The Feather of the Worm
Today I'm reading from the Feather of the Worm.
In the year we revived signal from black hole and our scientists deciphered it.
A number of scientists vanished in pursuit of the worm.
In the year 74 we hatched a dragon age.
By the year 78 all major active powers of the galaxy were at war.
Only one power in the galaxy was hostile to us and our fleet served its main purpose as a deterrence.
The worm remained elusive and in the year 49 a copy of one of our admirals committed suicide and left his, rather pathetic, ship behind.
By the year 83 all habitable planets inside our territory except the holy worlds of the Zydran Protectors had been colonized.
In the year 84 the Lok Archivist requested one of our scientists.
His sacrifice is still remembered as the alternative might have been war.
Sadly the other empires of the galaxy refused to follow our example of peaceful coexistence
.
In the year 86 we lost our oldest non-aggression pact.
The assembly voted for further expansion of our deterrence fleet.
In the year 87 the main enemies of the Moij-Huxgan formed a Federation.
By the year 90 we were getting closer to the worm.
In the year 95 the Blorg demanded part of our population.
Sacrificing one scientist was one thing but giving xenos part of our population was out of the question.
We refused.
Something strange happened to the minds of some of our people.
We had started building sentient machines and for some reason they thought those machine people made in our image were aliens.
These deluded morons still hold seats in the assembly.
Another Federation was founded in the year 102.
In the year 112(2312) part of your fleet was deployed near the Moij-Huxgan Nation border to demonstrate that our fleet was ready and that declaring war against us was the worst possible decision they could make.

Please don't tell anyone.250K fleet in 2312?!You are savage!
Playing okish and mentioning it is frowned upon around here..
Jokes aside I would have conquered 2-4 FEs and use a 500k fleet if my goal was something else than peaceful blobbing.
Hey, I just catched up with the story of the Keeper
I am curious, what happened to your border with Pelismus Star Empire? In the year 40 it was still a single solid line, while in the year 64 it started to fragment into small pieces. Was there anything unusual happening? Did you expand aggressively against them?
Also, as of Today (year 112) where do you stand in terms of technology against your neighbors? Any noteworthy discoveries coming up?

This is making me want to do another stab at an Inward Perfection run myself ... but those plans will have to be put on hold for a bit.
Well it will be 2.0 when I do it ... I want to do some stuff in other PDS games first.

I colonized everything available, snatched planets with outposts and increased border pressure with interstellar dominion and the supremacy opener.
Abusing the current border system as much as possible before 2.0 I guess.
I actually finished Mega:-Engineering in 111 and started restoring the ringworld in the Mihil system.
I tend to ignore a lot of techs(I mostly use Lance/2LPlasma/2KA battleships in my games) and I got jumpdrive(I will miss it) battleships with L5 shields and L6 armor about a 100 years in.
Nice, nice... Getting a ringworld is definitively a noteworthy event! I guess it will be your priority to get all the sections going as fast as possible, right?
I actually... never... researched L6 armor in any of my games (not that I played many) ...

I abandoned the game around 2420 a short time after the Scourge showed up.
I fought 0 wars and even became a signatory to avoid war against the Blorg AE(my fleet was 5x as strong as the AE fleet ).
There were a number of bugged transport ships permanently visible on the galaxy map and it was too annoying once I had to look at it all the time.
Its luck based anyway and not much better than L5 armor. You will hit 90% armour a bit easier but that's it.
Maybe 2.0 will make it better.

What? Does it mean, this is the end of this AAR?
I got a lot of screenshots and could post a bit more.
Most of what happened was not very exciting however as I did not deviate from my original no war approach.
I don't plan to "finish" the game(kill the crisis) though which was my original plan.
I hope that 2.0 fixes the troop transport bug.
How do you feel regarding the crisis though?
Do you think it will be a breeze killing it?
Or it is going to be a problem?
Less difficulty than I expected but still a challenge(I felt the lack of FE homeworlds and one-planet vassals).
When I abandoned the game I had destroyed about 1000 crisis ships and lost no worlds.
The Scourge had taken about ~20 worlds from AI empires though.
I third this... (if that's a thing)
A nice closure would be... nice...
For the sake of the story you could for example assume that the Scrouge has been defeated even if you don't want to play through it anymore.
The Last Keeper
I am the Last Keeper of Feathers.
I carry no name.
I am wilting.
No seedlings listen to my tales.
No seed was given to me.
My people have changed.
We celebrated the year 200 in the name of eternal peace.
Diplomats from our overlord the Blorg Arbitrators celebrated with us.
They had just lost another war to the Blessed Quvarian Order and they needed something to celebrate.
Since more than a 100 years our power was unmatched and no foreign power had ever challenged our peaceful ways.
The only sentients our fleet had ever fought were our own pirates at the dawn of our interstellar age.
In the year 213 strange subspace anomalies heralded the end of our way of life.
Our request for peaceful coexistence was answered with an incomprehensible response.
Those strange beings arrived with vast fleets.
In the following years one fleet after another penetrated our territory.
Suicide missions kept most of their fleets occupied as our main forces protected our worlds.
Our forces took significant losses which were replaced as fast as possible.
One xeno world after another was conquered by the invaders.
Genetically modified warriors battle xeno monsters on a regular basis as our fleet jumps from system to system destroying one fleet after another.
My people have changed.
There is talk about ending our association with the Blorg by force.
There is talk about allying with the other powers of the galaxy against the new threat.
Our people live on but the last Feather has been cut.
To record one tale battle after another is too disgusting.
I won't shame my predecessors and our most noble an ancient order by doing it.
I will burn this Feather together with all the others and I will burn with them.
