Junk Ball

The … crew report that what first appeared to our scanners as an asteroid is in fact a gigantic, floating ball of junk. Comprised of the broken remains of various vehicles, rockets and hazardous materials (many of them radioactive), the junk ball seems to be the detritus of an unknown alien nation in the early space age. It would appear this nation was an interstellar litterer, ejecting dangerous industrial waste into orbit rather than disposing of it planetside. Radiometric dating suggests these remains are millions of years old, and have been floating through space from an unknown point of origin for most of that time. Science Officer … notes that some of the materials found on this floating junk heap are quite rare, and could be refined into useful resources.

The command below will trigger the "Junk Ball" event in Stellaris:

When this event fires, you can choose between the following option:

• Waste not, want not.
  • Minor Artifacts Found:
  • +10 Minor Artifacts

Stellaris events fire in chains — one event leads to the next. Here is how Junk Ball (distar.225) connects.
