What does get added when you enable each Story Event(Original, Shakturi, Shadows)?

I've been searching around and I dunno how these affects a game

*SPOILERS*

From what I can tell, shadows adds all the pre-warp storyline events such as building several key stations, your first ship, encountering pirates, encountering traders, getting warp bubble tech, getting colonization tech, etc. I'm not sure how the game would run if you turned this off, maybe some of these things will happen regardless of storyline being enabled?

Shakturi adds many of what I consider the main story events. Most of those messages you get in secret ruins about the shakturi, as well as the message from the mechanoids to watch out for the destroyers. There's probably more but I haven't played far enough to get into the shakturi campaign.

Original, no idea.

I can verify that the pre-warp storylines happen if you select pre-warp start rather than the shadow storyline as I've had quite a few starts with all storylines off but starting pre-warp (in a classic galaxy not shadows mode) and had those events.

I didn't start to play DW until Legends but from what I understand the original storyline adds in the huge debris fields and planet killer ships, Shakturi adds in the Shakturi and messages relating to them. One of those two will also add the Mechanoids, but not sure which (and don't really care enough to test). At this point I have no idea what the Shadows storyline adds as I haven't been playing with it on. I'm also not sure if the unique tech/govt ruins only appear with a storyline on, I don't think they are linked to a storyline, but couldn't say 100%.

---SPOILER---

I managed to play through the Shakturi storyline last night, sometime during the game you'll encounter a race of refugees from another galaxy, later the ancient guardians will contact you, asking you to join an alliance with them, the refugees will reveal themselves as the Shakturi and will begin to crusade about the place. Taking their homeworld causes them to flee and you winning the game.
