Ecologist

"Ecologists are the protectors of nature. Species that attempt to exploit and corrupt the galaxy must be exterminated."

- In-game description

Ecologist Unique Power
The Ecologist acquires the Safari Vacuum unique ability. Safari Vacuum can be used to instantly abduct 2 of each species from a planet. This makes it easy to get Zoologist 5.

Through Evolution
The Ecologist Archetype is awarded to species that gain every card, plus an additional green.

Note that you may not fill out 50 ecosystems and then automatically complete the mission upon its acceptance. You must accept and pay for the mission first, THEN fill out 50 ecosystems. Using the Species Eradicator to create an incomplete ecosystem and then refilling it DOES count to the 50 ecosystems you have to fill. Filling 50 ecosystems means completing a T3 food level 50 times, NOT raising the T-Score 50 times.

Ecologist's Philosophy
We, the (Ecologist) Empire, believe in the Scrolls of Life. We believe that you are us and we are you and that together we are one! Man, we are one with plants and animals, stars in the heavens, clouds in the atmosphere! We even have a safari vacuum that we use to abduct plants and animals so that they can join us in the circle of life."

It is to be noted that although the card describes Ecologists as scary dogmatic aliens perfectly willing to commit genocide, this is not how the computer plays them.

Voice
When encountered, Ecologists speak with a quacky, squeaky voice. It might sound like a low trumpet voice, and when doing something to make them happy, they will laugh in a weird buzzy sound that first might make you think that they are angry at you but then they start laughing.

Galactic Adventure Campaign
The Ecologist campaign adventure is It Came from the Sky, where the player has to investigate a spaceship crash.
