The following triggers (just throwing a bunch out there) could have some random narrative events associated with them (in the same vein as "Call a Spaceman a Spaceman" or similar):


  • Winning an "outpost race" in a system against another player, especially since you get to keep their claimed planet as colonized
  • A (perhaps competitive) quest when a system becomes hunting grounds from Vodyani invasion/hunting grounds from celestial vine breaking/"TBD hunting ground" from pirates/privateers
  • Conquering a system
    • Maybe even special subdivisions of this based on A) outright invasion, B) pacific conversion, C) a truce trade
  • Conquering someone else's home system
  • Re-capturing your own system
  • Re-capturing your home system
  • Colonizing a system that was once vacated or left to deteriorate as hunting grounds
  • A system has changed possession numerous times
