Starcrossed Synthetics

Scientists on thought they understood artificial intelligence. Apparently not. Recently, two sentient, synthetic AIs have experienced a previously unheard of emotion for their kind: Love. Who knows what other discoveries await within the field of Synthetic Psychology?

Effect: Synthetic Psychological Breakthrough +% science on for Turns.

The Wonders of Wormholes

As traveled through the wormhole, the wormhole intersected with a star. the gravitational pull of the star created a slight tear in the space-time continuum: Through the momentary merging of two universes, two identical fleets appeared on the far side of the wormhole.

Effect: A Fortunate Accident Player receives a duplicate copy of the fleet that passed through the wormhole, including any leaders attached to the fleet.

The Monstrous Galaxy

Terror gripped the captain. Looking out the view port, she saw what she had only heard of in legends: The Leviathan, the great destroyer of Worlds. "Abandon Ship!" she ordered, though she doubted any would escape alive.

Effect: Heroic Escape is destroyed. Decrease cost of next hero by %.

As suggested by a previous poster, I left certain numerical values blank for testing purposes.

"Due to a malfunctioning Virtual Endless device dust across the galaxy has been infected with computing virus that causes it to arrange into fractal-like patterns and harden, resulting in extensive property damage and the need to commit scientists to discovering a solution to the problem. The designs however, are found to be very durable, and are studied by industries across the empire in order to reverse engineer the new-found toughness of the material" [-20%dustincomefor20turns] [-20%scienceincomefor20turns][+10%industryincomefor20turns]

After much discussion it has been decided that they will be integrated into our military and are willing to share technologies that were discovered in their timeline that our scientists overlooked."

Hi... This is my first post here... Im a really noob to this... But i Will try...

A People from nowhere...

When we begane to send ships out into space we found starsystems, endless ruins and People of Many cultures, but this is Strange... Some Time ago we Saw on our radars that an objekt Was traveling Towards our starsystem, but we only thought that it Was an meteorit. Now we see that its not an meteorit, but an spaceship traveling Towards X X( A planet in your Capitol system ). The spaceship is primitiv and by the speed it is going it May have been traveling for centuries. We dont know were it is from and it has to be far away from this Galaxy.

The Erineas

A minor factions apears Called the Erineas ( IDK how They look like. You can chose for me Please )on a random planet in your Capitol system

The Erineas are an spacefaring nation of fundamentalistic survivors of an dying planet. And... Well i want you to make what you Think They Would be ( maybe crazy space monkeys )... This Was stupid of me anyway

Reproductive frenzy

“The accidental activation of an endless artefact has led to an unprecedented increase in birth-rates due to a nigh overwhelming compulsion to produce offspring. This has led to an overall decrease in focus, as well as shock amongst affected population once the device deactivated.”

Losing Control:

+ 25 % food over 5 turns (Population growth instead?)

- 5 % production over 5 turns

- 5 % dust over 10 turns (Expenses caused by the meteoric population growth.)

- 5 % science over 5 turns

+ 30 approval for 5 turns

- 10 approval for 5 turns after food boost end

^ All of the effect above are on system.

Cognitive stimulants

“One of the largest pharmaceutical companies in your empire has tested a new cognitive stimulant, with overwhelmingly positive results. The drug was quickly adopted by large portions of (system name)'s population, however it was later found to be lethal over prolonged usage.”

Fortune favours some of the bold:

+ 15 % science on system for 5 turns (On system)

- 1 population after 5 turns (On system)

- 5 approval for 5 turns after population loss (On Empire)

- 5 % dust for 5 turns after population loss (On system)

+ One random technology discovered after 5 turns

Titanic storm

“When a team of scientists tampered with an endless terraforming device it resulted in a supercell of unprecedented proportions. Luckily the cell was contained over mostly uninhabited areas, and both research and industry has progressed due to the strange occurrence, however the destabilization of (Planet’s name)’s weather patterns is naturally unpopular with the general population.”

Meteorological disorder

+ 10 % science on planet for 10 turns

+ 5 % industry on planet for 10 turns

- 5 % food on planet for 10 turns

- 5 approval on planet for 10 turns
