The Shroud is a realm of pure psionic energy that existed since the dawn of time. It is the place from where psionic species and individuals draw their ability, and a place where those who awakened their psionic potential could see in their dreams. The realm is inhabited past powerful beings of pure psionic energy that can be communed with through great endeavour.

Accessing the Shroud [edit | edit source]

90 days after the empire has selected the Ap transcendence.png Transcendence Rise Perk it will receive a special project called Breaching the Shroud that requires 20000 Society research Society Enquiry. Upon completion, the Shroud will exist added to the Contacts menu from where it tin be entered.

Entering the Shroud requires 1000 Energy.png Energy and adds the Mustering Psionic Strength empire modifier for v years, which makes the Shroud unavailable for some time. The R zro crystal.png Psionic Annal relic reduces the elapsing of the Mustering Psionic Forcefulness empire modifier to 2.5 years, assuasive the Shroud to be entered twice as ofttimes.

Shroud visions [edit | edit source]

Upon entering the Shroud the empire volition receive a random vision. The outcome of each vision choice is randomized. Each vision too has the option to exit the Shroud if the gamble is deemed likewise great.

Vision Requirements Possible Options
[capital letter name]... the vision is hazy and indistinct, simply there can be no question - it is [majuscule proper noun], our capital. The great cities look different however familiar, fifty-fifty through the obscuring wall of flames and smoke. Thousands... no, millions of mutilated bodies litter the streets, all of them [main species proper noun]. The stench of decay is unbearable.

"YOUR Futurity."

Cypher living remains in the ruins. In the sky above, massive orbital installations, trailing smoke, have begun a slow and inevitable descent towards the planet. Are we witnessing i possible future out of many?

"NOT One OF MANY. Information technology SHALL Come up TO PASS. AS SURELY As THE Dominicus RISES. Information technology IS YOUR DESTINY."

The vision ends every bit chop-chop as it began, leaving behind a miasma of swirling psychic energies.

In the deeper regions of the Shroud, a presence suddenly makes itself felt. Visitors, like us - a powerful psionic probe made by minds equally utterly alien to us as they are to the Shroud.

A faint image of massive organic beings floating in some kind of thick, gaseous atmosphere while beingness attended by swarms of smaller creatures flickers briefly into being equally their psychic echo touches our ain.

An countless desert stretches before united states. We take been here earlier.

"Shala'kul milem zunak?"

Something emerges from the sand. It is difficult to run across.

"Zharabi, melasuk."

The words are like thunder, spoken by a mouth for which they were never intended. We are compelled to answer.

Of a sudden, in a painful moment of clarity, the nature of our existence is laid bare. A multiverse where thousands of galaxies like our own are locked in endless cycles of conflict.

Information technology begins, it ends, and so it begins again. Each time with trillions of lives hanging in the balance.

"And so information technology is," a phonation whispers, "and so it shall always be."

This is a particularly tempestuous region of the Shroud. Massive currents of raw psionic energy is funneled through here, sometimes giving violent nativity to semi-intelligent spiritual apparitions.

These confused spirits ofttimes disharmonism with one some other, unleashing massive amounts of psychic power in battles that can concluding millennia. In fact, several such duels seem to exist taking identify correct now.

Nosotros should go along with circumspection.

We are looking down upon our galaxy from far in a higher place, at a distance of what must be hundreds of thousands of lightyears. Without alarm, the psionic current plunges us downwardly towards the myriad stars at an incredible speed, into the region of infinite belonging to ane of the Fallen Empires - the [fallen empire name].

Stars swish by, then planets, until the vision finally settled on a [fallen empire species name] city. Incredible spires ascent towards the sky, aided past anti-grav engineering science generations across our own. The electric current takes us into such a spire, through wall afterward wall until we reach a large meeting room of sorts. Information technology is occupied by two [fallen empire species plural], floating comfortably in aught-gravity chairs while conversing with each other in soft voices.

They are oblivious to our presence.

In one of the lower planes of the Shroud, we encounter a spirit that has ensconced itself behind some kind of powerful psionic shield.

The concept of fourth dimension, as we know it, is alien to this office of the Shroud. What tin seem like centuries here may equal mere hours or even minutes in the real globe. If i knows where to wait, it is even possible to glimpse into the time to come...

Precognition is one of the surest paths to madness for a telepath, then we must use caution.

A modest, flickering star materializes inside the Shroud. Information technology flies past at incredible speed, and for a 2d, it reveals itself as an conflicting transport of unknown configuration. So it vanishes in a cloud of psionic energy equally quickly as it appeared.

