Lore

The wreck of the Alycon is a downed Atreides military frigate located in Hagga Basin South. It has been heavily looted by scavengers, and long since abandoned by its crew. While it's abandoned, the ship has retained a few active power systems, keeping some of the deeper parts of the ship safe from would be looters via penta shields that require access bands to breach. It's notable for containing an armory behind a penta shield that contains a unique schematic, the Khalif's Drinker.


It's possible that the name is a reference to Greek mythology (Halcyone) like many names found throughout the game.


It is the first shipwreck in the game that the player will encounter, meant to teach them about the shipwreck mechanic. It is the only shipwreck to be safe from PvP.

Ensign Meredith: Mayday, mayday! This is Ensign Meredith, commanding Alcyon. Lieutenant Lycres is down. The convoy is under sustained attack! They knew where we'd be. We've lost contact with our group leader, Kytheria.

Alcyon Crewman: My God! Look at them all. It's horizon to horizon jet flares out there!

Ensign Meredith: Belay that chatter! We have sustained several direct hits, and we're losing trim badly. We're going to try to set her down... Our emergency transponder is active. Godspeed everyone.
