Come on people vampires are overdone. There are like eight different quests on this site dedicated to them. Machines on the other hand are a rarity. You would be hard pressed to find one. When was the last time you played as a race of potentially killer robots.
Think about the advantages being a machine race would give us. Immunity to disease and other such ailments. No needing to worry about food and being able to make use of practically any celestial body. That alone gives us a big advantage.

Yeah however machines can't use the shroud and fish quests are also incredibly rare.

The vote is clearly borked, but from what I can see there is a tie between machines and vampires, so I am gonna roll a 1d2 to see how won.
1 is for machines and 2 is for vampires.
Vampires it is. The update is dropping on this Sunday.

Pretty sure the reason the auto tally was being weird was because most of the plans didn't have "plan" at the start of their names, since that's needed for votes to be counted the same when the voter doesn't add all the details of the full plan.

This species' tale is different from others, yet similar to some. Descended from parasites that infested the once dominant animals of the distant past, their ancestors thrived where others failed, consuming and adapting towards the modern era, where their evolution took its next logical step.
Before they took their homeworld for themselves there was another species, who built wonders compared to the tiny minds of the parasites, who could not create anything and were dominated by their instincts. But things changed and this species who once ruled over their world was suddenly attacked by a new strain of the parasite that rapidly struck leaving no chance to destroy it.
Its objective was the same as its ancestors: infect, adapt, overcome. But this new version of the parasite came with a new form of function. Utilizing the host species as a living incubator the parasites began to change, they began rapidly evolving towards a humanoid form taking traits of their host species to themselves.
The first generation was fragile, their new existence being completely new to beings that once only swam across host bodies in search of food and incubators for their young. However as they continued to spread they began to learn and evolve, The second generation proved much better, they began to show the genetic traits present in these new forms of theirs.
A charisma that entrenched their prey so that they could further spread their power across the globe. Strength greater than even the most physically active of their host species. And a resistance to most forms of damage. However, they also proved decadent, with the most infamous example being their feeding of hematopoietic cells, such as red, white, and platelets, even though they did not need this for their survival they considered it a delicacy.
They were also seemingly afflicted with slower reproduction of their species, their young taking a long time to reach their mature stage so that they could leave their hosts and reach into their world. But this was offset by the fact that they were practically a species of immortals, being extremely long-lived in comparison to their initial host species and even others found across the galaxy.
With all of this combined it didn't take long for them to eventually take over the whole world for themselves leaving the initial rulers of the world alive so that new members could join their growing society.

