In-depth description
The control command in Stellaris is used to change the ownership of a planet in the game.
It essentially enables you to take control of any given planet by specifying its planet id. Upon entering the command followed by the ID of the planet, you become the new owner of the planet instantly.
Bear in mind that if there is an ongoing war with the original owner of the planet, the control will revert back to them instantaneously.
This happens because you technically don't have the rights or ability to take over a planet when you are at war with its original owner.
This command can be particularly useful when you want to test out owning different planets without having to go through the standard in-game process.
It can also aid in speeding up gameplay if you are focusing on other aspects of the game.
