When encountering a slaver ship, you have a couple of options to acquire a new crew member. You can buy slaves, fight to receive a slave as a bribe, or kill the slaver crew to gain your choice of slaves.
Is there anything that affects which races are involved, or is it completely random?
For example: If I am in an Engi controlled sector, am I more likely to get an Engi from slavers?
Answer
There are a couple different ways to resolve a slaver encounter which will result in new crew members:
- Buy a slave.
- Receive 1 random crew member.
- Using a level 2+ Teleporter.
- Outcomes 1: Receive 1 random crew member and fight the slavers.
- Outcomes 2: Receive 1 random crew member and fight the slavers.
- Outcomes 3: No crew member up front, but fight the slavers.
- Fight the slaver scum.

- Fight the slaver scum.
- See below.
- If you have level 6+ Engines, you can attempt to outrun the slavers. If this fails, you will fight the salvers.
Fighting the slavers:
The outcome of the fight can lead to a new crew member even if you got one through the teleporter dialogue option.
- Slavers surrender.
- Receive 1 random crew member.
- Kill the slaver crew.
- Outcome 1: Receive 1 random crew member.
- Outcome 2: Receive your choice of a Rock, Mantis, or Engi crew member.
- Outcome 3: No crew member.
- Destroy the ship.
- No crew members.
All in all, crew members you receive are of a random race, but there is an option to get your choice of Rock, Mantis, or Engi if you do things correctly.
