"Use to abduct plants, animals or rares and add them to your cargo bay."
This starting tool allows you to transfer items on the planet into your Cargo Hold. It is given to you for free near the beginning of the Space stage. Take note that in order to abduct an object, you must hold down the mouse until the object appears in your Cargo Hold. Releasing the mouse anytime in between causes the object to simply fall down to the ground, or if it is a creature, it will die. Abducting another planet's civilized citizens or resources upsets the local empire.
