[Old Man Mordaith] Hungry Carnivorous Plants in Stellaris Part 01

My latest Stellaris let's play. The goal was to create a race of hostile militant flesh eating plants. A poor starting area, terrible neighbors, and a few bad choices put us in a horrible position and make this one of the worst games of Stellaris I've played so far.

But space gods be damned - I'm going to see it through. As usual - all comments, advice, and general sympathetic ridicule are welcome!
