Infestation

We were wrong. The station orbiting … is not uninhabited; instead, it is crawling with giant alien arthropoids! The probes we deployed into the station only returned skittering shadows and large mandibles before signal was lost. Deep scans of the station have also revealed what we postulate to be an incredibly complex databank. To reach this databank, we would have to go through that cluster of many-legged defenders.

The command below will trigger the "Infestation" event in Stellaris:

When this event fires, you can choose between these 5 options:

• Send an away party, giant alien arthropoids are no joke!
• It's probably for the best that we leave them alone.
  • +50 Influence
• Attempt to contact our fellow arthropoids.
• Vent them out.
  Available only if Requires technology: Orbital Habitats.
  • Use our advance knowledge of habitats to breach the station's atmosphere.
• Aquire their genomes!
  Available only if Requires origin: Evolutionary Predators.

Stellaris events fire in chains — one event leads to the next. Here is how Infestation (anomaly.6810) connects.
