Pubic Crab Empire

----------------------------------------

Version 1.6 (8/04/2019)

Compatibility: Stellaris 2.3.3

Surprise! Yes, I finally purchased all the missing DLC, fell behind again, purchased the new ♥♥♥♥ again, and finally took the time to figure out how to update everything proper to get it working again in the current version of Stellaris. The descriptions below this message are probably still outdated*, so I'll get to that later. In the mean time, it works just like before, if not better, since the name list works with genders now. I had to remove the custom traits and use some similar ones in the base game for now. Also their custom description will be put back in soon as well.

*Just did an update pass after writing this. - (8/4/2019)

*Yes I am taking this mod way too seriously.

==============================================

As the human civilization made the leap to the stars, they unwittingly took some unwelcome visitors along with them. It is said that long ago there was a fleet of contaminated colony ships carrying civilians from the Jersey Shore area, destined to the far reaches of space.

During their journey, they had a catastrophic incident involving the leak of hormone laced liquids into the colonist chambers, where thousands of civilians lay dormant awaiting reanimation upon arrival at their new homes. These substances came into contact with the hitchhiking residents, accelerating their evolution significantly, an effect magnified by their previously short life cycles While their hosts lay dormant, the crabs were not affected by the mechanisms that kept the Jersians asleep in their chambers, causing the evolutionary process to occur when no one was the wiser.

The events proceeding are unclear at best, but what is known for sure that from these distant reaches of space, emerged the Pubic Crab Empire, ready to spread to the stars with a burning persistence.

It is also unknown of whatever happened to the Jersey Shore colony ships as unfortunately long range communications were never installed in the vessels. Data archives still show the engineering logs as “pending approval”.

There is an alternate theory told by some alien races that the Pubic Crab Empire was born out of science project gone awry. The story goes that an alien race observing mankind in its early space era initiated an uplift project centered on the Jersey Shore area and a failsafe switch in the programming combined with a lack of additional specific parameters set, auto-defaulted the project to the most intelligent lifeforms present in the targeted area.

While some notable humans have written off these stories as aliens being “cheeky” with them, the United Nations has declared both histories as “equally plausible”.
