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

As we were preparing land for future expansion on …, a large structure seemingly blinked into existence. The structure is emitting highly unstable energy waves causing it to intermittently appear and disappear from view. This explains why it was not present in initial scans of this sector. When visible, unintelligible symbols adorn its sealed exterior, but match no known language in our records. No apparent function can be discerned. The construct has thus far caused no harm but it is obstructing our development efforts.
