Wait, your telling me that you've never wanted to have a Perfect run with other factions too?

Hä!? Did you understand the question?

I did. Mostly poking fun of the questions simplicity.

They are far from being forced on the player. Compared to the Exiles rewards you get to pick the destination, if you even want them to spawn on a system to begin with. Top that off with the fact that any, and I do mean any, major or minor faction can be Exiles and I'm not certain the Horatio quest is even worth complaining about.

so no deeper meaning, I can just get rid of them?

Entirely up to you. I personally enjoy the food bonus that can come out of them, plus the quest lines that come out of nurturing Horatio give me a decent amount of amusement when the opportunity presents itself.

Are you complaining about the events that give free pop or specifically the quest that gives 3 Horatio pop?
Because I don't really see a reason to not like free population on planets. If you don't like them, just ship them off to a maxed out system where they will just float about until someone kills them.

No, I just wondered, if there is some deeper meaning to it with the 3 Horatios. Maybe some advantages I do not see yet or follow up quests. I usually like to find additional pops I can use for specific planets, but the Horatio ship usually gets scrapped when I find it...

There are several quests that give you free population, not just Horatio, but I usually just send the ship to search curiosities in enemy territory, or I just sell it. I usually never need them around. Maybe if I'm short on races as Unfallen or need some more population to build Riftborn nurseries.
