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

Based on sedimentary analysis of …, we have discovered that this once volcanic world experienced a sudden flash freezing event, turning its surface lava into a sheen of volcanic glass. The many impact craters on the planet's surface suggest this was most likely caused by an external celestial impact, such as a meteor storm. Contained within these obsidian formations are large bubbles of trapped sulfuric gasses from the volcanic vents now sealed by the flash freeze. With precise extraction, we will be able to harvest these resources for our own needs.
