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

There is a new development. A new series of walls have appeared directly in front of us. We are maintaining a safe distance lest one of these objects materialize straight through our Rift Sphere. Perhaps by sampling their material we may further understand the current situation. Alternatively, we can take some time to map out the shapes of these walls and detect if there is any kind of pattern.
The command below will trigger the "A New Development" event in Stellaris:
