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

Our attempt to control the infestation of desertlings has been rendered futile. The voracious creatures have already burrowed deep, expanding their large colonies faster than we can exterminate them. The battle is lost unless we allow our military to use their vast arsenal of explosives and noxious gasses, a course of action which would risk the well-being of everyone on the surface.
