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

A small, self-propelled cache just entered the edges of our home system, loudly announcing its arrival with a signal beacon. Once retrieved, the cache revealed its grim contents: a lengthy list detailing all the military assets we destroyed during the war against our invaders, complete with crew casualties and the estimated value of each destroyed vessel. Our former invaders are officially demanding war reparations. This despite the fact that they are the ones who invaded us. Even more outrageously, they also claim that all the destroyed ships in our system are still their property, and any attempt to destroy, refit or retro-engineer the wreckage will put us in breach of terms and conditions. A debt collection agency will soon contact us to settle the matter.
