At this point the Prethoryn Scourge appears in the contact log but cannot be communicated with. In each vanguard system 3 Star Brood and 3 Transport Fleets will spawn. 200–600 days after the vanguard the main invasion fleet will arrive at the center system. 120 months after that, a transmission will be received from the swarm.ģ0 months later the Vanguard will arrive with 12 fleets.

The closest 5 systems are marked for the vanguard fleets. It will not be an owned system either unless every rim system is claimed. The system cannot be within or near a Fallen or Awakened Empire. A system at the edge of the galaxy will be marked as the center of the Invasion. On a MTTH (Mean Time To Happen) of 50 years, they will be close enough to get the general direction of the swarm. Immediately a situation log notice called "The Coming Storm" is added. The Prethoryn Scourge Crisis begins with a notice about subspace echoes beyond the galaxy that are approaching. During an endgame crisis an audio cue that will play in the background and grow more pronounced the more systems are controlled by the crisis. The chance is increased by the aforementioned modifiers.Įndgame crises have a situation log entry that keeps count of the casualties on both sides and shows how close the crisis is to being defeated. If the Crisis Type game setting has been set to a specific crisis then that crisis alone can appear, with a 20% chance to spawn every 5 years.