3 ethic points (must spend all, normal cost 1, fanatical cost 2)
[] Authoritarian: A strong, guiding hand is essential to the success of any civilization - the alternative would be anarchy and chaos. The state must steer its citizens toward the most productive paths.
- Empire Effect: +0.5 Monthly influence, +5% Worker job output
- Principles: Can use the Information Quarantine edict, Allows Stratified Economy Living Standards, Can enslave aliens, Cannot become a Democratic authority
[] Fanatic Authoritarian: A single voice, a single throne, a single state. It is the solemn duty of the masses to obey those enlightened few who have been charged with the great responsibility of leadership.
- Empire Effect: +1 Monthly influence, +10% Worker job output
- Principles: Can use the Information Quarantine edict, Allows Stratified Economy Living Standards, Can enslave aliens, Will become an Autocratic authority.
[] Egalitarian: Any society that does not embrace equality between its members - where an individual can rise to any position with enough hard work - is not only deeply unfair but ultimately counterproductive.
- Empire Effect: +25% Faction unity gain, +5% Specialist job output
- Principles: Can use the Encourage Political Thought edict, Allows Utopian Living Standards, Cannot use Capacity Boosters Leader Enhancement policy, Will not become an Autocratic authority.
[] Fanatic Egalitarian: Beware always those who would be despots, under the false presumption that their desires and agendas are somehow more imperative than those of their fellows. A society that does not see to the needs and rights of all of its members is not a society - it is a crime. As the species is a Necroid Archetype, this ethic can not be chosen.
[] Spiritualist: Some think it behooves us to remember how tiny we are, how pointless our lives are in this vast uncaring universe... What nonsense! The only truth we can ever know is that of our existence. The universe - in all its apparent glory - is but a dream we all happen to share.
- Empire Effects: +10% Monthly unity, −10% Edict cost, −10% Edict upkeep
- Principles: Can use the Veneration of Saints edict, Can build Temple buildings, Cannot use Citizen Rights AI policy
[] Fanatic Spiritualist: Our science has proved that Consciousness begets reality. We regard with patience the childlike efforts of those who delude themselves; it is the other way around, as they play with their blocks of 'hard matter'.
- Empire Effects: +20% Monthly unity, −20% Edict cost, −20% Edict upkeep
- Principles: Can use the Veneration of Saints edict, Can build Temple buildings, Cannot use Citizen Rights AI policy
[] Materialist: As we reach for the stars, we must put away childish things; gods, spirits, and other phantasms of the brain. Reality is cruel and unforgiving, yet we must steel ourselves and secure the survival of our race through the unflinching pursuit of science and technology.
- Empire Effect: −10% Robot upkeep, +5% Research Speed
- Principles: Allows Academic Privilege living standards, Cannot use Outlawed AI policy, Cannot use Outlawed Robotic Workers policy
[] Fanatic Materialist: Although it hurts, we must grow up and put aside our outdated notions of morality. There is no 'divine spark' granting special value to a living mind. No object has any intrinsic value apart from what we choose to grant it. Let us embrace the freedom of certitude, and achieve maximum efficiency in all things!
- Empire Effect: 20% Robot upkeep, +10% Research Speed
- Principles: Allows Academic Privilege living standards, Cannot use Outlawed AI policy Cannot use Outlawed Robotic Workers policy
[] Militarist: The only true virtues are courage and discipline and channeled properly they can overcome any obstacle. Therein lies true strength; force withheld, a promise made.
- Empire Effect: −10% Claim influence cost, +10% Ship fire rate
- Principles: Can use the No Retreat War Doctrine policy after completing the Supremacy tradition tree.
[] Fanatic Militarist: The ability to project force is of paramount importance. The only way to preserve our way of life is to make sure everyone shares it; willingly or not…
- Empire Effect: −20% Claim influence cost, +20% Ship fire rate
- Principles: Can use the No Retreat War Doctrine policy after completing the Supremacy tradition tree, Cannot use Defensive Wars policy.
[] Pacifist: Conflict as a means to an end is a ridiculous concept. It is by nature destructive, destroying what was to be obtained or giving room to grow that which was to be destroyed.
- Empire Effect: −15% Empire size from pops, +5 Stability
- Principles: Can use the Peace Festivals edict, Cannot use Unrestricted Wars War Philosophy policy, Cannot use Aggressive Interference Pre-FTL Interference policy, Cannot engage in Indiscriminate Orbital Bombardment, Cannot use Aggressive First Contact Protocol policy
[] Fanatic Pacifist: As civilized beings, the end of all armed conflict should be our primary concern. War is an evolutionary dead end, as futile as it is wasteful.
- Empire Effect: -30% Empire size from pops, +10 Stability
- Principles: Can use the Peace Festivals edict, Must use Defensive Wars War Philosophy policy, Cannot use Aggressive Interference Pre-FTL Interference policy, Cannot engage in Indiscriminate Orbital Bombardment, Cannot use Aggressive First Contact Protocol policy
[] Xenophobe: The stakes could not be higher as we reach into the vast uncharted expanses of the galaxy, for we are gambling with the very survival of our species! Never trust the alien; its false smile hides an unknowable mind…
- Empire Effect: −20% Starbase influence cost, +10% Pop growth speed
- Principles: Can use the Fear Campaign edict, Decreased Opinion with alien empires, Can Purge and Displace aliens, Can enslave aliens, Can use Livestock slavery, Cannot grant aliens Full Citizenship, Cannot grant aliens Full Military Service, Cannot use Refugees Welcome Refugees policy, Cannot use Proactive First Contact Protocol policy
[] Fanatic Xenophobe: Any alien influence must be ruthlessly quashed. Only by staying pure, and true to ourselves and the planet that gave us life can we guard against insidious Xeno plots. Even mastery over the Alien might not be enough to guarantee our safety...
- Empire Effect: -40% Starbase influence cost, +20% Pop growth speed
- Principles: Can use the Fear Campaign edict, Can Purge and Displace aliens, Can enslave aliens, Can use Livestock slavery, Decreased Opinion with alien empires, Cannot grant aliens Full Citizenship, Cannot grant aliens Full Military Service, Cannot use Refugees Welcome Refugees policy, Cannot use Proactive First Contact Protocol policy.
Xenophile: There exists, in all of us, a deep-seated fascination for the unknown. An adventurous spirit that rejects the familiar and glories in the unfamiliar, whatever - or whomever - it may be. As the species is a Necroid Archetype, this ethic can not be chosen.
[] Gestalt Consciousness: We reach into the void. The vast expanse becomes us.
- Empire Effect: −20% War exhaustion gain, +1 Monthly influence, +2 Encryption, Cannot change ethics
- Principles: Will become a Hive Mind authority, Cannot change authority, Can use the No Retreat War Doctrine policy after completing the Supremacy tradition tree, Factions cannot form, Gestalt Pops are not affected by happiness, Gestalt Pops cannot survive in empires with a different authority, Gestalt Pops use Menial Drone and Complex Drone strata.
[] Authoritarian: A strong, guiding hand is essential to the success of any civilization - the alternative would be anarchy and chaos. The state must steer its citizens toward the most productive paths.

