The scourge say they have been running from the hunters for eons. If the unbidden are the hunters, the scourge would have learnt to stop using jump drives ages ago to be able to flee and hide better

[@TheRedKing]

Very true!!

[@jhtrq1465]

10:09 The Hunters seems to operate by "extinguishing" stars (the whole galaxy disapeering), this is more akin to a Crisis Empire than the Unbbiden. One other fact is that the Scourge we fight are mere remanants of fugitives feeling from those Hunters, and they are still on par in terms of firepower with the Unbbiden, so a full power Scoruge wouldn't be so terrfied by the Unbbidens. My best guess is that those "Hunters" were a successfull Crisis Empire that blow out every stars in their galaxy, forcing the Prethoryns to flee

[@felixleong61]

So, the most dangerous threats in the universe are a bunch of Stellaris players. Make sense 😂

[@MonkeySimius]

Now my head canon is that the scourge initially attracted the unbidden with jump drives. They realized their folly too late and their entire galaxy was consumed by an unbidden faction. Thereafter they escaped to other galaxies and don't use jump drives so as to not get overwhelmed by the unbidden which such technology attracts.

[@radiofish5649]

I wonder if the Unbidden are actually made up of a Crisis Empire that “ascended” from a previous cycle. I know that the Crisis Empire ends up blowing up their entire galaxy, so maybe they come from another galaxy, I wouldn’t imagine being in a higher realm of existence prevents them from getting to the galaxy you play in. After all, I think using warp drives are suppose to attract the Unbidden right? Acting like a beacon for them to go to across the universe maybe. I don’t know if you’re trying to ascend to the Shroud or some other higher realm when being the Crisis, but since the Unbidden are “close” to the Shroud, maybe they ascended to that new realm or somehow traveled there after getting into the Shroud? The Unbidden are also ravenously hungry for life energy, similar to the Crisis Empire’s desire to wipe out every sentient thing around it. Maybe the ascended have become even more apathetic than their past forms, now being able to sustain themselves off their victims?

[@TheRedKing]

Could be!!

[@Kroq-gar]

I don’t this this is correct as it is stated when you ascend, is that your species “has full control of the universes reality”

[@VPCh.]

It's worth mentioning that these are a reference to the Firstborn from A Space Odyssey by Arthur C Clarke. Almost everything in Stellaris is a reference to something, so this is very likely. This also implies that they may have seeded life, or at least advanced it, long ago to bring the difference species to the present level. It would also explain why most of the species are advancing to the same level at the same time.

i think unbidden are the strongest contingency are too spread out, can be beaten with "normal" ship designs, also their main threat in form of the ghost signal can be ignored by biological and psionic empires scourge meanwhile lacks the means of replenishing their forces, also they are countered by their own weapons so if you win a single battle and collect the loot you can push back against them even easier unbidden meanwhile start a big invasion in a single system and if they aren't immediately contained they will put their anchors down and prevent the rift from being closed allowing them to keep getting reinforcements also their weapon is useless against them

If the Unbidden race, Contingency, and the Prethoryn Scourge are the equivalent of stagnant threat to a type 2-3 tier civilizations just below the Forerunners, the Culture, or Interim coalition of governance in raw power and capabilities then the Hunters might be the equivalent of the Precursors or the Xeelee.

[@badpiggies988]

“This was not their first incursion” I also think that’s true of the Scourge, in one game I did a special project and got a battleship-class Prethoryn queen in the opening. Maybe they came to the galaxy and won shortly before the Yuht evolved?

when you become the crisis and win the game says something like you ascend to a higher plane of existence so I like to think that they are all former empires that have succeeded in this

The idea in my mind would be that the Hunters that the Prethoryn Scourge fears should be some sort of extra-galactic 'super crisis', so to speak, something either hyper-advanced and seeks to hunt Hiveminds for some reason, or perhaps they are just galaxy-eaters of some sort. Actual death incarnate to even a galaxy itself.

It's a pity the writers said energy is a property of matter and it is their supposition that these entities are energy formed in such a way to exhibit physical properties, when the latter is actually true for everyone. Matter is actually just energy, and in a sense we are all made of energy, bound up in special ways. A being "of energy" from our perspective I assume would simply just be "less bound". The universe is nothing but fields and waves within them, forming the elemental "particles" that propagate through spacetime and interact with each other due to the interference of the underlying waves travelling at the speed of light either directly through space (photons) experiencing no time, or at some angle through both space and time, building the neutrons and protons et cetera that we perceive as matter, traveling at some speed less than light.

Stellaris is played in sessions, from year 2200 up to 2400, 2500 or more, if you survive the galaxy and its one or more crisis. It would be interesting to have a Final Crisis after the regular end-game ones, which is the "Paradox" forces intervening on an empire that has existed for way too long, suffocating the cycle of creation and destruction that once gave rise to yourself (it is not a broken 4th wall but it represents the inherent game cycle of Stellaris, it is its soul of rennovation made into a thread). I believe this poetic representation of the game cycle is as adequate as a final crisis could be, and a chance to flex the powers you acquired through beating everything before and probably even conquering the Galaxy itself (thus again, suffocating the start of new empires for the game' galaxy and for yourself as a player).

