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

Despite the limited expressions available in her robotic form, the machine known as Captain Ness regards us with a certain smugness. Her metallic body shows no sign of wear and tear, as if only recently assembled. Her tone is patient yet patronizing, as if addressing one below her status. I suppose some introduction is in order, though you may already have guessed who I am. The name's Saanda Ness, or at least it was. Former "Pirate Queen of the Galaxy" and current occupant of this cold pile of bolts. The machine pauses for a moment, taking in our forms. It's been a long time since I last saw your species. Looks like you primitives are all grown up! I must say, I'm quite impressed you've made it here.
