Flagship Escort

We entered orbit around the Gaia planet and were immediately confronted by patrolling warships. Our attempts at communication were met with silence. A patrol escorted us to their flagship, a heavily outfitted Juggernaut surrounded by dozens of support vessels. Landing our Rift Sphere in a large hangar, we were immediately taken into custody by a squad of soldiers. Their armored carapaces and jagged pincers recalled several known species of crustacean. Marching forward in perfect lock-step, they presented an intimidating image, but the beady eyes protruding from their armored heads were alert and intelligent. We recognized the species as the Grunur, a highly aggressive race that lived in our universe hundreds thousands of years ago. Famously, this species was responsible for the genocide of the plantoid hive mind known as the Baol. We hypothesize that this rift has deposited us in a parallel universe in which the Grunur remain militarily active.

The command below will trigger the "Flagship Escort" event in Stellaris:

When this event fires, you can choose between these 2 options:

• The Grunur are dangerous. Be cautious.
  • Leads to event: A Unique Conversation

Stellaris events fire in chains — one event leads to the next. Here is how Flagship Escort (astral_rift.3050) connects.
