Honestly i would say it reminds me more of Mass Effect than Stellaris (Linnera are a mixture of Vorcha and Turians, Oroks are like the Kett from andromeda but we don’t talk about andromeda, Synthetics are of course the Geth, Aurelians are pretty much Asari) It simply aint Stellaris withouth the good ol fashioned unnintentional space war crimes, getting kicked in the balls by a Space Warlord while you are recovering your economy, getting bitchslapped by a army of sentient warships, getting hit with a baseball bat because a giant worm said so, and having your body be used as a match ring by two senile old folks that have the equivalent of the nuclear codes ---
