The Flame Of Rebellion

The Flame of Rebellion is one of the N.W.S/Wolphax quests in The Long Journey Home.

Description
Once the player finished the Democracy In Action quest successfully, it is possible to ask for work, insult the Wolphax, or talk about the Wolphax topic again. The Wolphax serfs on any planet will recognize the player as a friend of the N.W.S and ask him to help starting the revolution on all Wolphax planets by bombing a Wolphax starport. If the player takes the Big Asteroid Rocket, the quest will start. It is not necessary to visit the N.W.S planet to do this. Any Wolphax planet has a small chance.

The player has to go to an asteroid belt close to the Wolphax starport and attach the weapon to an asteroid. Afterwards the player has to visit the destroyed starport, which is indeed vaporized. El-Zia Tchara of the Black is waiting there and thanking the player for starting the rebellion. The reward is The Symbol of the N.W.S., approximately 800-950 and the "REBEL ALLIANCE" achievement. The Wolphax are now hostile and the N.W.S friends. All planets in the galaxy switch allegiance to the N.W.S and remain friendly to the player.

If the player sells the Big Asteroid Rocket or loses it due to a cargo scan (Wolphax Marshalls do not care), El-Zia Tchara of the Black will try to kill the player.

Bugs
This quest is actually an alternative to the quest "Democracy in Action" on later planets and it handles the matter of independance more proactively. The problem is all planets are eligible to have the independance quest, but even if one is already freed under the N.W.S, many of the planets on your journey will ask you to do the same and not switch to the rebellion. However, the petition is instantly rejected with a short bewildered insult by the Wolphax noble at any given time. You need to be lucky to find a planet flagged with this quest from the beginning and the chance is clearly below 20%. With roughly 4 Wolphax planets in a seed if you visit all sectors, expect a lot of runs to get this rare achievement. No planet in any run is guaranteed to have this quest, it is one of the rarest feats in the game.
