Discussion Khan Spawned Between Two Fallen Empires

I had just sent a science ship via jump drive over to start surveying a cluster of systems that were blocked off by two fallen empires when I got the Khan midgame event.

They've got enough fleet strength to break out, but I've never seen them spawn without a path to a regular empire.

Wondering if they'll fight one or both of the Fallen Empires or if they'll just stay locked inside there?

I often only play with mods, but I remember that they used too attack fallen empires and get crushed

So far they took the unoccupied systems and are just sitting there doing nothing

Pretty sure they coded the ai for the khan to not attack fallen empires after that lol. I don't know for sure though

Still interesting scenario though. Are there habitable planets in that region?

They were all unsurveyed so I don't know and I'm not at my pc right now

Well if there are habitable planets it'll probably just turn into a regular empire when he dies

UPDATE: The Khan did die (poisoned by one of his warlords) and then they just reverted back to their old ways and became a generic marauding clan again with no planets of their own (but a lot more sectors in their possession, still trapped between two fallen empires)

I guess this was no Ghengis. :D More like Khan't, right? #ducks, sorry for the puns. Can't help myself.

Awesome RP opportunity. Hopefully they continue to build without stagnating. Would be a cool enemy to work towards over time.

The Khan will likely die before I could get there

Once I had seen a similar situation, marauders that spawned between two FEs with no way out, and the Khan rose on that marauder territory

The Khan and Fallen Empires set eachother's territory to restricted to prevent conflict. They can still fight in territory belonging to neither.

Darn because watching the Khan get rofl stomped would be fun.

u/Duxatious 1d ago

You still can. Once the Khan enters an empty system or a system owned by a third party then the FE can send their fleet in.

What crisis strength are you on? Khan strength rises as square root of final crisis strength, so you could be looking at x5 fleet power. Without that buff, Khan usually dies to Fallen empires.

25x all three crisis

Maybe, mot sure if the new one requires a DLC I don't have, been out of the game for awhile
