Galaxy on Fire 3

Most wanted criminals are the worst of the worst. They are prominent in Act 1 of Galaxy on Fire 3: Manticore, and are all part of the Gr'Gath pirate gang. They are lead (or more appropriately dictated by) Sh'Gaal, a Vossk female.

Each of the most wanted criminals are cruel beings, and have mostly unique abilities over other enemies. There are 3 categories of most wanted criminals: Helper Boss; Underboss; Boss (Sh'Gaal). Helper Bosses are much easier to defeat than Underbosses, and are more numerous.

Galaxy on Fire 2

Introduced in the Supernova add-on, Most Wanted criminals are those convicted of major crimes and wanted dead or alive for a bounty by the respective faction.

Initially, the Terran bounty board is accessible once Keith delivers the first prism to Brent Snocom on Alioth, and the rest are unlocked after beating all Supernova story missions. Each board provides information about the route on which one particular criminal can be found, and are located only on the respective faction's station[1].

Each most wanted criminal is protected and backed by a team of escorts, and will turn hostile when identified.

There is also a lock feature in the Most Wanted Board; In order to get information on the next criminal you have to defeat the earlier one. This is not the case in extreme difficulty where all the wanted criminals in the respective board are unlocked.

Most Wanted Boards

Each of the four main factions has its own Most Wanted Board. Here is a rundown of each faction's most wanted criminals:

Terran Midorian Nivelian Vossk
Pal Tyyrt Toma Prakupy Borsul Tarand Mrrkt Nimkk

Tips and Tricks

  • Usually you can tell if a Most Wanted is at a station as there are either yellow marked ships shooting at other yellow marked ships, or if you scan a yellow or green ship and they become your enemy immediately.
  • Or fly into the horde and detonate an EMP. This will cause the program to think you have already recognized the criminal visually and have moved to engage. As a result, if you are not afraid of provoking station security or their faction try an EMP at each horde along the route of the criminal.
  • Also when you look on your radar, if you can see yellow dots moving faster constantly than others, there is a good chance that they are one.
  • You can access the Most Wanted menu in flight by tapping/clicking the pause button, going to missions and to "Most Wanted". The most wanted board will be the same faction as the system you are in.
  • Wingman would help especially when fighting most wanted criminals with higher firepower; order the wingmen to 'attack my target' as this will then mean that when you scan the Most Wanted Criminal's ship your wingmen will only attack that ship. After that you want to try not to scan another ship because then your wingmen will change priorities and attack the newly scanned ship instead.
  • If you are having trouble finding a Most Wanted criminal, an easy way to ensure that you encounter them is to work backwards along their route. If they were traveling from Io Ombak (Aquila System) to Binon (Pan System) then you would want to start at Binon, then travel to Decimus, as this is where the Pan System's jumpgate is. You will then need to travel to the next system along the route, but make sure that you travel to the station which has a jumpgate as this will be the planet that the Most Wanted Criminal will travel through. Repeat this process until you encounter the criminal.
  • Also try going in the middle of their route, as this is where a Most Wanted will most likely be.
  • Bring a tractor beam when fighting most wanted criminals and keep your hold empty, as they often drop rare loot as well as blueprint items, including Mass Driver MD10, SunFire o50, Rhoda Blackhole, Patala, AMR Extinctor and many more.
  • If you have 2-3 wingmen, tell them to use their emp blasters in the command menu and tell them to "attack my target." 3 wingmen firing emp at a target is one of the fastest ways to disable a single ship without damaging nearby ships such as station security.(at this point in the game 2 or more emp missiles are needed to disable a ship) When their ship is disabled, it should be very easy to take them down, but beware of their escorts.
  • A cloak can be a real life saver; use it when you're low on health or when there are a ton of hostiles around.
  • If you encounter a faction's ships that is in a non-opposing faction's station and you know you didn't hire any wingmen, then there is a Most Wanted.
  • The most wanted criminal and their escorts have significantly more health than your average ship. Each is several times tougher than a freighter.
    • If a pirate ship took you a lot more hits to take down, it's an escort.
    • If there is a horde of Pirates and security forces attacking one of the same ship only, there is a chance that there is a Most Wanted.
    • After encountering a most wanted criminal, their escorts continue to spawn from the space station until you enter it.
    • Attacking escorts/criminals will force you to pay a fine when docking at the nearest station and cause your reputation to shift, depending on the main faction they are allied to. However, the local security team will not be provoked.
  • You can spam EMP weapons to paralyze the criminal and their escorts and whittle them down from there.
  • Avoid hitting security forces too much to prevent them from turning hostile, otherwise you will have to deal with more enemies while fighting the Most Wanted, especially if there are Pirates too.
  • If you want to kill the Most Wanted without alerting them and their escorts, then unequip your scanner, that way you can kill them without getting alerted by them, just make sure there are currently no Pirates in orbit and the Most Wanted's escort aren't Pirates.
  • Most Wanted are the only NPCs that use secondary weapons other than Trunt Harval.

​Quotes - Keith T. Maxwell

*"Another of the galaxy most wanted to take care of."

  • "He's on the wanted list. Time to cash in!"
  • "Time for some bounty hunting..."
  • "I'm collecting the bounty of this one."
  • "Get ready for a fight! I won't be leaving here without the bounty on your head!"

*"A job well done!"

  • "And that's that."
  • "Another successful bounty hunt."
  • "Ah! Nice little boost to my credit account."
  • "Good riddance to bad rubbish​."

    1. For this reason, Kothar, Kaamo, and Valkyrie (which is no longer accessible by the time this feature becomes active) do not have bounty boards.
