If you want a more interesting empire in Stellaris that starts a bit differently than the regular start, you can modify your species’ origin. There are numerous origins to pick from that come from DLC, and the more DLC you have, the more varied origins you’ll be able to place on your empire. Your game’s advantages and start will vary, giving you something new to try when you begin your Stellaris adventure. You may create a species to fit that origin best, or you might make it a bit more complicated. So long as your species meets the origin’s requirements and you have the DLC installed, you can use it. Not every origin is the same, and these are some of the best ones you can pick for your empire.
