A Voice from the Past

The "A Voice from the Past" event in Stellaris — flavor, choices, and how to trigger it with the event console command.

A Voice from the Past

Country event

The Hyacinth's long-range receivers have intercepted a broadcast on Ulysses Initiative emergency frequencies. The signal is old - at least a century - but the message is clear. The Chrysanthemum, the fifth Ulysses Initiative arkship, survived the scattering. The colonists found a world. They named it Unity. The broadcast repeats: "Chrysanthemum colony to all Ulysses Initiative vessels. We have made landfall on a habitable world. The planet is beautiful. We are building something here. Come home." The signal's origin cannot be determined from here, but the relay buoys used to carry it should be traceable. A survey of nearby systems may locate one.

The command below will trigger the "A Voice from the Past" event in Stellaris:
