Despite the Sunbeam and its crew surviving, their attempt to rescue the player still fails, forcing the player to build the Neptune Escape Rocket. However, if the player manages to disable the Quarantine Enforcement Platform before the Sunbeam arrives, Quinn will inform them that they cannot attempt a landing due to large amounts of debris orbiting the planet (originating from the Aurora when it was attacked). Upon the destruction of the Sunbeam debris can be seen dropping from the sky, but wrecks of the Sunbeam cannot be found on the map, likely falling into the Crater Edge.

As the Sunbeam is quite a bit smaller than the Aurora, which was relatively intact albeit heavily damaged with a massive amount of debris left behind, the Sunbeam is completely obliterated, its crew members are killed, and its debris rains down afterwards.

However, before it can land, the Quarantine Enforcement Platform activates, weaponizing itself and shooting the Sunbeam down, as it did with the Aurora and the Degasi. The Sunbeam had planned to land on the Mountain Island to rescue the player.
