Osiris's Empires: Human Diaspora

The year is 2200. After centuries of war, environmental pressure, and overpopulation, six empires reached out beyond the Sol system to stake their claim in the galaxy.

While the western nations of Earth ultimately joined with the UNE, they first formed an alliance among themselves to send a colony ship to the stars laden not just with it's people, but the ideals they wished to preserve. This Alliance of Western Nations continued those ideals in the new world they called home.
Born of a pan-Asian coalition from Earth, and founded when their first colony ship settled in a binary system. Being founded in a binary system, their society evolved an appreciation for the dual but interdependent nature of all things.
The humans of the Neo-Arabian Republic originated from the unification of Arab countries on Earth following the second Arab Spring. As the nations worked out their differences, they rediscovered the Arabian spirit of knowledge-seeking similar to that of the Golden age of Islam. Centuries later, this united arab republic set the stars, found a capital on a new world, and formed the Neo-Arabian Republic, bringing with them the influences of their own history.
When the United Nations of Earth colonized Mars, they couldn't have known that somewhere in the depths of space, an asteroid of cataclysmic proportions was destined to impact the red planet in a few centuries. When the course of the asteroid became known, Earth was so populated that only a portion of the humans from Mars could be reintegrated. For the remnants, the UNE partnered with Mars to build a migratory fleet and give them the chance to set out to find a new home beyond the solar system. The trauma of losing their homeworld instilled a drive to rebuild at their new home with vigor, and to build a defense such that they never suffer destruction again.
With their idealogy opposed to that of the UNE and as punishment for their war of reunification, the reconstituted Soviet block of nations was banned from UNE membership. As a result, they formed their own colonization effort on the backs of starship designs stolen through espionage from the UNE. They exported their idealogy to the stars in the shape of the Soviet Star Union.
Every great leader of humanity has called for unity. Winston Churchill reminded us that when there is no enemy within, the enemies outside cannot hurt us, and Ghandi cautioned that for unity to be real, it must stand the severest strain without breaking. It has been centuries since those words were spoken, and yet we have not answered the call... until today, as a unitied peoples, as a United Nations of Earth, we soar to the stars in our gleaming ships. Ships with a payload of our bravest people and our greatest principles. Let us seek peace with those we meet, let us welcome them with open arms, and let us bend with the wind, but let us not break. For those that will not make peace, we will stand as one.

In order to have the creative freedom to make these empires, there are quite a few mod dependencies. The good news is that my planned empire mods will use most of these as well, and only likely only add a few more to the list. To lighten the load on you a bit, I've packaged several of the dependencies into a single pack. This pack contains the ship and emblem dependencies. Soon I'll update the description of this dependency mod with proper attribution to the original authors.

In terms of load order, I'm not sure it matters but this works for me:

Osiris's Empires Mods
Osiris's Namelists for Stellaris
Osiris's Empires Dependencies
z Expanded Traits, Civics, Pops and More
Planetary Diversity
UI Overhaul Dynamic
UI Overhaul + PD
Stellaris Evolved Alpha

-There are some weird display issues with Stellaris showing ships in the preview window of the empire screen. To see the ships for the empires it's best to go into the empire editor.
-Other mods that mess with the color palettes in the game may cause the empires not to show up.
-Mods that cause conflicts with the listed dependencies can cause the empires to not show up.

If you run into problems, please post below and I'll do my best to resolve them.

I know the last thing you want is another modder asking you for money, so I won't ask for that. But if you appreciate the creativity and countless hours of work I've put into this and my other mods, please consider supporting my aspirations as a speculative fiction author. Visit "Spec Arabesque", my speculative fiction Substack site, where you can read the first part of any story I publish for free, or enroll in a paid subscription to read and comment on all the content available now and in the future. Rest assured, I put the same love and attention into my creative writing as I do my mods. See for yourself:


If speculative fiction isn't your thing, I also have a Substack about my favorite NFL team, the Cleveland Browns:
