In-depth description

The casusbelli command in Stellaris is one that adds a Casus Belli against a specific enemy or target empire.

Casus Belli is a Latin term that means cause for war. In terms of Stellaris gameplay, a Casus Belli is a specific reason that your empire can declare war against another empire.

Once you've added a Casus Belli against a specific empire, you are then able to initiate a war against them without any diplomatic penalties that you would normally incur for unjust wars.

This command can be especially useful and strategic when you are planning to expand your empire's territory and resources.
