Perhaps we should look towards establishing a union or federation of sorts. Maybe we could call it "United Nations". I'm sure the mememancers will support a name like that.
United Cosmospolis?
We surely are innovating on the interstellar stage with our enlightened policy of nonviolent nonresistance. Long live the U.N.!
Our active passivity will guide the galaxy to a brighter tomorrow
Leave it to Stellaris to make "sit on your hands and wait for the aliens to not murder you" a viable tactic.
They might still conquer us, thus Earth military continues building up. Fortunately now we are less likely to die as a species, thus if we are conquered, it will be all according to keikaku and humans will spread their human ways amongst the Adnori.
Incredible. Everything we have ever done or believed in is vindicated by other people changing their minds about something.
I still can't believe how we're actually improving the galaxy. I'm tempted in future to mod in something along the lines of an Irenic Monarchy, only instead have an Ironic Democracy
Guess we're obliged to go psy now and make everyone love us from the comfort of home?
Just as hoped, our collective will to benevolence and harmony has translated itself across the canopy of space to our sibling-beings of Adnori.
As the collective consciousness of humanity expands beyond a crucial point, we are more willing to translate the vectors of the universal matrix which binds all energy - and thus, all beings, together. Just as each mind consists of many neurons working in harmony to form a collective consciousness of self, every self in the galaxy communicates information and forms a cosmic whole - to attack our neighbours to make them see as we do, would be as if a person's brain attacked itself, only causing harm to us all. As our harmony expands to the galaxy, so too does the greater wisdom of our cosmic self become all the more apparent. Do not say we live in the Milky Way!
We live in the only Way!
In celebration of this step towards enlightenment by a nonearth species (alien recently having been declared to be a word containing undue hostile implications), Senator Chi Chi Me proposes the creation of a small probe to land carefully on the moon and deliver a series of apology letters in a variety of languages and formats for the undue harm and stress caused to it by the Apollo Program and the impactors of Old NASA so many decades ago.
Might it be more appropriate to communicate using holograms projected through the Planetary Defence Shield? I feel launching even the smallest of probes upon the moon could be a further affront, just as one would be aghast at sending glowmites upon one's precious bodily pores. This would make anyone self-conscious enough to purchase cleansing lotions
This thread is beautiful. Part of me hopes you last until an Crisis appears, just to see if you somehow survive.
I have deep concern for this, a theoretical xenos with which no negotiation is possible.
2294:01:12: The Xeno Freedom Observatory has been founded by Professor Alison Webb upon the United Nations of Planet Earth. The Xeno Freedom Observatory promises to safeguard, promote and observe the freedom of all Xenos throughout the galaxy; its first issue being to lobby for the United Nations big book of words to change 'Xeno' to mean 'Similar to us' rather than 'Other than us'.
We established contact with the distant and most noble artists of the Artisan Troupe enclave station at the far galactic reaches of somewhere else! Also the Royal Adnori Domain declared a rivalry with us, but most importantly of all we proudly and near-immediately beamed 1,000 energy credits to the Artisan Troupe to be their most cultured and refined sponsor of the first recorded instance of pan-Galactic cultural exchange!
Red Fruit and Aarohi Varma,
Welcome and similar soul,
Though one is Mollusc,
The other MammalSadly they are very far away from us, but that is ok. It simply means that all corners of the galaxy have friendly faces present :]
2296:04:12: The Royal Adnori Domain declares rivalry with Mandasura Berserkers, resulting in the Triangle Enmity.
2297:05:03: The United Nations excitedly begins construction of the
MUSEUM OF DEEPEST LORE. The
MUSEUM OF DEEPEST LORE intends to be the first united effort by mankind to collect, preserve and showcase every single artifact and item of any cultural significance for all mankind to see free of charge, forever, with a self-learning administrative curator AI continually searching for new artifacts, aided by an army of daring explorer-archaeologist-shopper droids.

Galactic Stock Exchange research begins alongside quantum field manipulations to grant Earth the edge in energy production. Two months later, the research is scrapped, as the UN deems the project unnecessary at this time - with Planet Earth getting ready to overhaul it's one power-plant to power all of Earth with the first quantum-field manipulation energy grid. Also important question, is it ok to modify the genes of humans?
With the improvement of Earth telescopes, we have been able to observe how our voidspace has become a haven for alien lifeforms that would otherwise be hunted within the sovereignty of other Empires. Our non-interference has kept vital ecosystems open and safe for all spacebourne entities!
*OOC, I have added a mod that makes solar systems prettier, and also removes many of the event clauses that restrict events to firing on non-capital worlds. Given that we're only a capital world, this should occasionally make things happen
