A large midlife quadrant. I generated a map randomly, but then I went through and setup common starting points that were spaced out a bit to ensure people didn't start right next to each other. To give us time to develop our empires and stories before all the fighting begins.

And two, since my story is somewhat point of view oriented, the short character treatments don't necessarily have to focus on any event.
And of course your empire is so fractured they weren't alone even if they were the only race in the quadrant.

I'd actually been hoping not to make first contact in the Last few turns. I had my latest installment written several days before my scout reached its range limit, but had to wait for the game to catch up to get the final numbers right. Contact would have interrupted the storyline I spun out of the ruins discovery.

I think we have been a bit easy to describe contact between 2 alien civs. I have a few idea I would love to write with somebody else.

But hell !!!!!!
Never in my SE4 playtime I went against such a bad start. more than 20 explored systems and all I went into were 3 planets of my type and athmosphere(1 large, 1 medium, 1 tiny). I thought about writting about a cursed specie, but it's true !!!

Contact at Last !

The Fleet of the Damned encountered The Cytherian Republic.

Now let the story begin :-)
