Captain Ness's Treasure
The "Captain Ness's Treasure" event in Stellaris — flavor, choices, and how to trigger it with the event console command.
Captain Ness's Treasure

The Celestial Chart was a key, and the vault was its lock. We inserted it into the main hatch of the megastructure. The chart activated, internally tracing a singular beam of light to each star along our journey. Ancient machinery groaned to life, and we were soon inside. Incredible treasures looted from a thousand worlds line the floor and walls in abundance. Delicate statues are juxtaposed against assault weapons forged in precious metals. Fine jewelry hangs from the extremities of antique fossils and complex devices are piled up in an orderless heap. Metallic footsteps ring out from the central walkway. Arms raised in surrender, a fluid-filled humanoid machine approaches us. Its voice circuits crackle into activation: "So... you found my chart after all. Aren't you clever?"