Tin can it exist? Is information technology possible to physically enter the Shroud and so emerge somewhere else entirely in normal space?

We take institute a tiny space inside the Shroud that has a concentration of psionic free energy that is of a magnitude we have never earlier seen. Any psychic that managed to successfully tap into this pocket of raw energy would become immensely powerful... simply there is just enough for a single individual, and there are risks involved.

There are only three individuals in the entire [empire name] that possess the psionic strength needed to tap into this energy pocket with any hope of survival. Who should it exist?

In that location is a presence here, occupying this entire role of the Shroud. We have met spirits earlier, only this is something else, something vastly more powerful... something far more ancient.

Information technology seems unaware of u.s.a. as of all the same. Perhaps it is sleeping. Possibly nosotros are simply beneath its detect.

Perhaps we should go out.

50 years later forming the Covenant The Reckoning takes identify

The Reckoning [edit | edit source]

The Reckoning volition all merely end the empire that benefited from the covenant and instantly destroy all its vassals. When the Reckoning occurs, all planets will be depopulated and turned into 'Shrouded Worlds', which become uninhabitable forever. All fleets and ships will be instantly destroyed, all leaders are killed, and all resources from that empire's store volition be tuckered almost completely. Having lost everything, the covenant empire will survive only in the form of a newly colonized planet of survivors, which volition starting time with the default name of 'Exile'. The game will pick any planet with twoscore% habitability or more, even if it is located inside another empire's borders. If that planet is somehow Shroud-Marked, or no planet is otherwise possible, the game is instantly lost.

Every regular empire will gain a −thou Opinion modifier with the remnant of the Shroud-Marked empire for "bringing the end", with a decay rate of 5 each yr.

Every previous colony will spawn a shroud manifestation. Finally, an immensely powerful Shroud entity known as "The Reckoning" - representing the combined essence of all deceased psionic individuals in the former empire that summoned it – will appear over the empire'southward former capital, and proceed to seek out the remaining life in the galaxy. It normally leaves the exiles for terminal, and therefore the exile empire should showtime prioritize surviving against other empires instead and trying to expand if possible.

In this state, one might do good from the Reckoning, depending on the circumstances. Y'all may be able to conquer the Milky way and achieve the terminate yr victory if you time it correctly.

As the Reckoning randomly targets worlds to destroy, its power will increment as information technology consumes more than pops (up to 5000 pops). Information technology gains bonuses to hull, shield, burn-rate, damage, and shield regeneration equally follows:

Pop.png Devoured pops Health Health Shield Shield Shield Shield regen bonus Attack speed Attack cooldown Damage Damage Other stats
<500 60,000 150,000 100 2.17 4x 600–1400
  • 5x Mod ship speed mult.png Jumpdrive Range
  • xxx% Evasion Evasion
<g 110,000 250,000 200 1.45 4x 900–2100
<2500 160,000 350,000 300 1.08 4x 1200–2800
<5000 210,000 450,000 400 0.87 4x 1500–3500
>5000 260,000 550,000 500 0.72 4x 1800–4200

The Reckoning has relatively depression tracking, but its range, firepower, fire rate, wellness, shields and shield regeneration are massive. Despite all its might, there are all the same two courses of action that come up into a take chances of defeating it. I is to wait for it to target an Awakened- or Fallen Empire, another crunch or any stiff empire with tough fleets to weaken or fifty-fifty destroy it. The other pick is to keep building upwardly for the eventual meet alone, since The Reckoning will usually go out the exiles for final.

If the exiles have lost everything, they oasis't lost their Technologies and Traditions, meaning they tin can withal catch up given enough fourth dimension to rebuild the economy. It'south likewise possible to merchandise one-fourth dimension resource and/or diplomatic favors with the AI empires for monthly resources, simply earlier the Reckoning to occure, since trade deals can't exist canceled despite the empires' now −1000 Opinion towards you.

One strategy to defeat the Reckoning in boxing is to dodge its attacks using swarms of corvettes and utilize weapons that tin can pierce/ignore shields, like Guided Missiles and Hangar Strike Craft. The Reckoning targets random planets in its destructive spree, then the player will take several chances to retreat, rebuild, and come back. The Reckoning will tend to target minor ships first and only appoint larger ships when all smaller classes are defeated. A combination of two to three dozen carrier battleships with strike crafts – whose weapons featherbed shields – and a large swarm of several hundred corvettes with regular torpedoes - who too ignore shields - with about 5 repeatable technologies that boost damage output of both systems accept a proficient hazard of greatly weakening or even defeating the Reckoning in a single battle.
