      They formed an empire in this region of the supercluster and offer the decimated other species, including humans, roles as cloned servitors

      There are also several godlike/Cthulhu like entities in the cluster, mostly created as desperate attempts to survive the collision

      So humans have to decide if they're happy being clone servants to the one species that has a real population, or if they want t take chances

      Anyway, what IS the minimum number of surviving humans to plausibly repopulate?

      Only 150 people? I thought it would have to be in the thousands at least?

      It's reasonable to 1 want a buffer 2 have a society that believes the number higher 3 have another reason a higher buffer number preferred

      The main issue is managing genetic diseases over deep time -- smaller the starting number the harder it is

      This is why IRL there's projects among communities like Ashkenazi Jews to have v detailed records to track diseases like Tay-Sachs

      Btw for this reason the 50/500 rule assumes a maximally diverse starting population

      The more consanguinity within the population -- i.e. families etc -- the bigger it needs to be obviously

          50 is big enough so that it's unlikely any one genetic disease can take over a whole generation if you're careful

          500 is big enough that, over time, genetic diseases can be bred out of the population w/o sacrificing diversity
