Looks like the bug with randomly appearing characters is back. This one is actually pretty benign, others included heads sticking from the ground or characters floating in space in ship battles. I once had Endurance (which I wasn't using) block my whole screen in a fleet battle. It's hard to imagine how something like this can happen accidentally, but it seems it can.

Old pic but I thought I'd share
For me it used to be that a 30 ft tall Biggs would be standing right behind his ship in outer space for the fleet battles.
