The Most Dangerous Fallen Empire - Stellaris Lore 

Newbie rolls "building starbase next to Xenophobe fallen empire" asked to leave life

“These are monumental planetary defence complexes, containing numerous planetary defence forces ready to defend the planet.” This made me laugh :)

I think the Holy Guardians and Keepers of knowledge are the most dangerous fallen empires because they are the most likely to start a war in heaven when one of them awakens.

When they wiped them out, they didn't prove them to be wrong, they just showed that they were afraid of what they MIGHT say...and do.

Holy Guardians are the most dangerous fallen empire,You can't change my mind(especially if you are a fantic materialist and then go for Cosmogenesis crisis ascension.)

Ironically, I've always thought the xenophobes are one of the weakest, least dangerous fallen empires. Pre-awakening they will never act aggressively unless directly provoked. Further, they do not interact with the galaxy at all. All of the other fallen empires have conditions where they will declare war unilaterally, and/or can direct other lesser races to start a war on their behalf. The xenophobes never do. They're also by far the easiest FE to defeat because their ship designs are so easily hard countered.

Your the type of guy who could create a stellaris fan base Purley around the lore like the big uptake in the last 10 years of Purley lore loving 40k fans. Keep going for as long as you can!

There's actually an additional result from the Shallash dig site. If your a gestalt machine empire, you get the outcome where the Shallarians developed a powerful AI fleet to enforce total peace, and it turned on them. You also have a 20% chance to get this option as a normal empire or if you destroy the Xenophobes before finishing the dig site. Perhaps this AI that they developed to enforce total peace was Cetana, and their homeworld was where Cetana was originally based. And the Xenophobes destroyed Shallash, not because they hated the Pacifists (or not only), but because they created the crisis that was Cetana.

Honestly red king never stop this. I had around 500 hours of playtime in stellaris and I genuinely didn’t know shit about the lore but then I found your videos and realized not just that stellaris HAD genuine lore but also just how incredibly well made it is! Keep up gods work!!!

Ive played and consumed Stellaris content for years now, and i still cant find a channel that draws me in to stellaris lore like yours does. Keep up the great work man.

I seem to recall Cetana saying the ones who imprisoned her used nanites, something she eventually took control over. I figured the ones who did it were the Gate Builders (L-Cluster). I get the feeling that multiple fallen empires were involved with the war against her, and it was the fanatic spiritualists who spearheaded the assault with help from the Animator of Clay. Maybe she goes after the Militant Isolationists because they are the biggest threat? Or maybe they know something of her that she didn't want to get out.

Funnily enough, I remember in my first playthrough without any friends playing with me, I hot spawned next to the xenophobes, and for some reason, they never tried to dislodge me from the systems next to them. They did send their demands to abandon these systems, but I never accepted, and they never did anything about it, even when I was way weaker than them

I would say that the machine intelligence fallen empire is the most dangerous in a very specific circumstance: If the contingency show up, and you roll corrupted programming. A rampaging xenocidal fallen/awakened empire is bad enough, but having to deal with it while also dealing with the contingency at the same time forces you to split your resources at a time you really don't want to be stretched thin.

Never stop your content! You really bring the lore of Stellaris to life with your storytelling!

Always feels so cathartic to wipe them out while insulting them the whole time

It would be fun to see you make videos like this on all the fallen empires. Also, can you do a video on the Sleeper from the Fallen Hivemind mod? It's basically an organic hivemind as a fallen empire.

I'm kinda surprised no fallen empire ever established contact with the rest of their civ that went through a black hole to create their own universe. You would've thought if a connection would be made that the old guard would send a cry for help and if those that went through would try to use a new space needle to get back to help their brother en or at least try to evac them through the black hole to safety.

Some BS fallen empire used their pacifier colossus on the prethoryn scourge home planet and softlocked my game from the ending 😢

How to prove everything the fanatic xenophobes said about my empire was right. Step 1: Conquer their empire as a fanatic xenophile Step 2: Give them and their former slaves equal citizen rights Step 3: Either form a covenant with the instrument of desire or the composer of strands Step 4: Allow a species of repugnant/noxious/rapid breeder immigrants onto all of their worlds Step 5: Take the xeno-compatibility ascension perk Step 6: OwO

As a crisis empire, I sealed them inside their worlds behind Pacifier Collosus shields, then activated the engine and ascended Humanity to Godhood. As a final gift I gave their worlds a permanent buffer zone. A galaxy, full of cold, dead, space.

Back and going through a lot. Your videos and stellaris in general really help me get away from it all, I love the depth you go into with the lore. Can get lost in it.

On my second ever stellaris game that was before the overlord update, a FE awakened and since I was too a xenophobic empire I thought it'll be alright, that was until I started getting 3 messages a year saying 3 worlds were cracked ...

Finally, many many videos to watch while eating, while also learning stuff about stellaris before I play the game....

