Shearing Force

We have identified the cause of our probes' disappearance on …. The various gaseous strata that make up the planet's atmosphere exhibit dramatic temperature differentials. These drastic variations create a sharp countercurrent as layers of gas move violently in opposing directions. This, combined with the contrasting densities of each gas, fosters cataclysmic shearing forces that tear apart anything transitioning between the atmospheric layers. Now that we know what to expect, our own equipment can be modified to endure these extreme conditions, letting us harness the kinetic force of this natural phenomenon.

The command below will trigger the "Shearing Force" event in Stellaris:
