* Seconded. This perfectly explains why Earth is what it is: everyone got hugged, man's civilization crumbled to nothingness, and all life on Earth died during Instrumentality. Eventually, toxicity levels in the ocean disappeared, and the atomsphere was supported by only a few plants that survived Instrumentality. Some time after Earth got to T1, a brief interdimensional jump was made by Shinji and Asuka to assess the planet's condition. They concluded it was a "total loss", and decided to return to their new home dimension, eventually sending another scout to another dimension: another Rei clone, under the assumed name [[LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya Yuki Nagato]]. This scouting mission was interrupted by… you know who.

[[WMG: Alternatively, NPC Knights would like new acquaintances.]]
It's commonly agreed that, as strong fighters who fight for the safety of the galaxy, are the GoodCounterpart of Warriors, who fight for their own gain. Not only would liking new acquaintances be another parallel (Warriors distrust strangers), but after hearing of the chronicles of the PlayerCharacter, would come to respect their strength and would appreciate having them by their side to protect the galaxy and potentially destroy [[BigBad The Grox]], so they would try to get on their good side to gain their trust. On the other hand, the weapons they sell would be more expensive than the ones from Warriors, since it's easier to befriend them, but cheaper than from Traders, as they would focus on weapons more than the ProudMerchantRace would.

[[WMG: There are multiple Clarks and Stanleys]]
The reason they seem to come back every time they die isn't because they're immortal or anything like that. The reason is because no two Clarks or Stanleys you see are the same. That's why sometimes they sometimes seem OutOfCharacter in other adventures. If this isn't convincing, in the Maxis adventure Dancetopia, you can see, surprise surprise, multiple Clarks dancing about, name and all!

[[WMG: The God That Will Come's true identity.]]
* The Scrolls of Harmony explain that, since every being is different, their beliefs are different as well, and thus it does not matter what you believe so long as you believe in something. Thus, there is no way that any one religion can represent the empire as a whole, and if there is no one religion, there is no one highest power. Thus, they instead refer to the God That Will Come as an agnostic term referring to the god that your religion prays to. Zealots are the exact opposite of Shamans and only believe in one faith, that of Spode, and thus they deride all other religions as false and their gods as false. They refer to these gods collectively as the False God That Will Come, much as the Shamans. Any believer of any god follows the God That Will Come, as the God That Will Come is who you believe to be your god.

[[WMG: Knights are Warriors who seek to use their military might to stop evil throughout the galaxy.
* As we know, Knights appear and function the same as Warriors when met with a separate save file. However, this is because Knights aren't a real archetype. It's moreso a certain class of Warrior that wants to use their military to bring peace throughout the galaxy. The Knight empires themselves don't want to call themselves brutal berserkers who want to fight everyone, so they go with the idea of being Knights. Nobody else believes in this separation, and, to them, all Knights are simply trying to act as if they're better than they are.
** The same general idea applies to Pirates, too. Warriors can summon pirates, and both Pirates and Knights have the Summon Mini-U ability, meaning that Pirates are likely connected to Knights, who in turn are Warriors. Of note is the fact that only Knights can have the Summon Mini-U ability, as they do not have a set of Galactic Adventure equipment or a quest and thus other empires cannot have their superpower. Plus, Pirates generally are similar to Warriors, but have less standards than their playable counterparts, who do not wage war for the sake of war or attack those who stand little threat against them.

[[WMG: The creatable/encounterable aliens [[{{Panspermia}} come from the same source]]. The Grox and Steve are exceptions to that.]]
Every alien, despite presumably being spawned from a comet within their same solar system like you/grew on their homeworld, has the same requirements for their T-score. You'd think independent ecosystems could have a bit of variety, but no. Out of universe, this is for gaming purposes. In-universe? Might mean they're all related. The Grox may seem AlwaysChaoticEvil, but they rarely attack beyond trespassers in the galactic center, and while they have high standards for alliances they aren't incapable of doing so. The reason why almost all aliens in Spore have such similar environmental conditions is because they are all descended from a race of {{Precursors}}. Why are the Grox the only different race? [[AbusivePrecursors These precursors removed the competition]]. Steve belongs to this precursor race, and given he speaks English [[HumansAreTheRealMonsters that doesn't speak well to us]]...though maybe the real reason Earth is [=T1=] is simply because we're not one of the precursors or their descendants so we prefer different environments, instead of an AfterTheEnd scenario. The Grox are so hostile to other life because they're descendants of the forces who slaughtered/usurped much of the galaxy, and Steve is in the Galactic Core because they're keeping him prisoner. Part of the precursor's views are NoTranshumanismAllowed, which is why asides from one very limited patch you can't make you creature a true cyborg. Why are the Knight and Wanderer Archetypes not available to [=NPCs=], and the Grox Archetype completely inaccessible? Because the original Knights and Wanderers were exterminated by the AbusivePrecursors and it's only by coincidence and your power as the player that you can recreate them. And the Grox Archetype used to be spread among the Grox's allies, but they were all exterminated and the precursors made sure their descendants wouldn't even conceive of such an archetype.

So, if the universe can be big enough for [[spoiler: two Luigis]], then it could be big enough for two "Earths".

** Counter-Counter-Argument: The Grox are a special case. Anyway the game is very stylized, and just because the game only renders the one space station at the core doesn't change the fact that (sans stylization) they'd be necessary all over the place anyway.

As a general rule of thumb when developing titles under EA: They don't mind what you make or how you make it, as long as it's the next FIFA Ultimate Team.

[[WMG: When Bards mention [[ImAHumanitarian eating other sentient beings]], they are [[JustJokingJustification just joking]].]]
The Bard empires you meet in the game are fond of saying they literally had friends over for dinner and have a habit of greeting you by asking if you're ready to be eaten. However, given there is no indication they every actually act on it and they are explicitly entertainment-oriented archetypes, it seems far more likely the Bards are just indulging in a bit of DeadBabyComedy than actually eating other sentient life forms.

* Counter-Argument: Use Fanatical Frenzy on a Grox colony(for some reason, this won't anger them). If you leave the planet without terraforming it(all Grox colonies are T0 barring rare glitches), the colonies will be destroyed when you re-enter. If you terraform it, the colonists will be unharmed. Since Grox thrive on T0 worlds and die in anything higher, the fact that the fate of the post-Frenzy colonists depending on T-Score syncs with literally any other species points to the colonists actually being replaced with your own species. You could make a similar argument for purchasing and conquering systems, though for them it's easier to believe from the start that the old species left when you took over(especially if the system was taken by force).
