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

We have arrived on a planet battered by fierce, high-velocity winds. The surface is nearly bare, with its cliffs and boulders weathered smooth by the elements. The skies above are dark with thunderous clouds and plumes of bright gas erupt violently as lightning strikes the ground around us. We should soon seek shelter from the gathering storm. Meteorological sensors indicate gentler air currents in the higher stratosphere where we could avoid the dangerous electrical discharges. Alternatively, there is a large cavern nearby that could provide refuge.
