Some of the lore in Gigas, namely the Ezicanians, Symbies, Zousanians and the Atom Shredder, was essentially a semi-bastardized version of old lore made by _Rose (in #lore-credits). I have thus undertaken several lore tweaks aiming to properly separate Gigas' lore from _Rose's own work, since by now the two lores are completely different, only having a few names in common. These tweaks don't actually change the gameplay aside from a few minor differences.

- Ezicanias changed to Zuspris, appearance changed to another Reptilian portrait. Flag is still the same though since it was a mostly arbitrary design. They still play the role of the "Katzens' unfortunate anprim neighbors", though.
- Ezicanian Order changed to Zuspri Vanguard.
- Ezic Empire changed to Zuspri Intermarium.
- Ezikanien resistance region changed to Zuspristaat.
- Louf Cereless Hornsfelt changed to Tyukl Kaau.
- Arctic/Dark Forest Ezicania difference removed, they are now just the same species across both Katzenland and Flusion. The Katzenland kind (as found in the Katzen FEs) is however cybernetic to represent Meopa putting implants on them to make them more compliant with Katzen society.
- Jeimza changed to Ghuqwy, is now cybernetic for the aforementioned reason.
- Their great migration is kept, but Tropiana (the planet the Ezics migrate to) is changed to Zahun, in the Hutyukl system (still a black hole).
- Removed them mutating after trying to attack Flusion with the Psionic Beacon.
- Removed Zweiblio (for the time being) and the Ezicversity achievement.
- Zousa changed to Linteria, Zousanians changed to Linterians.
- Dimora (Former Zousanian queen) changed to Voimakas.
- Symbies (mentioned in a resistance region) changed to Wacegi, Symbyland changed to Wacegien.
- Atom Shredder renamed to the Unraveling, made it clearer that it wasn't really an entity or a phenomenon but a weird uncomprehensible mix of both somehow.
- Removed Douclaw mentioning Lyuinites on Flusion.
- Renamed Cookians to Galletians.
- Aiondia's population and size now match the data on the Wiki.

Gigastructural Engineering & More Version 3.27.3 Hotfix 2:
- Use the new land_army = yes effect added by vanilla to prevent event armies from spawning in orbit
No more undefended Flusion or Paluushia.

Gigastructural Engineering & More Version 3.27.3:

Elysium housing districts now provide science director jobs for technocratic empires.
Elysium research districts now provide 3 researcher jobs instead of 2 science directors for normal empires.

There are no Light or Theta tier buildings because really those are just silly already, stop being silly.
