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

Our … have finished investigating the reports of extraordinary, free-floating crystal-like objects observed in the … system. Their findings are startling. The ship-size objects and their slightly smaller but equally crystal-like satellites at first appeared inert, but sudden shifts in their orientation relative to our ships and new energy signatures emerging from within the prisms indicate that they might be alive - a fascinating prospect to be sure, but they should be approached with caution. Our best and brightest are standing by to study these entities.