[] Arid: Dry, rocky world with a nitrogen-oxygen atmosphere. The dust-covered terrain consists largely of mesas and canyons. Forests can be found in the more temperate polar regions, but vegetation is otherwise scarce.
[] Desert: Dry, rocky world with a nitrogen-oxygen atmosphere. Precipitation and major bodies of surface water are relatively rare. Significant temperature variations between day and night cycles. Vegetation is scarce, but even moderate precipitation can make the desert bloom.
[] Savanna: Rocky world dominated by dry, arid plains covered by a nitrogen-oxygen atmosphere. The small hydrosphere allows for brief wet seasons, but aside from a few ubiquitous grasses vegetation is largely concentrated around shallow oases.
[] Alpine: Mountainous world with a nitrogen-oxygen atmosphere. Snow covers the mountaintops and frozen-over lakes dot the valleys. While the planet experiences minimal seasonal variations, the still-liquid water beneath the frozen surface of the lakes is enough to sustain some hardy vegetation.
[] Arctic: Frigid, rocky world with a nitrogen-oxygen atmosphere. The poles are big, and significant water deposits can be found permanently frozen as glacial ice. However, the planet experiences seasonal variations and the equatorial band is covered by vegetation.
[] Tundra: Cold and rocky world with a nitrogen-oxygen atmosphere. Permafrost covers most of the surface except for the more temperate equatorial regions. A stable biosphere exists but vegetation is mostly limited to mosses and lichens.
[] Continental: Rocky world with a nitrogen-oxygen atmosphere. Active and stable hydrosphere. Great land masses are separated by oceans, with large climate variations depending on latitude and precipitation.
[] Ocean: A rocky world with a nitrogen-oxygen atmosphere and a significant hydrosphere. Oceans cover more than 90% of the surface, with scattered islands making up the remaining percentage.
[] Tropical: Humid, rocky world with a thick nitrogen-oxygen atmosphere. Seasons with significant precipitation are interchanged with drier periods. Most landmasses are covered in dense vegetation.

I prefer having a tech oriented civ with technocracy to rush tech and efficient bureaucracy to ensure it takes a longer time before we pass admin cap/depending on how admin cap works here and if it can be increase like in the old stellaris updates.
Materialist for increased tech research speed(cant go wrong with faster research speed), militarist for a oomph for military, Xenophobe to help counter slow pop growth(xenophobe gives +10% pop growth) from trait slow breeders(-10% pop growth) and allows us to expand easier from having less influence(20% discount/reduction of influence cost in building a new starbase to expand territory) needed to expand not to mention if we get expansion as the first tradition we can get a further reduction of 10% cost in influence.
Imperial because I don't want to deal with democracy since its a hassle also I doubt vampires are democratic, they are more clanlike or aristocratic in fiction.
edit: I have a gut feeling that a space vampire civ's first move is to find pre-ftl civ and then invade them to get their pops to turn into slaves or cattle as a living blood bag.
edit 2: do know that efficient bureaucracy and technocracy are both one of the best civics in the game.

