In-depth description
The war command in Stellaris is used to initiate a conflict between two in-game countries or empires. This command requires you to specify two empire IDs and the war goal as arguments.
The war command is useful when you would like to change the balance of power in the game, particularly if a certain empire is growing too powerful, or you want to impose a specific ideology on another empire.
It provides a way to directly influence the game's interstellar politics without having to wait for in-game events to occur.
