The Shroud

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

The Shroud

Country eventDLC: Utopia

The Shroud. It is unbelievably strange and unsettling, but also... immediately familiar. Anyone with psionic powers will have seen this place in their dreams, though they likely did not know it at the time. We linger now at the precipice of this realm, not far from the empty void of the Inbetween that serves as the boundary between here and normal space - or what we would call the real world. To venture deeper into the Shroud will require great effort on the part of our telepaths, as well as a large amount of energy. We must not dally... even now, we are being watched.
