Not a new origin, but I would like the Remnants origin to be reworked so it has more depth to it. Encountering pieces of your old empire across the galaxy beyond mere modifiers, pops of your own species scattered around the worlds of others, ancient megastructures with your fingerprints, wreckage of ancient ships all around. The origin would also slightly alter your neighbouring empires' perception of you and your species to show how you were once dominant. Some might resent your kind from legends of your terrible deeds, while others might revere your empire from their tales of glory (this could be at random, or depending on ethics, or you could decide your general pre-history via event like at the start of Imperial Fiefdom). An archeology story arc like the one from On The Shoulders of Giants or a narrative situation like in Knights of the Toxic God would make it perfect.
