Country eventDLC: Grand Archive

We have discovered a spaceborne organism that shelters inside of asteroids. Known to us as "Cutholoids", these creatures are ambush predators that are capable of lying in wait for several years to capture their prey. Capable of engulfing entire ships, we should be very careful when approaching unsurveyed asteroid belts as they are found to be extremely dangerous. The good news is that they appear to be quite rare, and their asexual reproductive processes can take hundreds of years.

The command below will trigger the "Cutholoids" event in Stellaris:
