The Gun Pointed at the Head of the Universe

Leading scientists across all conceivable fields have at last finalized their proposals for the Planet-Killer-class weapon that will arm our first Colossus-type ships. We may select one proposal to develop alongside the final stages of the Colossus Project.

The command below will trigger the "The Gun Pointed at the Head of the Universe" event in Stellaris:

When this event fires, you can choose between these 7 options:

• World Cracker
  • Planet-Killer Weapon: A directed feed of thermic energy superheats the atmosphere and agitates the planet's core, setting up disastrous tectonic events. A final and comparatively minute concussive blast is then delivered, cracking the planet open.
• Global Pacifier
  • Planet-Killer Weapon: A shielding field is deployed around a planet, creating a barrier that is permanent and impenetrable (save for some wavelengths of light).
• Neutron Sweep
  • Planet-Killer Weapon: An accelerated plume of neutron radiation "paints" the planet surface, severely degrading most materials and directly destroying biological tissue.
• Divine Enforcer
  • Planet-Killer Weapon: A psionic projector shines divine truth upon the world to make true believers out of all who are capable of belief, and annihilating those who are not.
• Nanobot Diffuser
  Available only if Requires civic: Driven Assimilator.
  • Planet-Killer Weapon: Swarms of nanobots are dispersed in the atmosphere. They infect sapient beings and restructure themselves into cybernetic implants, turning their unwitting hosts into cyborgs slaved to the Machine Intelligence.
• Devolving Beam
  Available only if Requires technology: Devolving Beam.
  • Planet-Killer Weapon: A colossal mind-wiping cannon which unleashes a planet-wide wave of energy, returning most sentient life to a pre-sapient state. We estimate that with additional tuning, it might also be used to wipe clean memory banks and disable robotic units.
• Planet Smelter
  • Planet-Killer Weapon: Focusing a searing energy beam into the planet's mantle, the Smelter destabilizes its core, triggering tectonic chaos and rendering the surface violently unstable.
