I'm not sure what will be possible, so I will just throw out a bunch of ideas and perhaps some of them will be good.


Special Become the Crisis perks if you are an Ascended Empire.

New minor artifact action if someone else becomes the crisis, to learn what the Fallen Empires did last time this happened and get bonuses.

Special way to reclaim ascendancy if someone becomes the crisis.

Special way to reclaim ascendancy if someone becomes galactic overlord.

Bonuses to becoming galactic overlord if you are Ascended.

New Districts for Ascended Empires, perhaps more powerful versions of normal ones or districts that have additional types of jobs. Like city districts with an enforcer job.

Special espionage operations for Ascended Empires to use on regular empires to manipulate them.


That's all I have for now. Hope something in there sparks some ideas!
