General Appearance:

Biology:   

  • The Quasarian are incorporeal beings that have transcended the need for a mortal shell.   As evolved entities, the species has shed their ambitions of galactic domination in favor of observational curiosity.   Over the millennia, the Quasarian has tried to avoid interfering with the natural order of other race's evolution, as their intense radiance and luminosity portray a supernatural presence.  These interactions are often recorded in history as encounters with a Deity.  All that encounter the Quasarian are infused with a portion of their life force, and once inoculated, these individuals are instilled with a sense of greater purpose and vigor.  As their life-force strengthens, so does that of the Quasarian, creating a symbiotic relationship.  As a source of knowledge and energy, this bond has become an addiction for the inquisitive Quasarian, and many endeavored to spread the bond across the galaxy.   


Political Ideology: Pacifist


Gameplay:  

  • The Quasarian are a curios race, and prefer cultural and intellectual exchanges through peaceful encounters to exchanging salvos on the battlefield, but will do so if necessary.  Once an occupied planet is visited by the Quasarian, one population is immediately infused with the Quasarian energy and the inoculation will begin to spread across the system.  Each infused entity will produce x% / y% / z% more FIDS (for Cold War / Peace / Alliance, respectively) for the Entities Empire and the Quasarian empire.  Conversely, for hostile empires FIDS production from infused populations declines.  The rate of inoculation is based on the distance from the Quasarian borders but the rate can be increased by the presence of a Quasarian fleet at the system, or colonizing (Scrapping) a fleet at a friendly planet.


Faction Affinity:  

  • Infused Production: Gain / (lose) a portion of the FIDS produced by a friendly / (hostile) population of inhabited systems visited by the Quasarian
  • Collective Bargaining: Resources received from Diplomatic Demands are increased by the Faction Affinity Bonus.
