In-depth description
The communications command in Stellaris is used to instantly establish communication with all the empires in the game.
Normally in Stellaris, communication with another empire is established over time with first contact protocols, during which you learn about their species, government, etc.
Once these protocols are completed, you can engage in diplomatic relations or conflicts.
However, by using the communications command, you bypass this process and immediately gain insight into every empire's location and government type.
This can save significant amounts of time and allow you to plan your strategy more effectively.
You can use this command to instantly find potential allies or identify threats. Be aware though, that using this command also instantaneously unveils your location and information to all the other empires which might alter their stance towards you in return, possibly negatively.
