Started the game wanting to play as a xenophile empire and explore the wonders of the galaxy and expand my borders through friendly diplomacy, 400 years into the future and my empire sends thousands of ships daily to the meat grinder fighting in an endless war on all sides against filthy xeno scum, eldtrich horrors from beyond the void and even ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ space skynet terminators.

Started out as the Federation from startrek but ended up as the Imperium of man from warhammer 40k.
