Who collects compensation, and how is it different from rewards?
The rulebook defines compensation and defender rewards, and the designer confirmed the Void case.

Only a player who revealed a Negotiate and lost to an Attack collects compensation: cards taken at random from the winner's hand, one per ship the compensated player lost to the warp. It is never paid for ships removed from the game (such as by Void) and not to the winner. Rewards are different: defensive allies draw cards or retrieve ships when the defense wins. If the offense reveals Negotiate and loses to an Attack with allies, the offense still collects compensation while the defensive allies get rewards.
