact.
Eventually, a group of Survivors, overcoming all enemies in their path, managed to kill Providence, scavenged what they could of the Contact Light and escaped offworld to parts unknown.
