Title. Was sniffing around for something to hold my attention and this stood out to me on an aspec video.
If there is any time in Stellaris' life when an Origin about Covert Actions ought to be brought back off the cutting room floor, an "Espionage" update is probably it.
IDK what the original plan for this was, did some file diving myself and only turned up the name plus that little green Icon, too.
Also, does anyone know of a mod that managed to re-create the escaped slaves origin [top row, middle, below]? The idea being you would start with escaped slave species from a bunch of existing empires.
I remember the devs saying in a comment it was cut for time as they couldn't get it to work due to how galaxy initialisation processes Species generation instructions, or something like that. I have a few ideas on how I could get it to spawn (involving events and military drop pods), though no point in trying them if someone's already figured out a way.
Also, purged but unbroken icon is begging to be made into an "Evil Hive" origin. Give them a ruined home system and a discount on becoming the Nemesis or faster purge speeds - time to the conquer the galaxy 2 electric boogaloo.
"Wrested from the weak" - "The flesh is Weak" I guess that was an origin about being forcibly synth ascended? Maybe all pops start emotionless too with their "humanity" removed - a la most Necrons, Would make for an interesting spiritualist-only origin where you go on a grand crusade to regain your biological bodies or try to "reconnect with the shroud".
