1. Added two new decisions: Construct Sentinel Pops and Construct Promethean Pops[/b].
- Both decisions create 5 sentinel and mechanical promethean pops respectively on any planet that has an active sentinel factory, promethean factory, or the newly added deposit Sentinel Defense Network.

2. Added the Sentinel Defense Network deposit on all Forerunner megastructure installations. This deposit allows any empire that owns this deposit the ability to unlock the decision to construct their own Sentinel pops.

3. Added a new war goal: Defense of the Mantle based on the Human-Forerunner War that allows anyone that uses the Mantle of Responsibility civic to wage war on another empire they deem violates the Mantle. Winning this war will offer two choices:
Quarantine Empire: The loser empire is subjugated and forfeits all of its territory with the exception of their home system.
Dismantle Empire: The loser empire is destroyed completely and reduced to primitives on their homeworld, losing all of their territory and technology becoming a stone age primitive civilization.
- You cannot use this war goal on gestalt empires.

4. Added more options to the starting pop-up menu for Forerunner empires:
1. Acquire both Tier II technology and Forerunner ship utility components
2. Acquire Tier II tech only
3. Acquire Forerunner utilities only
4. Start with neither

Fixed an issue with the domain relic requiring 3000 influence instead of unity.

- Added the missing Forerunner Astroengineering tech research to the Ark Origin.

- Removed the trigger limit that prevented other players that use the forerunner civics/origins from getting Forerunner utility tech options at the start of the game.

- Altered the Halo effect event to be more thorough in its targeting of organic pops and their colonies: Any planet that doesn't have pops that can survive a halo effect will have its colony destroyed. Pops that can survive the effect will still have an intact colony, but all biological pops will be killed off.
- Added a Swarm inflected planet counter to the halo effect event.
- Removed the halo effect modifier from stars after firing.
- Although it shouldn't harm pops within sharpened shield worlds, I added an additional trigger to prevent the Halo effect from occurring on this planet class.

- Added a new gateway: Slipspace Portal that operates like a gateway but only within its own network. Must have Slipspace Field Manipulation researched to construct them and Slipspace Portal Activation to use them. This will also prevent empires from travelling to Sharpened Shield Worlds or the Ark using a regular gateway. Any empire that uses any Forerunner civics or the Ark origin will have this tech at the start of the game.

- This portal megastructure has replaced the gateways for the Ark origin and Sharpened Shield Worlds.

- Slipspace Portal Activation that can also be researched by any empire around Tier IV.

- Rearranged the Halo Array spawns to be more evenly placed around the galaxy.

- The Ark's spawn location outside the galaxy has been moved to the bottom right.

Bug Fixes:
- Fixed an issue with the number of Huragok pops given from the genesis shield world decision.
- Fixed an issue with missing Huragok portraits.
- Fixed an issue with Huragok pops being immediately purged when created.

- Changed the administrator jobs to politician jobs for the Ark Citadel and Council Amphitheater deposits.
- Updated the Installation 00 origin tooltip.

- Made several changes to the Installation 00 origin where your starting location will be outside the galaxy.
- Two gateway portals will spawn (one with the Lesser Ark and one in a random system inside the galaxy) as a link to the known galaxy.
- Gateway travel technology will be given for this origin.
