Investigating the alien signal more often than not will reveal their deaths were pointless - that there was nothing there, a mining beacon placed by minerals, or even an observation post from friendly aliens who had planned to introduce the civilization to the galactic community. With the economy collapsing due to the panic and potential societal collapse approaching, the leaders detonated nukes worldwide to grant their race a quick death rather than chance whatever was planned by the aliens. * The Ruins digsite has the player uncover the history of a long-dead race who became terrified on detecting a faint alien signal from another planet in their system. It sadly accepts the fate of its kind and perishes at last. At the end of the chain the player discovers the ruins of the Grunur homeworld and the last true Baol, kept alive by a stasis field until now.

While many of them are DefiantToTheEnd, the majority are as sad as you'd expect: ->'''Hive Minds''': The knowledge contained within our Mind. * The Nemesis adds diplomatic messages you can sometimes receive when you completely conquer an empire. The emptiness of a galaxy with AbsentAliens when you would normally see a galaxy filled with alien polities. Just you and '''maybe''' the starborne enclaves. 1000 stars, 5x habitable planets, no empires, no Fallen Empires, no Marauders, no primitives.
