[TODO] : Origins for authorities, ethics, archetypes

[gebnar]

These would be available to anyone without DLC purchase, except for megacorp and species packs. None planned for Lithoids or later...

Post ideas in this thread.

Here's an idea: Your pops wake up from cryosleep, having been stored there in case your race goes extinct (tragically, it seems to have), which triggers a bunch of events, relics, etc. throughout the game. Maybe what used to be your homeworld is now occupied by some FP bugs. Maybe you find a colony with your species pops, but they've devolved to primitives or maybe even pre-sapients. Basically you slowly start to find out why your species' old empire bit the dust, and what happened afterwards.

I'm going to start drafting some stuff for it, starting here: fc703e6e6d2fb13c2e831c45f073530fc28b2a5c

Planetary Union: The nations of the old world at some point created an organisation that would oversee our species' operations in space. Though as we expanded into our solar system, the organisation did not have much power, since the discovery of interstellar travel the organisation has gradually gained more and more power until it became the world's sole government. Maybe deserves it's own authority but i can think of it being democratic and having stats like these: Reduced Admin Capacity, Increased Naval Capacity, One planet being colonised already, Increased Trade Value, Increased Mining and Research Station Production, Increased Ethics Deviancy, Increased Crime, Reduced Influence income and etc.

Ecological Disaster: Your species has ruthlessly exploited nearly everything that your home planet had to offer. Only now, once the very existence of your species has been threatened by the planet's already weak ecosystem threatening to disappear entirely, your species is starting to consider colonizing other planets. All these worlds will be ours to exploit for their riches.

Your home planet has got a modifier which greatly increases it's planetary pollution and makes life very unpleasant. Your species will receive produce very high amounts of planetary pollution but all your production is doubled. (Not sure if this is balanced or not) . Eventually all your planets will turn out the same way that your home planet has. Your species receives very high negative opinion modifier from most empires and the galactic community will attempt to stop your virus-like expansion into the universe.
