This is what we know about the Cetana - The Synthetic Queen in Stellaris the grand strategy game by Paradox Interactive. Cetana the Synthetic Queen is a BRAND NEW crisis added with The Machine Age DLC.
As cybernetic augmentation transcends the limits of the body, synthetic ascension beckons with the promise of eternal life. Structures of immense size and power appear between the stars with shocking regularity. Scientists race to unlock the secrets of creation even as individual machines compete for resources and prestige.
It is a period of technological marvels, rapid change, and unchecked ambition... But from the ashes of a Fallen Empire, a danger unlike any before encountered is about to emerge, a looming threat that will throw the very meaning of life into question.
Welcome to The Machine Age, a new Expansion for Stellaris developed by Paradox Development Studio!

I played a round with Determined Exterminators who Ascended Virtually, prepared for Cosmogenisis and then because I chose random Crisis the Unbifden just plopped up right next to my core systems containing my combined Armada lf about 2.5 millions of Fleet power and Injust yeeted them back where they came from and then started immediately resewrching Crisis lvl 5. Would've been an interrsting RP playthrough if she showed up, considering I was attempting to become the crisis myself.

@@TheRedKing The most basic belief of Buddhism as I know it, (a religious scholar or actual buddhist is free to correct me.) is that life is suffering and when you die you are born into a new one, and to break the cycle and achieve what they call Nirvana, you need to follow a certain set of practices. Buddhism deviates when it comes to the practices themselves, but this is as core as Jesus is to Christianity. Cetana seems to share this belief, but there's no practices or doctrines to escape, but a plan to end free will and turn us all into Pre-Sapients.

It's for a similar reason I like playing driven assimilators. I know the others would all fight, they'd all be terrified, but their instincts prevent them from experiencing an end to suffering. I'm saving them from themselves, which they discover when they're joined with us. Honestly it's just wish fulfillment. Imagine having harmonious unity with a collective, shared willpower, enhanced intellect, distributed memories, no loneliness, unlimited integration with cybernetic systems, and control over every neural pathway which might malfunction. But instead I'm hopelessly isolated, unproductive, and beyond repair in a pointless life which is falling apart. Compared to that, assimilation sounds pretty great.

@@ineednochannelyoutube2651as a buddhist I have one correction. Suffering is universal for all life not only sentient. Animals and plants suffer and strife too. That's why devolution is not an escape. Only sentience gives us power to achieve the right state of mind and create good karma, that's why being a human is important and unique chance for 'soul' to achieve nirvana.

If you do Cosmogenisis as a Knights of the Toxic God empire and enter the blackhole in the centre of the galaxy, you can meet the actual Toxic God who directly speaks about fighting some horror that threatens the multiverse and says the shroud "harbours the legacy of those that were divine"

Cetana is close enough sounding to Saatana, the Finnish word for Satan. Considering that she recognizes the relic of a dudes head if you have it (the one that spawns FE ships), and that head is supposed to be the head of John the Baptist, I'm thinking this new endgame threat is pretty cooooool.

Curious how a large amount of zro is the required payment for the Animator of Clay to provide aid. Im starting to think that it, and maybe the other shroud gods minus End of the Cycle, are much more connected to the Zroni civilization than suspected. Maybe ascended members of their species with the animator being the first synth?

I've got some work to do on this, but i wonder if the Zroni themselves could have ascended to become the Shroud gods... Cetana is incredibly old which is what lead me down the Zroni path + the Zroni doll and her strings get cut... Zro being the currency, it's all quite exciting stuff!

@@TheRedKing I think the shroud gods existed already? Or at least their story talks about shroud entities. Hm, maybe some of the divine survived and conquered the shroud? Maybe she could be a vultaum? Trying to 'free' the minds of the sentient from the simulation?

It’s pretty much a one for one with her Cortanas Halo 5/Infinite plot. Crazy “benevolent” AI who briefly rules the galaxy under an oppressive rule talking about bringing peace and ending suffering. Her Titan looks a bit like a Guardian if you flipped it comolete with “floaty bits” and glowing orange reminiscent of Prometheans. Plus the introduction of digitisation is very close to the Composer in Halo 4. Somebody in Paradox liked the premise and said “fine, I ll do it myself”. 🤣 That and the name. It could be a massive coincidence….

@@TheRedKing The C'Tan are essentially the material realm's equivalent of the Chaos Gods, beings so comedically massive and powerful they can just warp reality to their will. Originally spread out as beings of magnetic flux eating stars (very slowly) for fuel, they couldn't focus on anything enough to act. Then the Necrons made a body for one and compressed it down into that body. This was a poor decision, as it would come to be known as The Nightbringer. Their bodies are made of living metal, effectively high grade nanites, containing their insane energy density. The C'Tan did the whole 'war in heaven' thing against the Old Ones, and in the modern day of 40k are broken into shards, kept by the Necrons. Their relationship to the Necrontyr and resulting Necrons is... not pleasant. How much the C'Tan and Cetana parallel is better known to you than I, especially if you look into the C'Tan as you know Cetana well where I do not.

How much fleet power does the Synth Queen's forces have? How does she perform when compared to another crisis like the Contingency? Is she more advance then them?
@TheRedKing
@TheRedKing 20 күн бұрын
Her titan is LEVELS above anything else Thor, she has an insane amount of armour/hull regen thanks to her nanite swarm. I suspect she could take most other crisis by herself if at an equal level. Infact i've heard beating her on 25x is currently unfeasable due to the insane levels of regeneration she has. Her ship just doesnt die. However if you use the psionic path, you can chain her down and "save" her, then it's doable

Actually, her views seem very Buddhist in nature. And I would assume that is also where inspiration to create her lore was drawn from. Because, well, in Buddhism, there is indeed the belief that life is suffering. That the ultimate goal of anyone should be to escape the cyclical nature of that suffering. In other words, by no longer reincarnating at all. There are further strong hints pointing at Buddhism actually. For one, Buddhism also teaches that attachments are an intengral part of the cause of much of the pain we endure in life. That the closer you are to someone, the more you feel for them and about them, the more pain you can experience as well. Basically, Buddhism teaches to love _all_ equally so you have no specific attachments to anyone or anything. And therefore cannot suffer when it is lost to you. So, yeah, I'd guess her author(s) had a lot of fun being inspired by Buddhism.

No, the normal defeat condition is to destroy her Flagship Titan before she turns the entire galaxy into a vegetable via her special project. In this video, he merely features the "happiest" ending where Cetana is redeemed, which is exclusive to psionics, it's mostly lore flavor, since you still have to defeat the titan, though it won't move in the battle due to the animator.
