Bleached Landscape
The "Bleached Landscape" event in Stellaris — flavor, choices, and how to trigger it with the event console command.
Bleached Landscape

Leaving the Rift Sphere, we spread out to investigate the surroundings. The soil consists of a number of brittle layers, which disintegrate under pressure. This soil should barely sustain a seedling, let alone a budding ground. The plant life is similarly fragile, crumbling at even the slightest touch. We have observed sprouts jutting from the ground, and the presence of buds on the branches. There are clear signs of life, but our instruments continue to deny it. As the survey continued, we began to detect movement underground. Based on its current trajectory, whatever is coming will breach the surface in less than an hour.
