| Choice | Outcome |
|---|---|
| Claim the treasure.
Fortune favors the bold. The Snathi treasure has been secured, significantly boosting our treasury. |
|
| Leave the treasure untouched.
We have chosen to honor the Snathi legacy by not plundering their trove. May this decision bring us good karma. |
The Echo from the Void
Our deep space orbital telescopes have intercepted a faint signal emanating from the void. The message, though fragmented, seems to be a plea or inquiry: 'is anyone there?'. The only clue we can get from it is that it matches a radio signature of a species once called 'The Slyne'.
| Choice | Outcome |
|---|---|
| Attempt to respond to the signal.
Our message has been sent. Now we wait to see if our call into the darkness is met with friend, foe, or silence. |
|
| Ignore the signal.
The depths of space remain undisturbed by our hand. The signal fades into the cosmic background, unanswered. |
Gift of the Mithrilar
Your flagship's scans of the Artifact anomaly have uncovered something. A map to a nearby dead star that would normally be invisible to our sensors. A structure, hidden within the carcass of the dead star, whispers of the ancient Mithrilar—a civilization whose shadows outlive the stars themselves. Buried in the celestial mausoleum is a device of their making: a conundrum of metal and mystery that hums with forgotten knowledge. Its cryptic mechanisms promise a leap in cognitive prowess, to awaken genius in the minds of our citizens that could transcend the limitations of biology and time.However, the lead archeologist on the crew warns that this technology was almost certainly not meant for our species at our current stage of development and counsels you to not use it.
| Choice | Outcome |
|---|---|
| Activate the artifact and store it in our vault for later use.
The device stirs, its intricate machinery spinning a symphony of cerebral transformation. Across the chosen world, minds awaken to new dimensions of thought. It is poised to be directed towards uplifting one of our core worlds. |
|
| Cast the device into oblivion, this device is too dangerous.
As the device disintegrates, a cascade of light is all that marks its passing. The decision weighs heavy, a testament to caution over the hunger for ascendancy. In the silent aftermath, one can only hope the whispers of the Mithrilar will not haunt the future that might have been. |
Atmospheric Reclamation Protocol
Adrift amidst cosmic dust, our flagship's scanners lock onto a relic of environmental engineering: a canister of nanomachines, dormant yet thrumming with potential. They promise to scour worlds clean of pollutive scars. Yet, the core of this marvel—a Harmony Crystal—pulses with a rare energy, coveted by many.
| Choice | Outcome |
|---|---|
| Store the Nanomachines in our vault.
The Nanomachine relic will be stored in our Artifact vault. When ready, you can command the nanomachines to begin their silent waltz in the skies of a target polluted world, turning the grey pallor of pollution into the clear breath of progress. |

Turning away from the shadowy deal will please our citizens and safeguard our tech, though it may provoke the syndicate's ire. |
|
Nebula Mining Proposition
You know of the nebula at the border of your territory, yes? It holds riches that only our technology can extract. Grant us the mining rights, and we will remember your aid in the future. Refuse, and you insult us.
| Choice | Outcome |
|---|---|
| Allow them to mine the nebula.
We accept the proposition, with the understanding they will almost certainly get a lot of wealth for awhile from this that we will not. |
|
| I don't think so.
We cannot allow them unfettered access to the nebula. The wealth would likely be used to eventually target us. |
|
Relic Recovery Request
We have detected the signature of a Precursor relic within the boundaries of your territory. Our interest is purely academic, and we seek your permission to recover it. While we cannot share its secrets, the benefits to our people would be considerable.
| Choice | Outcome |
|---|---|
| Grant permission for the relic recovery.
We will allow your recovery mission. While the secrets of the relic remain yours, we hope this act of good faith serves to strengthen our relations. |
|
| I'm sorry but that would be against our strategic interests.
We cannot permit an operation that does not include full disclosure of its findings. Our sovereignty must be respected. |
|
Proposition for Swift Passage
We frequently traverse your space during our explorations. In fact, as you know, everyone does. But we would like to offer you a token of goodwill. We have technology that can increase the speed of your vessels, easing any burden our presence may cause.

| Choice | Outcome |
|---|---|
| Temporarily reduce further colonization efforts to focus on enhancing the existing colonies, fostering faster growth and integration.
A moratorium might stabilize your core territories at the expense of losing the initiative in space expansion to rival factions. Our Shipyard production will be dramatically reduced for a year. |
|
| Reallocating resources from homeworld to established core worlds.
This approach will cost a lot of money on our home world for a year but greatly increase production on core worlds for a year. |
|
| Implement social policies to protect the vulnerable populations.
This policy will cost money for a time but will improve morale for the next year. |
|
Interstellar Political Strain
The rapid expansion of our civilization has led to significant political challenges on the homeworld.There is a growing concern that we have colonized too fast without the necesssary infrastructure to support all these colonies.Meanwhile, our citizens on our core worlds are feeling they are being treated as second class citizens.
| Choice | Outcome |
|---|---|
| Seek a diplomatic approach to integrate the new worlds, promoting understanding and cooperation.
This approach may increase overall happiness and trade, but could also lead to slower decision-making, increasing the amount of resources lost in transit. |
|
| Too bad for the colonists. Impose strict control from the homeworld to ensure uniform governance across our colonies.
This might lead to greater efficiency and security, but could also increase unrest in the newly integrated worlds. A rebellion movement is likely to start. |
|
| Adopt a decentralized governance model, giving new worlds more autonomy.
While this could lead to increased innovation and local satisfaction, it might also result in weakened central authority. |
|
Emerging Rebellion
Intelligence reports indicate a growing rebel movement on {PLANETNAME}. There are riots in the streets and massive destruction of property.
| Choice | Outcome |
|---|---|
| Do our best to restore law and order.
Our security forces will do their best to restore order. But expect high crime for the next several months on {PLANETNAME}. |
|
| Use your central control authority to put down the rebellion.
Using our reserves of control on {PLANETNAME} we quickly reestablish order. |
|
Rebellion
A wave of rebellion has swept across our civilization. Suppressed voices have now risen in unison, challenging our authority and demanding change. This widespread unrest is the result of our earlier policies and actions. We must decide how to address this crisis.
| Choice | Outcome |
|---|---|
| Implement Reforms
Enacting systemic reforms could pacify the rebellion, showing our willingness to address their concerns. However, it will take several months to calm people down. |
|
| Use your resources of Control to suppress the Rebellion
Choosing to suppress the rebellion with force is a decisive action that might quickly quell the unrest. However, this approach could further alienate our citizens and exacerbate tensions, leading to long-term instability and loss of control over our factions. |
|
Coup Attempt
Your relentless rule has pushed several of your closest generals to the brink. They have attempted a coup, seeking to overthrow your leadership and install a new regime. Fortunately, your security was able to thwart the attempt but not before several rebel ships have begun controlling areas of our space.
| Choice | Outcome |
|---|---|
| Crush the Rebellion
Deciding to crush the rebellion sends a clear message: you will not tolerate any challenge to your authority. While this may quell the immediate threat, it could instill fear and resentment among your people, potentially leading to more secretive and dangerous forms of resistance. |
