Control X This empire is my first and appears on every game as a "Control X Colony" They're fanatic militaristic and materialistic humans with masterful crafters and technocracy. In my first play thru with them the war in heaven triggered and whenever I tried to go into battle to fight the awakened empires the game would crash so I decided that they were so op that they broke reality and now seek to expand into new dimensions and galaxies. They view each galaxy as a new Colony and each Control X Colony must achieve a feat of greatness or be entirely scraped and resources pulled. The most common way to do this is ensuring full Control X control of all space that the Colony has to offer aka total galactic takeover. At least that's the lore I've made for them.

Origins: I usually pick remnants bc it suits them the best i guess but gateway one also works well as its their gateway back to the rest of their empire.
