A Spark Of Crisis
The "A Spark Of Crisis" event in Stellaris — flavor, choices, and how to trigger it with the event console command.
A Spark Of Crisis

Ongoing study of the subspace mining station suggests that it stores massive amounts of thermal energy in an exotic form, which our … are calling Crystallized Entropy. It leverages thermal feedback loops to magnify energy inputs. By replicating this technology, we could learn to wield previously unimaginable power that many would deem unnatural and dangerous. Doing so may produce vast amounts of excess heat, but if we are able to find a way to thrive in such conditions, the galaxy may be ours for the taking.
The command below will trigger the "A Spark Of Crisis" event in Stellaris:
