Wait didn't the ancients/Sohnen turn off the jumpgates whenever we got close to delivering a decisive blow to a Xenon branch so we could never fully destroy them or stop their evolution?
Plus what's really weird is that EVERY NPC fighting them keeps taunting/joking about them...no one takes them serious it seems.
It is highly confusing.
They need to redo he cap ships and add some more dangerous M ships and maybe even an L ship...I wouldn't complain if they also added a way to capture and fly some of them (hint hint)
tbh I don't, but i would like to know the whole story obout the xenon and why the JG went offline
. And to be honest i think that the Terrans are the only race in the game that took Xenons as a seriouse treath...
So I will TRY to piece anything I still remember together.
1: Humans invent Terraformers to try and make planets far away hospitable
(They also build a jumpgate at some point during this near Earth...the first time a race that isn't Ancient does this)
2:Humans give a new generation of Terraformers the ability to work autonomously by using resources they find on planets to replicate,replace and upgrade themselves
3:Updates for the Terraformer software are being sent via drones.
4:Due to bad funding a bad update is being sent out to them. The Terraformers are now allowed to evolve themselves and change according to their needs.
5:Terraformers start attacking settlements that humans had previously won through this and other method
6:Terraformers get close to earth, already killing millions on their way there.
7: A big part of the Terran/Xenon army is being let away by Nathan R. Gunne through the Earth-gate and the Earth gate gets destroyed. (R. Gunne being one of the most important names of the X universe, even factions are based off of it)
8:Terrans/Xenon that stayed back at earth are defeated after heavy losses.
9:A lot of back and forth with many battles being won against the Xenon.
10: MANY years later the Xenon seem relatively close to extinction. The Sohnen appear and tell us to stop nuking the Xenon and change the gate connections.
11: The NEXT year the Xenon evolve to have an ACTUAL self-awerenes. They are now sentient/real beings.
12:The now aware Xenon no longer want war and stop attacking/invading.
Bonus1: Some idiots think its' a good idea to build new Terraformers near Mercury and cause another Terraformer uprising.
I am not sure that we know the exact circumstances why the Xenon are hostile atm. Maybe they are as name would suggest just a "BRANCH" of the main Xenon that either has not achieved self-awareness or they are an extremist splintergroup. It is also possible they just defend their sectors right now which is why they rarely stray far from their sectors...maybe there is a reason, but it is not known to me.
As to WHY the Sohnen are helping the Xenon. AFAIK the Sohnen are ROBOTS/MACHINES/ANDROIDS themselves. They are the first mechanical species to be accepted by the ancients and are thus kind of their "executioners" as physical involvement is probably beyond the ancients by now.. The Sohnen might see a bit of themselves in the Xenon and knew that they were about to evolve into self-aware/sentien beings and thus helped to give them the chance they might deserve.
Because ANY genocide caused BEFORE being self-aware is nothing you could IN THEORY blame the Xenon for. They did not know concepts of self, of good, of life and whatnot. They only had their directives and evolved alongside those.
The Sohnen are currently also the Only level 3+ (or level 4) civilization with a physical presence in our universe atm....so even if we wanted to question their motives, we have no leverage.
