Early game event chain: Nomad One

[ViolentBeetle]

An idea with a beginning and the end, but no middle. Needs middle.

Plot: Around 150 years before game started, your species had launched interstellar generation ship called Nomad One (Perhaps name can be obscured or randomized, but it's the working title). Specific reasons vary with ethics, additionally post-apocalyptic civic gets their own version. Should you roll your lucky number, you get this event around 15-25 years into the game to try and find it.

Sol-starting empires only given consideration if there's no human_2 empire, human_2 empire is not giving this event at all.

Resolution:

• Reveal history of their failure, allowing you to build a monument giving colonization-boosting empire effects, unity or something like this.
• Find them still alive, but stuck on a space ship still. Life in space ship changed them giving them a special trait (Current idea: shorter life span and lower habitability, better unity generation, increased leader max level, experience gain, lower mineral and food production, lower consumer goods, food consumption and slower breeding). Also add natural sociologists (If no other natural exists) and remove some traits, such us habitability and life spawn boosting, strong, mineral and food boosting, quarrelsome, decadent, solitary, survivor and other stuff life at generation ship would remove.

Our away team has completed their survey of the ancient generation ship we found. The interior of the vessel is not an attractive scene, with two members of the team involuntarily voiding the contents of their upper digestive systems in revulsion. According to security footage and activity logs it appears the original colonists split into a loose "tribal" system of sorts, based around onboard duties soon after departure.

[SCIENTIST] concludes that the second generation, the children of the original colonists, was raised in this tribal system and must have fully internalized it, because it appears the ship underwent something akin to a civil war. After an altercation over which "tribe" owned a particular washroom escalated to violence and eventually murder, the two groups erupted into full conflict.

The minimal security detail was, understandably, entirely overwhelmed.

Two days of fighting led to the complete eradication of the smaller side, mostly comprised of technical staff, and critical damage to the life support systems. With nobody left alive capable of repairing it, the remaining crew slowly suffocated over the course of the next week.

Further notes: Final system can instead host a planet with knock-off primitive civ called Madwahn

If you are a nomad-one sender for them add special observation event "Reunion" that annex them quickly and for free.

Make sure to write events in case someone uplifts or annex them.
