Project Blacklight

Project Blacklight adds a controlled, self contained story chain to Stellaris that takes place entirely inside your own empire.

Something appears inside your borders.
It is already stable. Already consistent. Already answering before you ask.

Project Blacklight is a story focused situation chain with escalating pressure, followed by a final excavation and a unique relic.
Everything happens inside your own empire. No outside factions. No galaxy wide effects.

• One time black hole system spawn inside your empire (not at game start)
• Country situation: Project Blacklight
  Staged events and multiple approaches.
• Risk system with consequences
  Risk slows situation progress and triggers escalating negative modifiers.
  At high pressure, critical incidents can occur, including scientist losses.
• Story world progression
  Completing the investigation unlocks the story world for colonization and prepares it, including a Gaia transformation.
• Planet situation: Echoes of Novus Eden
  Colony focused horror escalation with risk thresholds and multiple outcomes.
• Post crisis archaeology site on Novus Eden
  Four chapter dig with major Minor Artifact rewards.
• Final reward: a unique relic
