Vreth
The Vreth do not have a word for 'enough.' Exobiologists have confirmed this linguistically. Their earliest recorded cultural artifacts are star maps annotated with consumption status: depleted, active, pending. The Vreth were farming stellar clusters before the Sovereignty's founding species learned to smelt iron. They arrive in systems the way fire arrives in dry grass — without announcement, without negotiation, and without any particular malice. Malice implies a relationship. The Vreth have no relationship with what they consume. They have only appetites.

Gameplay Style: Vreth
Vreth is an overwhelming aggression race. Your +30 Military, +15 Production, and +15 Growth mean that your economy and fleet scale faster than almost any other civilization in the early game. Hive Shipyard dramatically cuts build times — keep your War Citadel ratio high (60–70%) and build continuously from day one. The Great Spawning Pool ability means your population pressure will fill planets quickly, so prioritize Expedition missions to claim new systems before rivals.
Accept that your Sovereignty relation starts at 10 and will likely stay low. Plan your diplomacy accordingly: you will not have legal cover. Pick targets that are isolated or already at war with others, and strike before they consolidate. Fanatical Recruiting keeps your fleet operational even after costly engagements — push through where other races would need to retreat and rebuild.
Your -35 Diplomacy and -25 Research are real constraints. You will fall behind technologically unless you capture enemy research infrastructure or run spy operations to steal technology. Cataclysm is a late-game ace: use it on heavily fortified planets where sieging would be prohibitively costly in MP. Keep morale high — your +25 morale modifier and +40 berserk mean engaged fleets actually improve under fire.
