So here we have one system with two Bronze Age Humanoid Primitives on Tomb Worlds with indications of a previous civilisation.
It's fascinating to me some of the story prompts or situations that arise in this game:
There should be a tech level called something like Schizo Tech where in such situations there would be a weird mismatch of technology. Possibly with the option of finding something more advanced than even what you have.
It's a pity Observation Posts don't have special options to search for vaults or find out what happened, surreptitiously moving them to a better planet, trying to repair the damage, etc.
I always think how mad it would be to live on a planet with another planet in the same solar system. Eventually telescopes would advance to the point where you could see cities on each others planets. They might think god's lived there or eventually figure out space travel and race straight to the enemy planet. Might make a good novel.
Certainly their War of the Worlds radio broadcast would be scarier.
As far as i remember it, this is not a random event and the explanation is revealed pretty soon after building the observation stations.
Had the stations built for a while and active, so far nothing. I'll see what happens though.
EDIT: Couldn't wait so I did some googling, similar scenario but didn't see that exact one coming.
Well, in my playthrough... SPOILER WARNING ;-)
They invented space flight, colonized the other planet, after a while got mad at each other over their differences (hence two similar but seperate species) and nuked themselves back to the bronze age.
So like The Expanse.
There is a story. The game will tell you
I enlightened them both eventually -- paused and started the process at the same time.
It seems to have created an empire consisting of both species but where one is the primary. Both planets changed, the planet with subject/secondary species has happiness modifiers for the leader of the empire.
I've found this system. Never got any more context for it. I assumed they nuked each other. I think both species had the Quarrelsome trait.
It's tricky to enlighten both of them, because enlightening one of them gives them the entire system. In my last game, the Great Khan conquered them both, then I liberated them into my empire after the Khan died.
See First Cycle, by Piper & Kurland.
Keep playing...
Just in general or related to this in particular? I'm pretty familiar with all lore and events pre-Distant-Stars
This is a new special system. Just keep playing.
So far nothing, had control of the system for some time with the observation posts built. I'll see what happens though.
EDIT: Couldn't wait so I did some googling, similar scenario but didn't see that exact one coming.
One reason for you not getting the event could be that another empire already explored the system, what you get is an anomaly that explains the story, but if someone else has researched it, too bad.
What's the Event?
