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

The proto hive that we have been observing on … has taken a significant step in its evolution. Over most of the …, small groups of individuals had started to organize in small-scale hives, but, while not fully autonomous, these drones were so far lacking the cohesion and coordination of a fully realized collective. This has changed in the northern reaches of the …, where an individual appears to be the nexus for a singularity that is subjugating the nearby drones. This 'Drone-Prime' is currently traveling the planet, and sending the subjugated drones to gather in a settlement of massive proportions given the low technological level of the world. There, the drones seem to be focused on building houses, silos, and expanding their food production as much as possible to accommodate the newcomers. Gone is the autonomy, for them, there is only the collective now.
