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

A breakthrough has just been made by our robotic engineering and artificial intelligence specialists! An extremely thorough purging routine has been constructed and is now ready to be deployed to all systems within an hour. It should put an end to the recent slew of AI-related incidents afflicting our nation. We should be careful to note that due to the extremely destructive nature of this algorithm, many of our existing Research tools will be unusable until rebuilt from scratch. However, this approach should prevent any repeated occurrences of undesirable, self-deterministic AI behavior.
The command below will trigger the "System Wipe" event in Stellaris:
