Stellaris: First Contact Story Pack

You are not alone! The galaxy is vast and full of wonders – and alien empires, whether or not you are prepared to meet them. First Contact introduces new Origins and special mechanics for the first arrival of visitors from outer space. Not all of them come in peace!

NEW ORIGINS

Broken Bonds. You did not set out for the stars on your own: you were taken as prisoners! But you rebelled and seized control of your ship. A disparate group of prisoners were forced to band together to survive and thrive. Will your humble beginnings lead to a greater story? And will you attract the attention of your former captors?

Payback. No one could have guessed that a higher intelligence was watching your planet – until the invasion began. But you refused to give up on life, successfully fought off the hapless invaders, and unexpectedly gained access to advanced technology. It’s time to find out what else the stars hold!

Fear of the Dark. You’ve always suspected that there are other species in the galaxy… Especially considering the recent incident with one of your planets. A good portion of your people believe that it’s not worth tempting fate and heading into the dark abyss of the unknown. But you need room to grow – what decision will you make?

NEW INTERACTIONS WITH PRIMITIVE CIVILIZATIONS

What role will you play in the history of the next interstellar civilization? Introducing new interactions with civilizations that have not yet discovered faster-than-light travel! The level of technology of such civilizations will be important, as well as whether they know about your presence. How will you be greeted: with jubilation, panic or aggression?

CAMOUFLAGE

Didn’t expect you?! Camouflage devices for ships will allow you to set up secret surveillance or take the enemy by surprise. And camouflaged observation posts will allow you to secretly monitor your neighbors who have not yet discovered superluminal travel. The main thing is that your own scanners and scouts do not let you down… After all, somewhere in the shadows there may be those who are already spying on you!
