Repeated intro

Greetings Lords of Rigel! Release 1.19 includes a community requested feature, chaos mode and a community requested new beam weapon technology that can be unlocked by defeating Von Neumann space monster types.

This means that even homeworld threatening events and grand menaces can trigger early in your games for maximum chaos.