[@meneither3834]

From my understanding, there are three dimensions you interact with in Stellaris, the dimension you live in, the dimension of the Unbidden and the Shroud. Is that correct ?

I guess so, it's not entirely clear where the worm and various void beasts exist

[@meneither3834]

@@TheRedKing Right, I forgot about Leviathans. the Dimensional Horror should be from another dimension if it's name is true, but I always assumed from the Worm on Waiting event chain that it was some space time shenanigans. The Either Drake Curator information does mention them being from "another universe" but I'm not sure wether they refer to another dimension, another Galaxy or simply an earlier, more energy dense version of the material universe. Finally the Toxic God is interesting too, at the end of the event chain it is mentioned it disappeared into the center of the Galaxy, either the thing is dumb and killed itself, or somehow black holes lead to other dimensions (same one the Dimensional Horror would be from.)

The scourge not having jump drive technology could actually support the unbidden being the hunter species. Consider this, if you were out on an open plain being hunted by a posse, and you knew that setting up a camp fire each night would signal the posse and draw them to you, would you set up that campfire or seak alternate means to prepare food and stay warm? In this case, the scourge may be restricting themselves to warp drive precisely because they know the consiquences of using jump drives.

I’ve only had The Unbidden crisis once so far. It was one of my first full playthroughs and I had the endgame set 50 years later than standard. They spawned right inside the largest empire in the game with the most powerful fleet, in a hyperlane cul de sac with no gateways or wormholes nearby. They conquered about four systems before they were stalled, allowing the Galactic Community to unify and then we all smashed them back within a decade.

Perhaps they were losing the war, and were hoping our galaxy could reenergise them for a comeback.

[@AnonimatosTM]

This could allow Paradox to lead the story to a totally diferent direction, hear me out, what if Jump drives and the Unbiden arent directly connected? This galaxy could be one huge experiment, that would explain why almost every empire developed FTL engines at roughly the same time, and for all we know the fallen empires could be vassals of this extremely powerfull empire, that would explain why they have very little diplomatic options (so they dont temper with the experiment), they cant expand or built bigger fleets (their overlords wouldnt allow it), their tech never evolves (they didnt actually researched it was given to them) and when the galaxy consolidates suddenly there is war in heaven (Introduce foreign stimuli to observe response). Then when empires develop Jump Drives this powerfull empire might consider them too close of some unknown technology that could possibly allow for intergalatic travel and therefore originate a containment breach in the experiment, they activate the beacon and the Unbiden are drawn to it, manipulating them into becoming a failsafe. Then the cycle resets.

I believe that the shroud produces- we'll call it waste, that seeps "down" into another dimension that formulates whatever the unbidden are. But that's speculative on my behalf.- Though I do believe that to them, their entirely different species- since their energy...Body? Is different shades of color. Which, may not sound like much but it probably indicates a different energy making them up- it'd be akin to humans amino acids perhaps and some. Neighbors.. But again- speculation. Though, as we've seen an empire can constitute more then one species, but it truly doesn't really matter if I'm honest. They must be destroyed. On the topic of the scourge- They're psionics, which are interwoven with the psionic jump drives as far as my, lack of psionics, indicates. Which seems to be closer to the reality of the unbidden due such technology usage. If I may be so bold- perhaps the scourge either released enough psionic energy on their own to attract the unbidden by unknown at current time means, or that they had to hastily re-fabricate their drives once the. Hunters. Came for them. In short, shoot them until they die solves the problem once again.

Interestingly , your physicist and archivist data have almost the same speculative theory about the unbidden. They are probably beings that are not made by conventional matter like atoms or molecules (solid, liquid, gas, plasma) , they’re probably exist in the state of something like “man made” phase of matter, and its an insult on science that they are jokingly called “ghost” since they still ride ships and do not float or go thru solid objects like a supernatural being . they are still being bound by the rules of physics - albeit a little different set than the ones we had here in our galaxy ., and believe it or not they can be destroyed by kinetic ammo , basically they’re not immune to the very very big “boom stick” 🤔🤔🤔. xeno biology wise , their biological functions require regular matter (atom or molecules) for their sustenance which i assume is that they break down regular matter to be converted for their biological function and their form of matter (speculative theory on why they use some sort of matter disintegrator weapon), its speculative that they’re state of matter is not stable in our regular galaxy , thus preventing them from staying permanently in our universe and eating other galaxies 🤔 Society wise , its public knowledge that they have some sort of faction feud as only the unbidden seemed to be interestingly in eating us , the other two faction seemed to care more about social status and power rather than making us lunch 🤔 and with those three locked in eternal civil war of sorts .

Not really a bad thing, if you get to the Vehement something pretty awful has happened to your galaxy :)

Me to when I was on the Xbox and I was just a rookie playing stellaris. They completely decimated my empire and I was just getting stable to. Didn't survive long enough to even know it was more of them lol they completely cought me off guard. It was fun because they were a new concept to me beings from another dimension made completely of energy.

This is wrong. Isn't it obvious what they are... they are the 3 endings of Mass Effect 3 come to haunt us!
