The A New Species is an event that is inevitable as long as main species Pops live on a colony with less than 40%  Habitability. The eventual reward is an additional subspecies with additional traits.

## Initial events

### A New Species

*Many of the [species name] inhabitants on [colony name] have turned to genetic modification to help them cope with the [planet or moon]'s hostile environment. The changes they have made to themselves are being passed on to their offspring, and their physical appearance is changing at an alarming rate. They have started referring to themselves as "[random name]".*

* Gene Tailoring researched
* At least 4 main species Pops on a colony
* Main Species has below 40%  Habitability on the colony
* Main Species has below 50%  Happiness on the colony

**OK*** Some Pops gain the  Self-Modified trait, the colony's climate preference and random traits

### Rising Tensions

*Tensions between the [self-modified species name] population on [colony name] and the [main species name] they share the planet with are rising. Several attacks have been carried out by individuals on both sides, including at least two bombings. Both sides of this conflict are radicalizing, and more acts of violence seem likely.*

* Not  Pacifist or  Fanatic Pacifist
* Not  Xenophile or  Fanatic Xenophile
* The species with the  Self-Modified trait isn't purged or enslaved

**Worrying.*** All Self-Modified and main species Pops on the colony gain  Militarist or  Xenophobe ethics

## Tension events

The tension events will all take place after the *Rising Tensions* event. Once all tension events have been triggered the event chain will end with no further notice.

### Representative visits

*A representative from the [self modified species name] communities on [colony name] has traveled to [capital name] to voice the grievances of his people. According to him, [self modified species name] are subjected to widespread discrimination by the [main species name] authorities on his homeworld, and he is demanding we take immediate action to improve the situation.*

* The species with the  Self-Modified trait isn't purged or enslaved

### Modified Species Massacred

*A [main species name] extremist militia group recently staged an attack against a major [self modified species name] city on [colony name]. The inhabitants were massacred by the thousands and their homes razed to the ground. A message left by the attackers on the planetary datanet simply states:

**[colony name] belongs to the [main species name]!"***

* The species with the  Self-Modified trait isn't purged or enslaved

**Worrying.*** A Self-Modified species Pop on the colony dies

### Main Species Massacred

*Heavy fighting has been reported from the rural areas of [colony name]. There have been several clashes between [self modified species name] and [main species name] irregulars. The [self-modified species plural] appear to have won the day, and their guerrillas have burned down many settlements. Civilian casualties are high.*

* The species with the  Self-Modified trait isn't purged or enslaved

**Worrying.*** A main species Pop on the colony dies

### Increased Fertility

*The [self modified species plural] on [colony name] have made alterations to their DNA. Not only has their fertility been dramatically increased, but their children now reach adulthood much faster than normal [main species plural]. [self modified species name] population numbers may soon be increasing at an exponential rate.*

* The species with the  Self-Modified trait isn't purged or enslaved

**Worrying.*** The Self-Modified species gains the  Rapid Breeders trait

### Increased Strength

*In responts to the violent confrontations between [self modified species name] and [main species name] inhabitants on [colony name], the [self modified species plural] have taken their genetic modifications one step further. They are now both stronger and faster, while their bodies can take punishment that would kill normal [self modified species plural].

Just two unarmed [self modified species plural] reportedly killed at least a dozen members of a [main species name] militia in a recent incident. We may be looking at a dangerous escalation.*

* The species with the  Self-Modified trait isn't purged or enslaved

**Worrying.*** The Self-Modified species gains the  Strong trait
