It occurs to me that we dont have a "Shapeshifter" trait for races yet (both organic and synthetic). I cant play as the dominion if my ruling race isn't shapeshifters paradox!

But once you hit a big enough negative opinion threshold they'll turn into scary space horrors. Bonus points for a weird transition cutscene playing in the diplomacy view.

They know who's top dog now. Amusingly, they of course all detested me instantly because of the massive spike in the relative power of my vassals and the lack of any built trust like my long-time vassals had, so I let most of my new vassals go in peace. A few years later the second largest of those vassals got invaded and quickly defeated by the Spiritualist empire and suddenly many of them came crawling back to beg for protection. Also in this game, I ended up conquering a planetary system filled with horrendously racist shrimp. Being a hive mind, I couldn't really do anything with them (I certainly wasn't going to stick racist shrimp in my own brain), so I displaced them, which was more humane than extermination. They immigrated en masse to the Human Independent Republic, a materialist, fanatic egalitarian, fanatic xenophile democracy controlling five worlds mostly emptied by the war in heaven. The Republic was in a delicate balance between the Humans who had been enslaved and rebelled, and the slaver geckos who had enslaved them. The arrival of the racist shrimp upset this balance of power, as now there was a xenophobic majority in the republic. Over the vehement objections of the xenophilic, egalitarian humans, a racist shrimp chancellor was elected, who promptly embraced Xenophobic ethics and stripped citizenship from all non-humans. Including himself.

I do wish the game could handle things like that better. Like species-specific factions rather than just a global empire-wide ethos balance leading to outcomes like the above. In that situation the xenophobic racist shrimp should have resulted in some sort of faction wanting their own break-away ethno-state rather than their own country becoming an ethno-state that didn't include them. Basically xenophobes of the primary species should be handled very differently than xenophobes of a minority species.

That is an incredible self-own. Would have been better if it meant he got tossed as chancellor immediately instead of when the next election came around.

It admittedly lends some credence to their intentions if the supremacists are like "Yeah of course there's a master race. It's not us though." Also imho Hives should only have hive worlds, with it happening automatically over the course of years or longer after acquisition. Then you'd have to expand constantly to feed the ever-hungrier core as you can't help but reproduce to fill every inch of land you inhabit.

Then re-hire Alexis Kennedy to write an event chain about the buddhist death cult of engineers who glimpsed the mathematical limits of the universe while designing it. I assume he'll do it for free because the pitch has the word cult in it.
