Riches Beyond Measure
The "Riches Beyond Measure" event in Stellaris — flavor, choices, and how to trigger it with the event console command.
Riches Beyond Measure

Captain Ness's Hoard contains an incredible bounty of wealth. We must however consider the consequences of claiming it in our name. Every credit of her treasure was earned illegally. Taking these resources would represent a tolerance of Captain Ness's excessive criminality in exchange for material wealth. That said, many of those wronged by Captain Ness are long gone. Claiming this wealth would create no new victims. Furthermore, we have decimated the Black Needle and thus made the galaxy a safer place. Having traveled this long path fraught with danger, we arguably deserve a sizable reward for our efforts. We must make a decision on what to do with its contents.