To be honest that would be the first priority of any Necroid civilization. You need other species to reproduce, as they will essentially act as living incubators for your young, kinda like the Xenomorphs from Alien Franchise.

Okay, now I am going to the math and write both the mechanics and the first official turn. Might drop all today or Friday depending on how much free time I have.
Edit: Yeah, I am gonna drop everything on Friday, way too many calculations and editing need to be done.

Date ─ 2200.01.01
When the Nocturnians marched to war against the original rulers of Noxus V, it quickly became apparent that they needed a ruler. Someone who could guide them to victory against their adversaries, and claim their home world for themselves and their people. The one who led them would be crowned Emperor, taking a custom of their prey and adapting it for their own use. The First Emperor would lead them towards victory against the Aenqid, the original rulers of the planet.
After that, he would set up a proper government to rule the world. A Minister of both Industry State to handle administrative matters, resource extraction and transport, industrial development, and public matters, the leader of this ministry would be named Sigilate. Next was a Minister of Defense to handle military matters in the name of the Emperor or Empress, the leader of this ministry would be named Warmaster, and in war his or her command was only below the reigning Monarch. Finally, a Minister of Science handled technology development for the Empire's benefit, the leader of this ministry was named the Head Scholar and is considered the foremost expert in technological matters.
And so it went, for decades they expanded their reach across the world the once rulers of that same world serving as living incubators for their young. But soon it became clear that Noxus was too small for them, they must reach upward to the depths of the black void. And so it was during the reign of the second Monarch of the Noctern Empire, Emperor Constantine II, who demanded efforts be made to reach the stars for the Empire.
Scientists headed the call of the Emperor, and soon plans were drawn to create a mighty Starbase above the world that would facilitate their way across the void of space. They also planned the research and building of spaceships to help with both exploration and construction. These were the Beholder Research Ships and the Serpent Construction Ships, though only one of each class would be built before complications arose.
The production of food and extraction of minerals had taken a hit thanks to the constant population growth and industrial expansion from the part of the Nocturnians. This would need to be fixed and fast if the Emperor didn't want his people to starve. Even if the stockpiles would last a good time before starvation became a worry.
Even then, the exploration and expansion into the system was something to keep an eye on as well, the stockpiles of supplies meant to help with said expansion would be useful, as well. Yes, the Emperor could already see his plan coming to fruition, it would start with the home system, then it would be adjacent ones, thanks to the newly created Hyperspace Drive, and from then the rest of the galaxy.

Exploration
(Can only choose one)
[] Tyrant's Fury: The world's closest to our sun, a molten planet, the original rulers of the world had named it after myths of some divine being who they said was the creator of the planet through an act of rage. Utter rubbish, but the fact that it is a molten world might mean that Tyrant's Fury might have an abundant amount of minerals even if liquid form alongside geothermal vents for energy.
Time: 3 Turns
[] Ludilles: The planet that is located 'behind' our own, a barren world incapable of sustaining life. The Aenqid believed it was because one of their gods had burned away the rich life of their world.

Sorry for the long wait, the update had to pass through far more edits and other revisions, plus some calculations before it was ready to be posted.
Hmm let me think.

--[X] Void Drills: Now that the expanse into space has begun, it is undoubtedly probable that someday there will be a battle in space, while we currently lack dedicated military spaceships our Starbase could serve for drills in how a battle would happen. DC 20
-[X] Industrial & Public Matters
--[X] Adaptive Bureaucracy: Further refinements of our bureaucratic means can help further advance the Empire, as resources can move more rapidly with less red tape to impede them. DC 45
--[X] Autochthon Monuments: Monuments dedicated to our glorious rise. In these monuments, the people gather and be awed by the acts of the ones who fought and bled for their current lives, creating a sense of unity, of shared purpose to honor said sacrifices. Or at least that what the Minister tells the Emperor what she thinks will happen. DC 10

Void drills for future space combat.
Adaptive Beureaucracy for +10% to all resources production
Autochthon to rush tradition
Zero-G refineries for better economy material wise
Administrative AI faster research speed.
Genome mapping because faster pop growth (POP is the most important resource)
Exploration on Ludilles cause there is likely tech or anomaly which would give us nice goodies.
Shipyard and solar panel for the modules used in construction.
