Thermal Driven Outflow
The "Thermal Driven Outflow" event in Stellaris — flavor, choices, and how to trigger it with the event console command.
Thermal Driven Outflow

Closer inspection of the platform orbiting … has revealed that it is of a complex, somewhat erratic, alien design. The waterproofed machinery and advanced climate control suggest it was built for a lifeform that secreted a rich amount of fluids, very likely of the molluscoid variety. Before falling into disrepair, microwave beams were used to heat regions of the star's atmosphere, provoking large sustained eruptions that increased the solar wind outflow significantly. The energy was then harvested with an orbital mine. The platform is designed around some highly experimental concepts.
