Hm... apparently no one of my leaders wants to be elected anymore. Just the dude from the enclave I bought (and leader of the smallest faction) wants to rule (in the meantime in 2332 for the 2nd time no other candidate entered the race). Why do we even have to run a campaign? And why does the dear Doc have such useless abilities?

But in 2343 there is now a second candidate... and guess what. Also from the enclave. And so the race is between Doctor Xib and Doctor Xib. I predict Doctor Xib will be victorious.

What happens when you combine the love of the Worm with The End of the Cycle?
First, you get close to your long lost colony
its a sign.jpg

Then they consider you to be genocidal

And start a civil war among ourselves

The coolest part though, is the brand new megastructure: The Dyson Hole!

The great Lahtrepian Soverignty dominated the Sowth Western rim of the Galaxy for a century, but in the last 50 years, they have been torn between the two major Precursors. In the nearly endless wars between the Non-aligned league and the precursors, a rebellion siezed the Habitat of Firren: the Soverignty of Firren was born
bcWGiBL.png

The complete domains of the Soverignty of Firren.
An orbital Habitat became independent.

Even better, they immediately joined the non-aligned league, ensuring their independence.

But why is this weird?

FYT5EpO.png

The habitat produces nothing...
TkC0Vk0.png

Despite clearly having the resources and manpower to do so.:confused:

Interestingly, It has no fleet, and is located in the capital system of the Lahtrepians, their ex-masters.

I find Independent Orbital habitats intensely amusing.
Especially given they keep telling me that their entirely non-existent Military (totaling 12 defense armies) could wipe out my 200k fleet.
(In order to show the full insanity of this nation, it was neccesary to swap to them, As I haven't explored this area yet, being on the other side of the galaxy, with borders closed everywhere)

It's a shame habitats can't build shipyards. A habitat-only empire would be interesting.

And they're not building anything because they have no minerals. Gift them some and they'll probably start building stuff.

maybe it is because they had nothing when they seceded, and afterwards they don
t have any mineral reserves to begin with and no minerals income from stations? So they can't build anything?

Somebody else had that happen and uploaded a shot of it. One time I had the Dathnak say they wanted to establish a new home on Uranus. Due to coding errors, the game incorrectly called Uranus Earth.
so.... the Dathnak wanted to establish a new home on Uranus.... hmmm...... Uranus.... Ur anus............. the Dathnak are PIMPS! I mean..........shush

I believe the hunters the Prethoryn are refering to are the Sentinels, the faction that sometimes spawns if the Prethoryn aren't defeated by a certain point.

Nah, the Sentinels are an alliance of species from our galaxy that are resisting the Swarm invasion. The Hunters are extragalactic.
