Mass Extinction: Barren
The "Mass Extinction: Barren" event in Stellaris — flavor, choices, and how to trigger it with the event console command.
Mass Extinction: Barren

Life on the now-barren planet was doomed from the start. The dominant species barely had time to awaken to sapience and invent agriculture before geological mechanisms caused the earth to sour. Samples from lower soil strata and fossilized remains show that vital minerals needed to rejuvenate the soil ended up in the endoskeletons of the native beings. Their bones fossilized instead of decaying, and their existence exhausted the fragile ecosystem, leaving it permanently transformed.
