Devastation

The carnage was absolute. Our ancestral fleets stood no chance against the invaders. Their weapons are terrible, and their mercy is none. Few bastions of safety now remain. The people are panicking and begging to flee back with us back through the rift. One prominent noble has asked us privately to ensure … survival and offers a large amount of energy credits in return. Caretakers of the empire's most comprehensive library of knowledge plead for us to instead take back their vast collection of books and data disks for preservation. We must make a choice, for the invaders come to this place in due time.

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

When this event fires, you can choose between these 4 options:

• Take as many back as we can.
• Accept the noble's offer.
  • Grants an Official leader.
• Preserve the library.
• Claim their knowledge.

Stellaris events fire in chains — one event leads to the next. Here is how Devastation (astral_rift.30) connects.
