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

After extensive repairs the platform has been brought online and the star is now hurling massive amounts of energy into the cosmos. But the journey there has not been without its hurdles. When the giant microwave beams were first activated, the engineers nearly set off a chain reaction that could have ended in a solar eruption so massive it would have blasted the platform and all system planets out of existence. As it turns out, the ancient alien blueprints and manuals were riddled with miscalculations so severe that the platform would have been inoperable. Luckily the mistakes were caught in time, the strength of the beams has since been calibrated, and the solar wind outflow has been stabilized.
