PK beacon 1

A wanted beacon sent out by Bialar Crais

A Peacekeeper wanted beacon was a combined data store and projection device used by the Peacekeepers to announce a person's wanted status and to offer a bounty.

They were left on planets, space stations, and spacecraft in areas where targets had been sighted, primarily in common areas.

Three types of wanted beacon were seen during the course of the show. The first was seen in 'Till the Blood Runs Clear' and had been deployed by Crais to announce the escape and reward for the captures of D'Argo, Rygel, and Zhaan. This beacon didn't mention either John Crichton or Aeryn Sun. Crichton's omission was due to Crais' desire to kill the human himself, while a secret message was included for Aeryn containing a private offer of "Amnesty" (in reality, an 'honorable' death sentence).

The second wanted beacon was seen in 'Crackers Don't Matter'; this one was issued by Scorpius and unlike the previous one Crichton's capture was the main priority. It is unknown if any other members of Moya's crew were listed.

The third wanted beacon was seen occasionally throughout the fourth season and had been left by Commandant Grayza, who had deployed them throughout the Uncharted Territories following the destruction of Scorpius' Command Carrier. All of the crew were listed, and as a results of their efforts in destroying the Command Carrier the reward for their captures had increased significantly; Crichton's was the highest at fifteen million currency pledges if taken alive, while Rygel had seven million on his head while Chiana was now worth five million.
