Playing Stellaris as the imperium of man 

What do you wanna see next?

"I'll go pacifist this time." *Xeno glares at me* "Humanity cannot live in peace as long as the xenos pest lives."

It's called "human rights" for a reason

To be fair you acted entirely in self defense. At some point in the near future with in a potential time line one of these xenos might've accidentally bumped in to a human. Such potential hostility can't be tolerated.

“My patience isn’t unlimited, unlike my authority” Inquisitor Eisenhorn

You don't have to treat them humanely if they aren't human.

When using the worldcracker for the first time, you get the "Exterminatus" achievement.

It’s not “violating rights” or “unjust genocide” it’s pest control.

Xenophobe? You mean a homosapien loyalist?

A true RP playthrough of this requires mods to give you more ethic points, because vanilla isn't going to let you be Fanatic Xenophobe, Fanatic Militarist, Fanatic Spiritualist, Fanatic Authoritarian.

Normal playthrough: "Xenophobia is wrong" Imperium of man: "I'm not xenophobic because phobia implies there's something irrational about my hate"

As our favorite warlord likes to say, one death is a tragedy, a few million, is a good start.

From Warhammer 30K standpoint, this is 100% accurate.

I think it's so considerate of all those civlisations to sprout and rise to offer us a decent fight. Such kindness. Remember that as you trample them into the dust, scum that they are.

1:48 can't spell slaughter without laughter lmao

I'm Markus Wulfhart, and I approve this message

It is a shame you cannot deny their surrender, for the authentic Imperium experience.

It's like Great Crusade but fucking Horus isn't there to ruin everything

They're not "war crimes." They're works of art. Every screaming, suffering xeno child is another musical masterpiece.

Aliens be real chill till you hear a 11 ft tank of a man scream heresy so loud it's like he stepped on a minefield of lego

It's not Genocide, it's clearing up end game lag. It's also a little bit of Genocide.

"We'll serve 'em up a genocide they never will forget 'Cause if we miss a couple, they'll breed a couple more And soon we'll all be hating twice as many as before"

"no regard for civilian casualties" oh i absolutely regard them. I REGARD THEM, as a success.

40K Imperium: *Can't be Xenophobe if THEY'RE NOT HERE*

Nobody: Absolutely nobody: The Imperium: “You’re talking a lot of shit for a filthy zeno”

The last bit of "We...we only want peace." reminded me of the Diasporex incident in the 40k universe.

The Blood Ravens just took all of the aliens’ territories as a gift

I am just waiting for Stellaris to have proper rebellion and betrayal mechanics so you can truly roleplay the Imperium of Man timeline. Really run through the Original good guys stage where we made friends with all the xenos only for them to stab us in the back when our civilization fell on dark times. Then you rise up again and purge them for their betrayal. That would feel damn good.

I tried to play nice with Xenos but I guess I am just too much of a humanitarian.

Stellaris: you can play as multiple alien races. Warhammer fans: Laughing Intensifies*

I like to imagine this is just an Imperial crusade that wound up really, really far off course and popped out in a neighboring galaxy and immediately went: "Hmm. Time to cleanse." (Also would this make the Prethoryn Scourge the Tyranids, the Unbidden Chaos, and the Contingency the Men of Iron?)

God I dream of the 1 in a trillion chance they ever make a proper W40k stellaris dlc or spinoff. I know it'll never happen but a man can dream...

"Brothers and sisters... a legion of beggars and alien dregs wheezes its way across the plains. Forgive me when the moment comes that they whine and weep against our walls. Forgive me that I must order you to waste ammunition upon their worthless bodies." -Grimaldus of the Black Templars

The Inquisition:*APPROVES, ENDORSES, HELPS, DESIRES, WISHES,DREAMS, LOVES and AWARDS this work* You have gained the Inquisition's seal of purity,Ecclisiarch's seal of purity and The God Emperor is plaesed.

"We accept your surrender." "So you'll spare us, right?" "..." "So you'll spare us, right?"

Still cant forget to please the humanitarian forses by generousloy re-educating the native polulation and re-integrating them back to the the fking soil. Free of charge of course~

Let’s be xenophobic, it’s really in this year~

Finally someone is actually caring for human rights

"The galaxy is Mankind's birthright. The stars are ours for the taking." Well, the stars that remain after Exterminatus.

To quote TFS Frieza: "I can't quite be racist against a race that doesn't exist"

Xenos: Look at those humans, they are constantly at war with each other. Why? Humanity: We’re practicing Xenos: practicing?….Practicing for what? Humanity : (Looks to the stars and smiles)

“Let’s celebrate what unites us all… Xenophobia.” -Ahriman

Y’see, these aliens don’t realize we have the greatest weapon of all. Several trillion credits of discretionary spending.

