My Stellaris empires always end up starting more like the vulcans with a focus on science and mostly peaceful exploration, and end up a society of soul-crushing academia that will compromise their own sanity, values and safety for any chance at powerful or dangerous knowledge, ruling over a collection of random protectorates that they maintain for little reason other than diplomatic influence and to have someone to lord their vastly supervisor tech over.

So you become the brotherhood of steel

Maybe? I'm not really familiar enough with them to know

Not really. The Brotherhood hordes tech but doesn't really innovate and they're basically Fallout Nazis after 4.

They were already pretty fashy but 4 sealed the deal, with an assassination of the few characters keeping them as kind-of-the-good-guys between the entries and the rise of their own Hitler type that, fortunately, a lot of players who missed the political commentary will kill for his sweet coat.

So, you play with the Federation Humans?

Far less friendly, aliens in my empires tend to get marginalized to basic resource planets and banned from growing their population because my primary species is more optimized for research output. Also my most common ascension path is bio-ascension, which federation humans would find very illegal since it's primarily genetic augmentation.

I start out ad the Ferengi but end up being the joint Ferengi Klingon Empire
