Galactic Caretaker

A planet in your solar system has given rise to new sentient life, the catalyst to your slow reawakening. Last time you witnessed all life advance far too swiftly. Prematurely. Carelessly. Selfishly. Malevolently. Catastrophically! You must not allow this to happen again. As a Galactic Caretaker, you must guide the survival of civilisations under your watch. Ensure their Technological Advancement does not exceed their Social Maturity, so when they journey to the greater reaches of space, they don’t mess up the place. Direct asteroids into planets to slow population and advancement growth. Disable technology by summoning solar flares, or rain down meteor showers and comets upon a helpless population, who just can't seem to get along. But don’t get too carried away, or you may cause the armageddon you're trying to prevent. Watch as your first species develops space flight, interplanetary exploration, and a means for defence from their concealed enemy, our protagonist (that’s you). Then take on guardianship of new colonies as they are established.. Grow your ‘nursery’ and watch as they thrive….or fall. Unlock new skills and guide the universe to a better tomorrow… today…. well, soonish.