Now that is what i call a clean slate. Well done son, the Emperor is proud of you. the Galaxy is pure.

Steps on how to have fun Step 1 buy Stellaris Step 2 enslave alien species Step 3 play Stellaris

Recently conquered several planets of an enemy empire, after the conflict ended I noticed that about 80% of its population was on these planets. These planets were unfortunately out of my reach, since I didn't really want to give them back to him I decided to wipe out the entire population of these planets. Later I gave him back the "cleaned" worlds for free so he could see what I had done.

Alien: We only want peace! Space Marine: And I will grant you peace, xeno, the Emperor’s peace! BLAM

Did this this week. Secured about 1/4 of the Galaxy as the Scourge (Tyranids) hit and I ramped up defenses and set chokepoints with dedicated energyweapon fleets. Just before they hit my Fortress-Systems, the awakend empire (Eldars) declare total war on me and stab me in the back as my normal Fleet is 10k and my best Fortress is around 50k. Their Invading Fleet was 330k. Filthy Xenos.

It is the right of every sentient being to live in freedom and equality. Fortunately, these xenos barely qualify as conscious, let alone sentient. We are doing them a favor by liberating them from their pathetic alien shells.

Well animal protection rights don't extend to space animals.

Xenos filth: WHAT DID WE EVER DO TO YOU?! Chad Commissar: You we’re born…

I feel like the neutron sweeper would have been a better choice for the imperium, it's kind of like virus bombs.

Now this, this is art. *"The Art of Conquering Stars For Mankind's Glory"*

Who knew ABBA could go so well with mass intergalactic genocide lmao.

For roleplay purposes, imagine every one of those planets was a lost human colony, inhabited mostly by humans. And now you understand _why_ the Imperium was so aggressive.

“Stellaris isn’t an RTS.” Xenos lovers “That coffee you’ve been drinking is actually the dust of your home world. You’re welcome.” IoM supporter.

*Player playing a pacifist empire* *Xenos insulted player* Player: "The universe has rejected us... Enact policy... Purge them..."

Although Imperium HAS some world braking weapons they don't actually use them very often. Exterminatus yes, but even Imperium with its million worlds is aware that life sustaining planets are rare and after a millennium you can try to terraform a exsterminatus planet (sometimes even faster) but if you destroy a planet ( Like Cadia was ) you cant re-populate. Empire is xsenophobic because its expansionist nature it comes into conflict with any other "player" who wants to take space that belongs to Human race by the will of the Emperor. Imperium Does not "seak" to eradicate all life except Human life that Necrons. Neither is eradication of sapient Xenos a thing on Empire foremost agenda. Tau were not a problem until they became a expansionist micro Empire and started to creak close to the space controlled by Humanity and even then Humanity managed to sing a "peace" deal. As long as the xseos are under regulation and are no threat to humanity they are all right. As long as they are loyal to the Imperium it is all right. AND of they have to be able to fight in melee ... very important ... Emperior cant be associated with any race that cant fight in Melee ...

"we will start an orbital bombardment followed by an assault charge" "excellent, but.. when exactly will you cease bombardment to avoid friendly fire?" "uhm.. cease .. the bombardment, sir?"

I'm playing a game with pretty much every fictional spacefaring race I could think of thrown in, and the Imperium is currently waging a campaign of genocide against the Salarians after having made an alliance with the Sith Empire. Meanwhile the Salarians found an unlikely friend and savior in the Tau and they have been fighting an on and off war of attrition for almost 50 years now. The worshippers of Tzeench were causing trouble and bullying smaller races until they met the Krogan who wiped them out in a prolonged war that left the Krogans victorious but a shell of their former might, The Worshippers of Slaanesh have allied with one of the most powerful races in the galaxy. The Jawas. (I'm serious I have no idea how their army got so large) The warriors of Khorne founded one of the first galactic federations and immediately proceeded to wage a war of faith against the Covenant. And Nurgle's blessed children are just vibing, having made an alliance with the Confederacy of Vulcan and occasionally fending off attacks by the Sisters of Battle poking at their northern territories.

I swear these xenos actually think we're equals

I now watch this every morning instead of coffee. The lust for conquest fills me much more than caffeine ever could.

I appriciate the hours of gameplay for this 2 min video dearly.

Stellaris probably the only game in existence where evil playthrough is fun.

Now it's time to sing the song, cmon kids, all together now: GENOCIDE, MINING GENOCIDE, MINING GENOCIDE, MINING GENOCIDE, MINING

To quote some salt shaking xeno-phobes: “This isn’t war, this is pest control”

Aliens: So nice to live in peace in such a big Galactic community I hope the next species to ascend will be great people. Imperium: We are not only great.... We are the best!!! Aliens: Oh.... dear god.

