Ascendance

More images. A chronicle of this alien homeworld was shown to us in great detail. These beings formed millennia ago by a chance combination of gasses and energy that accumulated nearby a massive Astral Rift. They flow freely in and out of their planet as if they were part of its atmosphere. At the end of each life cycle, their essence disperses back into the planet and gets born anew. Cities in the sky rose, fell, and rose again. Civilizations formed on top of previous civilizations with the knowledge physically maintained by these ancestral particles. The degree of the time passing was safely estimated to be magnitudes greater than the history of our known universe. In the end, we behold a civilization of awakened higher beings. Their physiology alone is more advanced than any technology we could conceive. We have logged this new species in our databases as the Formless. "flourishing..." Once again, we're receiving more data than our computers can reasonably handle before it becomes corrupted or lost. We should prioritize the type of information we'd like to preserve.

The command below will trigger the "Ascendance" event in Stellaris:

When this event fires, you can choose between these 2 options:

• Preserve the physics data.
  • Leads to event: Shatter
• Preserve the society data.
  • Leads to event: Shatter

Stellaris events fire in chains — one event leads to the next. Here is how Ascendance (astral_rift.1015) connects.
