So after immense google-fu failures, I'm here to ask whether the preset empires have any special events? I've found indications that the Commonwealth of Man seems to have some relating to old-earth colony ships, and some mention that the United Nations of Earth may have some as well(Though other sources say no)

What about the non-human presets? Do any of those have special event chains? This could effect whether I choose to play as a preset(As I haven't yet, always preferring customs) but am already planning a CoM game to see those events.

Would adore an answer even if it's just yes/no, but details on the kind of events I could expect would be fantastic.

I wouldn't know of ANY special events for preset empires.

That said, I never play any preset empires, because why would I, if I can make my own unique loveable Xeno-hating Purifiers.

The whole special mechanics of UNS and CoM are solved via some flags in the empire definition:
Code:
flags = { human_1 custom_start_screen }
Code:
flags = { human_2 custom_start_screen }
None of the other prescripted empries have any such flags, so I asume they have no special quests.


There are at least the following startchains, wich might be locked based on Ethos:
Habitable Worlds (leads to Species Procurement).
Extinction Events
STL-Probes

You are right about the CoM, they have a quest where you have to find the Hyacinth, another Arkship of Earth. I dont know any quests about UNE, the others definetly have none.

That's what I had origionally thought when I got Stellaris, that there would be questlines for the preset empires, but nope, there aren't any. Aside from some minor stuff related to the UNE and COM.
