The Scavenger
The "The Scavenger" event in Stellaris — flavor, choices, and how to trigger it with the event console command.
The Scavenger
The … system is a sprawling graveyard of mechanical debris. The wreckage of untold numbers of derelict ships circle its star. Swathes of fuel and liquid coolant cloud our sensors like ghosts, and creaking station remnants collide with the shattered carcasses of planets on their path around the sun. An incredible construct stirs in the heart of this graveyard. It appears to be a gigantic machine - a robotic automaton larger than our greatest battleships, jury-rigged from the scraps and pieces of a thousand shipwrecks. The … reports that this scavenging robot sifts through the debris fields with a fixed purpose, scrounging for useful parts to add to its patchwork configuration. It is clear a battle of astronomical proportions once took place here, though whether the Scavenger is its sole survivor, or a scrap hunter from some distant nation remains unknown. We should exercise caution, as the construct bears heavy artillery from dozens of warships.
