===Guardians of the Galaxy ===
When an endgame Crisis occurs a Fallen Empire can awaken after 5 years with the declared goal of ending said Crisis. If one of them has already awakened before the Crisis, they will stop their vassalization plans and attempt to rally the galaxy as well.  Guardians of the Galaxy will always agree to form or join a Federation no matter what opinion they held before the awakening. Once the Crisis has been defeated the Guardian empire will leave the current Federation and become a regular empire. The chances for a Guardian Awakening are the following:
*60% chance either the Enigmatic Observers or the Keepers of Knowledge awaken.
*15% chance both Fallen Empires awaken. If only one of them is present it will awaken alone.
*25% chance neither Fallen Empire awakens.

Once awakened, the Guardian empire goes through the full awakening effects, and all empires will be notified. All AI empires will get one of the following Opinion bonuses towards the Awakened Empire (equal chances):
*{{iconify|Opinion||+100|green}}
*{{iconify|Opinion||+50|green}}
*No modifier

Only the Enigmatic Observers, Keepers of Knowledge, and Ancient Caretakers can become Guardians. The Holy Guardians or the Militant Isolationists will never awaken as guardians and should they have awakened before the crisis, they will continue with their domination plan instead.

Guardian awakenings do not roll for Ancient Rival. In addition, if a crisis occurs during a War in Heaven, neither Awakened Empire will become Guardians.

The Ancient Caretakers will not awaken as Guardians if the ''Prethoryn Scourge'' or ''Extradimensional Invaders'' crisis occurs. However they are guaranteed to awaken if the ''Contingency'' crisis occurs and will in that case activate right after the sterilization hubs come online. This happens independently from the Guardian awakening mechanics, making it possible for up to three Fallen Empires to awaken.
