Humanity is caught in the middle of a war between two ancient forces: the awakened Shadows and their ancient rival - the Vorlon Empire. The War in Heaven, named after a biblical event from the Book of Revelation, is also a reference to the Second Shadow War in the series Babylon 5.

The Fallen Empires are inspired by the Vorlons and the Shadows from Babylon 5 with their ancient technology, dogmatic focus on a single ethic and millennia of stagnation that eventually allow the younger races to catch up and surpass them. One of the dialogue options is Those aren't even real ethics., referencing how they're no longer present in the game.

Those two ethics and the arguments they brought are referenced in an anomaly event describing how a primitive civilization destroyed itself after an ideological schism over the definitions and morality of collectivism and individualism. Those ethics were very controversial and the source of many long-lasting forum arguments and thus were replaced with the more carefully-designed ethics present in the current version. In patch 1.5 they were replaced by the Authoritarian and Egalitarian ethics respectively. Species with the Blorg portrait have a 1 in 140 chance to say 'Umm.friends?' instead of regular fungoid sounds when contacted via the Contacts menu.īefore the 1.5 patch Stellaris featured two additional ethics: Collectivist and Individualist. Finally, a possible name for black hole systems is Blorg's Bane. The xenophile advisor references to the Blorg as friendly, the Subdermal Stimulation tech shows a Blorg body-pillow, the Chemical Bliss drugs it unlocks include Blorg bodily fluids, and the Uncanny trait (which describes machines made in the image of one of the most horrific species in the universe) shows a robotic Blorg. The Blorg became something of an inside joke within the game. Due to fan requests, the empire was included in the game at launch, together with the Fanatic Befrienders AI personality, unique only to the Blorg and any empire with the exact same ethics and traits. The Blorg Commonality was a fanatic xenophile misunderstood empire that desperately wanted to make friends, and also had a militarist side in order to force others to be their friends if everyone rejected them. During the pre-release stream series former Stellaris game director Wiz was inspired by one of the fungoid portraits to create a very friendly but hideously ugly species called the Blorg.
