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

A capsule was successfully extracted from the drifting planetary debris alongside a quantity of minerals. Upon opening it, we discovered a new piece of the Celestial Chart and a selection of unique cultural artifacts. Additionally, a note was found inside, written in multiple languages to allow for easier translation. "This is all that remains of Soropegma, the Ytterite homeworld. The Ytterite were a Pre-FTL species rendered extinct as a result of a tragic accident. Unaware of the impending consequences, we accidentally triggered the destructive power of a stolen Colossus. Please preserve and respect their memory."
