A Request for Aid
The "A Request for Aid" event in Stellaris — flavor, choices, and how to trigger it with the event console command.
A Request for Aid

"We make preparations for a coming battle. Regrettably, your expedition may be much more dangerous than previously assessed." The plantoid continued, "We are the Baol, and you have landed on one of our outer colonies. We are under siege, and our resources dwindle. Diplomacy is fruitless. The aggressors mock us openly, and laugh at our attempts to communicate. They identify themselves as the Grunur." "We believe their aim is not to conquer this world, but to destroy it. It seems they know no mercy. We would graciously accept any assistance you can provide."