Great content! Keep it coming! 😀

I love Stellaris because, anime it doesn't fully embrace the idea, it's one of the few space games that plays with The Dark Forest theory, that expanding into space almost guarantees we slip up and draw the attention of something that can and will erase almost all evidence of our existence, be it through simple extermination, or by literally removing is from existence

Does the Scion Origin have any unique Reactions to Cosmogenesis or the Cetana Crisis? Out of every origin, the Scions have the most reason to go Cosmogenesis, they are tired of waiting and want to catch up to their masters. Imagine their reaction when a Machine Goddess appears from a rival Elder Empire and consumes their progenitors in an instant…

My first game of Stellaris ever, I claimed a system next to the Xenophobic Fallen Empire. The expected happened. But, in the resulting truce, my ships were able to go into their space and open up those shielded worlds. I got a fleet of Fallen Empire ships out of it, the power of which allowed me to run roughshod over the galaxy unopposed for fifty years.

Perfect timing thank you!

I love how you explain the lore through a in universe perspective. It’s awesome I can’t find another alike 🎉

For the algorithm! Thanks for consistently saving my sundays

Shouldn't a star system that has not "Sol" as its star be called a "Star System" or "Stellar System" instead of "Solar System"? I'm pretty sure there can be only one Solar System in the universe.

planet killer when i mad enemy planet use all the time.

New series of videos? Really enjoy these lore videos 👌 I’d love them to add more fallen empires and expand in them - it be cool if they brought the Sharlarians back (pacifist fallen empire?)

Usually taking Tuborek is a pragmatic no-brainer. However, I can easily see an Egalitarian empire resealing him because they don’t want to reward an ancient war criminal. Leaving a less scrupulous empire to take him instead..

Always love getting shallash with giga structures on. Can bring the system back to life

I love your videos. Please continue to do them for as long as you find joy in it. I always take these dickheads out when I play to get revenge for the pacifist empire that had the equidistant moons that you detailed in your earlier video. My current game led to me getting a forced peace with them after I started annihilating their fleets and invading their planets. They wound up having one of their smaller backwater planets left as their only system. I let them keep it as the game went on. When the war in heaven event triggered, they were one of the empires that went to war and the other FE promptly demolished the military xenophobic isolationists along with 2 devouring swarm empires. This actually pissed me off because I wanted the xenophobes to rot on their backwater planet. Their legendary commander is one of the best if not the best in the game and his fleet puts all of my other fleets to shame in terms of fleet power.

I miss the pre patch ploy of setting up starbase next to their empire and donating it to a rivel.

Omg Red King upload!!! Day ruinedn’t!!!

I love fallen empire lore

They are also incapable of awakening in response to the crisis. (Tho they will help)

yeah I just devolved both of the planets a moment ago before I save the game and went to bed...

Tbh, all Fallen Empires are hardly be recognized as dangerous.They pose a real threat only in the first century of the game, and then it's just a question if you wanna defeat them tactical or with share numbers. I go for numbers, every time, calmly amassing fleets, and metaphorically nuking them with one barrage from two hundred battleships. If I'm authoritarian or xenophobic, they end up as domestic servants, while their slaves are freed. Just to spite them.

You have a wonderful tone of voice for this kind of work mate! I already adore sci fi lore and Stellaris but you've a real knack for creating a sense of wonder that even gets me gassed 😂 👏

Love the content m8 keep it up but on an unrelated topic how do I open the strange wormhole?

You could also use matter disruptors to do armor and shield penetrating damage! The only counter is hardening, wich their ships dont have!

Hey guys i just cracked a holy world, wish me luck in the insuing chaos to follow :)

most recent game i played i was a machine gastalt nanite swarm and i used the Neutron Sweep on all the xenophobe planets, then colonized the two major worlds (core and boundry) which were gaia and turned them into machine worlds... and i rescued an admial of theirs so he had to watch my swarm eradicate all of his kind and desicrate his homeworld. im surprised he was ok with that. lol

Not many people are taking about it, but from a lore perspective given Cetana and Zarqulan are contemporaries, are the Fallen Empires technically millions of years old given Zarqulan's tomb is millions of years old.

The falic mushrooms are my favorite race!!! 😂

Yay!!!

love and greetings from germany

Did you ever cover the EHOF storyline from Gigas?

But what about the Rogue Servitors?

I am your lord

no the dangerous empire is the one which uses console commands

yippie

I felt good when I bombarded their planets until nothing was left as Virtual Fallen Empire, having 3 times their fleet power, then just shut down the colony, letting their once prosperous homes float empty in the galaxy.

Hello

Holy Guardians I feel like are the most antagonistic to the player if the player isn't a spiritualist. Just having robots in your empire is enough to really annoy them. Xenophobes you just can't build next to their space. But these two being the most aggressive of the FEs, are the easiest to take out so it balances out.
