@HaelBTW, I am working on my sheet and it occurred to me people would probably notice the aliens scouring planets clean of life with zero regard for any inhabitants before plopping down disgusting microbial mats and colonizing those worlds.

I'm stuck wondering if people would have tried to intervene in the past.

Maybe someone that tried to kill it with fire instead got killed in fire?

I almost read that sarcastically. Like, "yeah, suuuuuure she did it for science"

They may have- I can't really speak for the others (as telling you what other player's nations would have done would be poor GMing), but I can say that the Xim would not have intervened. They would have just watched from a distance, and maybe tried to make contact with the aliens and/or abducted a few for gene-research (gotta find out what gene is responsible for their insanity, afterall!) before realizing that they are actually being partially controlled by microbes within them.

As for other player-nations... well, I can't say. That's up to them.

The Federation would be vaguely, sorta aware of them by word of mouth, but the average citizen doesn't know the Mats exist.

The Namilee wouldn't have met the mats, I think. MAYBE they heard of 'em? Maybe? Depends on where the mats are located in space.

Oh, how blissfully unaware the average citizen is, to know not of the microbial horrors that lurk just outside their field of vision...

@Isotope
An important note: how many mats reside on each planet?

I have devised a simple system for deciding how many solar systems you are allowed to have in your territory, but I need to know how many mats can exist on a single world.

By law, four.

Well, by the law of HAEL (the one true law), a max of 18 billion humanoids can inhabit a single planet.

As a result, I will ask you to count 4 mats as the equivalent to 18 billion humanoids, or 1 mat as the equivalent 4.5 billion.

It might seem trivial now, but I can imagine several scenarios where knowing how mat population compares to humanoid population might be important.

Also, unless you have some reason that it should be different, I'm going to ask you to follow the same general rule of "a maximum of 3 solar systems for every inhabited planet", for the sake of keeping it even.

And while we're on the subject, do the semi-sentient aliens that serve the mats work in armies to defend the mats? Because if they do, then you should probably count that as your military for the "Military Size" and "Military Details" section of the NS.

If the X'Cor came across the mats, there would already be a war, @Isotope

Why?

How the hell do you enslave fuzzy mats? Or do you just need a new material for your furniture?

You could totally enslave mats to clean your water and remove pollution, waste products... No, seriously.

Ah, across the galaxy, stories will be told of how the great Mat Empire fell from conquering worlds and genocide ecosystems... to cleaning water for evil bugs.

They wouldn't enslave the mats so much as just destroy them outright for being very, very strange creatures that they do not understand. Granted, they would enslave them if they could understand their true purpose of cleaning water

Ch'ak likely wouldn't intervene with the mats unless they incurred their wrath by taking over one of the few worlds that the Ch'ak'ii specifically avoided harvesting thanks to a life-sustaining planet existing within it. The Ch'ak'ii have a habit of 'claiming' systems they plan on ripping apart since it takes so long to harvest one, and they also do it to systems with life they come across (though it's only been a small handful at present) to protect them.

The Akkab Imperium would enslave the enslaver.

Can @Brink_ add my nation to the map? I don't really care where, as long as it represents an empire of 480 billion inhabitants (accidentally wrote million in the sheet originally) with expansive interests and expensive furniture.
