back again with the ending days of this campaign. To recap;
>tempest defeated and the L-Cluster secured to turn into a vast series of hive worlds
>maweer got absolutely fucking dunked on by the devouring swarm and the federation before my truce with them even ran out, and almost went extinct if it weren't for refugees fleeing into God knows where
>my Colossus has been constructed and a new fleet is currently being built
>while I was planning where to batter the swarm back to for fewer chokepoints the Unbidden spawn in their fringe systems
>the materialist FE has woken up and done nothing of particular note
>the xenophile FE is engaged in a humiliation war with the swarm as well
>the pre-sapients on my frontier mining world have been assimilated and modified to suit their new role as menial workers and warriors
if the unbidden get shitstomped I'm gonna laugh so hard

unironically yes, I offered them 10k of each strategic resource, 1k dark matter and 20k alloys but they refused to give up this one utterly worthless system. Got it back in the end when their empire collapsed after most of their worlds were eaten at least.
