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

We have failed. As a consequence of our weakness, the End of the Cycle has not come to glorious fruition. The price we must now pay for this incompetence is upon us. It took everything. In an instant, the … was... gone. Where once there were thriving colonies, there is now only ruin. Where once mighty fleets crossed the void, there is only silence and debris. All devoured by the End. All taken by the Shroud. So it is now that our patron has manifested a massive Shroud entity in space above …. Made immensely powerful by the devoured consciousnesses of our psionics, it now roams the galaxy seeking to finish the task we could not complete.
