[@peo4989]

Sounds like democrate talking point

[@autotainment3113]

the full speech : “Citizens of the civilized galaxy, on this day we mark a transition. For a thousand years, the Republic stood as the crowning achievement of civilized beings. But there were those who would set us against one another, and we took up arms to defend our way of life against the Separatists. In so doing, we never suspected that the greatest threat came from within. The Jedi, and some within our own Senate, had conspired to create the shadow of Separatism using one of their own as the enemy's leader. They had hoped to grind the Republic into ruin. But the hatred in their hearts could not be hidden forever. At last, there came a day when our enemies showed their true natures. The Jedi hoped to unleash their destructive power against the Republic by assassinating the head of government and usurping control of the clone army. But the aims of would-be tyrants were valiantly opposed by those without elitist, dangerous powers. Our loyal clone troopers contained the insurrection within the Jedi Temple and quelled uprisings on a thousand worlds. The remaining Jedi will be hunted down and defeated! Any collaborators will suffer the same fate. These have been trying times, but we have passed the test. The attempt on my life has left me scarred and deformed, but I assure you my resolve has never been stronger. The war is over. The Separatists have been defeated, and the Jedi rebellion has been foiled. We stand on the threshold of a new beginning. In order to ensure our security and continuing stability, the Republic will be reorganized into the first Galactic Empire, for a safe and secure society, which I assure you will last for ten thousand years. An Empire that will continue to be ruled by this august body and a sovereign ruler chosen for life. An Empire ruled by the majority, ruled by a new constitution! By bringing the entire galaxy under one law, one language, and the enlightened guidance of one individual, the corruption that plagued the Republic in its later years will never take root. Regional governors will eliminate the bureaucracy that allowed the Separatist movement to grow unchecked. A strong and growing military will ensure the rule of law. Under the Empire's New Order, our most cherished beliefs will be safeguarded. We will defend our ideals by force of arms. We will give no ground to our enemies and will stand together against attacks from within or without. Let the enemies of the Empire take heed: those who challenge Imperial resolve will be crushed. We have taken on a task that will be difficult, but the people of the Empire are ready for the challenge. Because of our efforts, the galaxy has traded war for peace and anarchy for stability. Billions of beings now look forward to a secure future. The Empire will grow as more planets feel the call, from the Rim to the wilds of unknown space. Imperial citizens must do their part. Join our grand star fleet. Become the eyes of the Empire by reporting suspected insurrectionists. Travel to the corners of the galaxy to spread the principles of the New Order to barbarians. Build monuments and technical wonders that will speak of our glory for generations to come. The clone troopers, now proudly wearing the name of Imperial stormtroopers, have tackled the dangerous work of fighting our enemies on the front lines. Many have died in their devotion to the Empire. Imperial citizens would do well to remember their example. The New Order of peace has triumphed over the shadowy secrecy of shameful magicians. The direction of our course is clear. I will lead the Empire to glories beyond imagining. We have been tested, but we have emerged stronger. We move forward as one people: the Imperial citizens of the first Galactic Empire. We will prevail. Ten thousand years of peace begins today.”

It is time for us as nations and as individuals to set aside our long-standing feuds and unite. The tides of an unwinnable war are upon us, and we must seek refuge upon higher ground lest we be swept away by the flood. The Community is no more. Whatever semblance of unity and protection it once provided is a phantom, a memory. With our enemies left unchecked, who will you turn to for protection? The devastation wrought by the invaders is self-evident. We have seen our homes and communities destroyed by the calculated moves of the Contingency. We have seen first-hand our friends and loved ones consumed by the nightmarish Prethoryn. Unprecedented, and unimaginable though they may be, these are the signs of our time. The time has come, my fellows sophonts, to rally to a new banner. In unity lies strength. Already many of the dissident factions have joined us. Out of the many we shall forge an indivisible whole capitulating only to a single throne. And from that throne.. *I* shall watch over you. From this day forward, let no thinking being make war upon any other, let no agency conspire against this new beginning and let no one consort with extragalactic powers and to all the enemies of the Galaxy, seek not to bar our way for we shall win through no matter the cost."

[@thelostchevalier]

There are not enough "like" buttons to transmit the goosebumps you made me feel.

[@punk5hits]

if I can give like for everytime I rewatch the video maybe it already hundred likes...

[@ted9756]

With Thunderous Applause is actually the name of the achievement on Steam for becoming Emperor. Truly best meme of 2021 so far.

[@TheSenzrule]

What would be a cool feature is actual news updates or threads talking about the decisions you make or made for your empire....... like how it does it in this trailer.

Had a long session of Nemesis. It feels like the last piece of the puzzle Stellaris needed. This is the game I think I dreamed of playing when I was messing around with MOO2 in the 1990s.

1:51 I see you palpatine

[@MJRSoap]

Then there's that one inward perfectionist empire that's just like "You guys nearly wiped out the galaxy, dissolved the senate, and started another Galactic civil war and we *still* don't care!"

[@Mr.Cheeseburger24]

*Unbidden spawn in the galaxy* Unbidden: We have come to devou....wait...where is everyone? Me, the crisis: *I AM EVERYONE*

[@punk5hits]

hahaha

[@FaultlineSurfer]

I feel like an Unbidden invasion in the lore galaxy would be like Command and Conquer 3, where the aliens invaded earth and GDI and Nod only fought them because they were literally in the middle of the battlefields so they were getting in the way lol

[@acharndael9159]

yeah, finally an original meme. beside from star wars. that was sicking

[@daedalus4748]

"The time of the transition of power has come." "No. It has not, but now is the time to rebuild and insured that no empire become as near powerful that nearly wipe out the galaxy." For some reason, I love that line.

[@zandaroos553]

Translated in to American: “The time for the transition of power has come.” “Wrong.”

[@Theideaspectrum]

Me when I started playing stellaris: Peace is our highest aspiration! Me now: “Khorne cares not from whence the blood flows!”

[@OGButterlord]

This trailer gave me chills of excitement

[@cyprys2137]

The Galaxy: "You have freed us!" The Custodians: "Oh I wouldn't say "freed", more like "under new management""

[@sammcgrath4127]

0:15 "heart of darkness" clear vic 2 reference. Vicky 3 confirmed.

You're telling us there's hope?

[@TheFanNumber1ForCorr]

The galaxy can't rule itself, we know this because it tried... and it failed. Therefore today I will assume complete control and guide it they it needs to be guided, I will lead it the way it needs to be lead, I WILL protect it from ANY who would oppose its will with decisiveness, wrath, fury, and the blood of my foes... And what is the will of the galaxy? ...My will...

[@dohminkonoha3200]

My emperor in game was a peaceful Scientist like Captain Kirk in first,and He became the galactic emperor like Darth Sidious. In order to ensure security and stability, The community will be reorganized into the first galactic imperium!For a safe and secure society!

Rewatching Bab5 and the Vorlons just began their campaign of destruction in time for this launch.

So thus the glory of the Emperor is wide and far reaching, His Custodians represents His very word, and his Space Marines will be his wrath made flesh, and the human armies His hammer. Ave Imperium

[@ACrazedGaming]

Man I wish they could release a speech system Like every now and then an empire will release a speech when something major happens Same with news broadcasts

[@MD4564]

This sounds so cool, if only these cutscenes were like that in the full game as part of the story line :D

[@zondor8123]

if that was the case, the storage would change from 10gb to 30+ gb. quite the ambitious needs money worth of million dollars

The sad part is is that you can tell the stellaris development team was actually really proud of Nemesis. And yet it just wasn't that good. A real shame.

[@shadowscall7758]

Really? Nemesis was great.
