The Solar Foundation

Suggestion

Idea for a mod

SOLAR is a foundation built for the sole purpose of wiping the V.O.I.D. off of the map. Fostered by an Archotech in the year 5643, Solar technology is gotten through Voidtech, taking it directly from V.O.I.D. members, or making it themselves. They act as a perfect unit, seamlessly wiping the minds of Void members and incorporating them into the foundation. The Solar foundation is perfectly designed for the takeover and assimilation of Void.

On the third day of a new colony appearing on a planet occupied by the Solar foundation, a group of representatives will appear at the map tile of the new colony to offer an alliance. As with Void, the representatives will offer three options.

[Three odd looking figures walk up to (colonist name) in shining white suits and masks. They look suspiciously similar to those odd people who told you to leave the planet yesterday. The leader speaks in a resonating voice - "You have made a grave mistake coming here, friend. This planet is occupied by the corporation known as Void. I would highly advise leaving as fast as possible, or rooting yourself in and getting ready for what they bring to the table." ]

Option one - Ask for help in surviving the Void.
Alliance with the Solar foundation that will never decay and cannot be broken, unless a member is harmed in any way. If you break the alliance, then the Solar foundation will treat your colony as if you are Void, and attempt to wipe you out.

Option two - politely decline help from the foundation.
Relationship will be set to 0 and can be gained or lost freely. Solar foundation will act like a normal faction.

Option three - rudely tell the members to leave.
Relations are set to -100 and the representatives will give a warning message and depart.

The difference when you are hostile with the Solar foundation from anyone else, is that their raids will not ever give up. A raid sent by the Solar foundation will aim to kill every colonist, mech, and animal you have. They will destroy every building of yours and convert ground into sand afterwards. No matter how much of the raid you kill, down to the last member, they will not ever give up and kidnap/steal what they can.

Solar Flare : an event that will convert a random Void base into a Solar base. Will happen once every quadrum. It cannot ever be a base of another faction other than Void. In addition, the Void expansion event cannot ever target a Solar base.

Completly open to Suggestions on how to improve this idea.
