Caven’s Pirate Crew Equipment Boxes (Including Magnetic Charges)

Caven’s crew carries these boxes into Beacon Alpha One’s airlock, unpacking tools and components such as magnetic charges and rocket propulsion units for sabotage. The magnetic charges are later clamped onto Beacon Alpha One's hull by space-walkers, detonating remotely to destroy the facility. Crew members hustle under Caven’s barked orders and Dervish’s tense watch, rigging the facility for detonation. The boxes and their contents (including the magnetic charges) clutter the space amid urgent preparations, fueling the pirates’ swift, destructive operation.

Pirates sabotage Beacon Alpha One

The magnetic charges are attached to Beacon Alpha One’s hull by the space-walkers, alongside the rocket propulsion unit. These charges are critical to the sabotage, as they will detonate upon receiving the radio signal, shattering the beacon’s structure. Their placement is precise and strategic, ensuring maximum destructive impact while allowing the crew to retreat safely.

Before: Stored within the boxes of equipment, ready for deployment during the space-walk.
After: Attached to the beacon’s hull, armed and ready for detonation via the radio signal.
