A new race might be hard to just throw in there, many years of lore built in already.

Maybe the Jove decide to be like the Angry God type , and want to kill off what they in a way created , by having their tech shared among the 4 empires. They decide no nations should have that much power anymore. Sick of seeing mercenaries mercilessly thrown into combat among each other , they create a new drone , so far in advancement , that no single person or small group could destroy. This drone eats planets , completely consuming them by latching onto the surface and crapping out planet space poop. We must band together in hopes of saving our star systems. Planets may even die!!! ( disbaled , and able to be put back in the rotation and usable again by Eve players somehow? ) Instead of fighting to destroy opponents MCC..there will be a giant drone drilling up future planetary space poop , and we must stop it by capturing key points around it that are protected by AI combat units created by the drone. once all points are captured and held at once for a set time period, we gain access to a point under the drone in which we put a mega bomb that blows his arse to bits and then go home to drink quafe.


lol, I wish....
