Stellaris, but Everyone Transmigrated as Grey Tempest

Transmigrate with a bunch of goofy group-chat friends and turn into Grey Goo, only to get dragged off by a keyboard-warrior senior star inspector from the United Fleet and made to save the world as a wage slave? X

Team up with genius shipbuilder Miss Cabot (not really) to cause a ruckus in all sorts of worlds! √

(This is not hard sci-fi. Some elements and settings are rather “magical” or don't follow the laws of real-world physics.)