"We only want peace!" "You should have thought of that before evolving into a sapient species!" [EXTERMINATUS]

"We... we only want peace!" "Peace was an option you never had."

i tried to help the poor xeno children but then i realised the best was to help them is to make them human. so i re-integrated them with the soil and colonized the planet turned the world into a farm. with their bodies now part of a human I'm sure they're experiencing extreme joy

I sometimes like to cheat and give myself more energy credits under the justification that I unlocked Fiat Currency.

I only did a DNA test to find out my ethnic blood. 100% European in terms of racial category so 100% Caucasian. English/Irish/Scottish 63.5% Irish regions my blood is closest to:County Cork,County Dublin,County Kerry,County Mayo,County Galway,County Waterford,County Donegal,County Clare,County Limerick,County Sligo,Belfast. English regions my bloodline is closest to:Greater London,Greater Manchester,Merseyside,West Yorkshire,West Midlands,Tyne and Wear,Lancashire,South Yorkshire. Scottish regions my bloodline is closest to:Glasgow. French and German 20.4% German regions my bloodline is closest to:Hessen,Rhineland Palatinate,Canton of Bern. French regions my bloodline is closest to:Pays de la Loire. Finnish 0.9% Broadly North Western European 3.9% from Sweden and Norway Greek and Balkan 10.3% Parental Haplogroup group E-V13 that is DNA that originates in The Middle East and Western Asia but people of that group migrated into Europe 4500 years ago yet the ancestor of that group of people E1b1b1a originates in The Middle East and is around 22500 years old. Maternal haplogroup J1b1a which is DNA that is between 4600 and 12000 years old that originates in Anatolia 60% more Neanderthal DNA than the average person. Looks like I will be safe in the Empire. I sincerely hope the Empire does this type of DNA test in order to eradicate human-alien crossbreeds.

By the emperor this brought a tear to my eye

You call it genocide, I call it aggressive negotiations!

Glorious. I can't believe aliens have the damn cheek to exist on our planets before we get there.

Me plays the imperium route in all games My family is concerned about my sanity

Proper imperial procedures to follow while establishing first contact: 1) Properly Spit Upon the Xeno. 2) Defile the Xeno with Your Left Foot 3) Take a Bolter to obliterate the Xeno. 4) Fetter the Xeno. 5) Take a Knife to Stab the Xeno. 6) Put Fire Upon the Xeno. 8) Scream "the Emperor Protects" on the Xeno's charred corpse!

Playing Stellaris as the Imperium of Man? Nah mate you just playing the game normally.

NTA If they had wanted to live, they should not have made the unforgivable mistake of being born a xeno

Geneva Convention? More like Geneva Suggestion, it's not a war crime if you win ;)

A world cracker being called Azulas laigther is litterally perfect

This video made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. That may just be my reactor burning out my central nervous system, all things considered. But thank you anyway.

First you clean up your room Next you clean up the galaxy

Its nice to see the good guys still winning.

“I can finally rest, and look down on a grateful universe.” - you probably after getting some liebensraum for humans.

'I'm inhumane? There's nothing human about them!"

„It‘s not xenophobe if the Xeno doesn‘t exist.“ - Inquisitor Kryptman, propably

Lieutenant, do you see that xeno fleet over there? Yes, sir, what about it? I don't want to see it anymore Aye aye, captain

"You need to be a human to have human rights" "Where does it say that" "In the name, "human rights"

Purge the foul, contemptable, misbegoten xenos!

the most part of games: I create a little farm/city/construct and this is beautiful! see this little childry playing if her dog. Stellaris players: I go make a Galaxy Genocide... and this is very Funny

This video single-handedly convinced me to pick up stellaris

1:41 I read this as “Azula’s Laughter” and thought it was appropriate for a planet-killing superweapon to be named after Azula from Avatar: The Last Airbender.

The emperor most defiantly approves.

Inquisition, hmm thats alotta xenos,..... lets see what the boys In R&D are cooking. R&D, "haaahaaa planet go boom" Inquisition "deceptively simple yet elegant, retrofit them on every ship in the fleet"

Xenophobic? Don't make me laugh. I'm not averse to x*nos, I specifically go out my way to find them.

Half here for the video, half here for the music. Both great Any specific plans for WH? A sneak peek? (though we will probably enjoy without spoiler :))

I think the Game Devs want us to always play like this just to avoid the lag from the species menu in the game. Emperor help you if you turn on the cross breeding options. I got a decent rig and the game just chugs along at glorious 2 frames per second in the late game.

'If we miss a couple, then they'll breed a couple more, and then we'll all be hating twice as many as before'

Suffer not the xenos, suffer not the heretic. PURGE THEM IN FLAMES!
