Stellaris First Contact Story Pack adds origins and mechanics for telling stories about civilizations’ early encounters with visitors from the stars, who may not arrive in peace.

New origins

Three origins give your civilization different histories with extraterrestrial visitors:

• Broken Shackles: You begin as alien captives who have taken over their ship. You and your fellow prisoners must survive and build a diverse community, while your former captors may take notice.
• Payback: Your civilization has repelled an invasion by a spacefaring conqueror. With access to the invaders’ advanced technology, you can discover what lies beyond the stars.
• Fear of the Dark: Your people have suspected they are not alone, especially since an incident on one of your planets. A large faction opposes exploration of the unknown, and you must choose a path as your civilization needs room to grow.

Pre-FTL interactions

New mechanics expand how you can interact with pre-FTL civilizations. The available interactions depend on their technological level and whether they know you are there; your arrival may be welcomed or provoke violent panic.

Cloaking technology

You can equip ships with cloaking devices to survey in secret or catch an enemy unaware. Cloaked observation posts can also monitor pre-FTL neighbors. Your scanners and intelligence matter, since other civilizations may be hiding in the shadows too.
