Space Showdowns are held with generated ships, and no assets are lost during the combat. You cannot die during a showdown, if your ship is destroyed you are launched into an escape pod. There is an option on the Character Sheet to teleport yourself out.
Ground Showdowns are held within generated cities with NPCs and items. No assets are lost during the combat as they are all part of what is generated. You cannot die during a showdown; you can only be stunned. If you are stunned during the showdown, it will be removed once you teleport out. You will not keep any items gained in a showdown.
Showdowns are held within a dedicated arena inaccessible from the regular galaxy. The arena typically has accelerated time set, making combat and travel actions happen at faster speeds.
Characters are teleported into and out of the showdown arena automatically by the showdown coordinator. If you are stuck within a showdown arena, there is an option on the Character Sheet to teleport you out.
