Random events

Envoy events have a small chance to trigger every 5 years as long as an Envoy is assigned to improve or harm relations. Each event can happen multiple times per game but no more than once every 15 years. They can also be triggered by the Spark Diplomatic Incident operation.
Offense Taken

Leaked recordings of one of our envoys' private conversations have the [alien empire name] up in arms. In a regrettable moment, "Ambassador" [envoy name] seems to have called [his or her] hosts "disgusting [alien species insult]".
The [alien empire adjective] [alien empire ruler title] expressed dismay, and suggested that keeping someone so demonstrably unfit for the role in place would be "concerning".
Trigger conditions:
|
Mean time to happen:
|
[he or she] shall stay.
Recall [him or her] to [capital name] for retraining.

Insulting Envoy

It appears that a mischievous third party was able to hack into the translation software of the [empire adjective] envoy to [alien empire capital name], [alien empire name], so that instead of uttering magnanimous platitudes, [he or she] began spewing vicious insults that left none unscathed. The malfunction in [his or her] equipment was duly uncovered, but not before [alien ruler title] [alien ruler name] was declared to be a "vile [alien ruler species insult]" - a grave insult which surely calls for a response.
A Salacious Affair

The [empire adjective] diplomatic corps has been shaken by the news emerging from the [targeted empire name]. Our [ambassador] [envoy name], who had been stationed there, has gotten themselves into a serious mess with [targeted empire adjective] law enforcement. They are currently in connection with a salacious affair involving an astonishing range of serious crimes that culminated in a brutal double murder.
As matters stand - and with rumors running wild among the [targeted species plural] - there seems little doubt as to [envoy name]'s guilt. The [targeted empire adjective] authorities have requested that their diplomatic immunity be lifted so that they can face justice for their deeds.
Trigger conditions:

Mean time to happen:
|
Lift the immunity. Recall [him or her] to [capital name] for own protection.

Missteps from an Ambassador

The [envoy species plural] have brought forward a complaint regarding the conduct of our ambassador to the [federation name], [envoy name]. Apparently [his or her] conduct has so offended the local [alien species name] that their authorities have posted a guard for [hir or her] own protection. Exactly what [he or she] did is unclear to us, as we lack [alien species adjective] sensibilities, but there are widespread protests against [him or her] and the "[empire adjective] arrogance" [he or she] supposedly represents.
The [alien empire name] urges us to recall [envoy name] and send a new ambassador in [his or her] place. They hint at diplomatic repercussions should we refuse.
Trigger conditions:

Mean time to happen:
|
[he or she] shall stay.
Recall [him or her] to [capital name] for retraining.

Star-Crossed Lovers

It seems that, instead of performing [his or her] task and representing [empire name] interests our envoy [envoy name] has fallen for the charms of a [alien empire name] diplomat. Fearing the repercussions of this transgression, the pair have eloped to the [third empire name]: a nation whose dangerously liberal constitution permits such unions.
In doing this, [envoy name] has forfeited [his or her] position as our envoy. However, this loss of control over our own envoys has hurt our galactic standing. We must restore our reputation by apprehending the miscreant!
Trigger conditions:
|
Mean time to happen:
|
Let it be; the affair will be forgotten soon enough.
Approach them and appeal to reason. |
A Most Irritating Envoy

The [envoy species adjective] envoy, [envoy name], has been exasperatingly tiresome in [his or her] efforts to represent [envoy species adjective] interests in [capital name]. Right from [his or her] first arrival, [he or she] has shown unremitting hostility towards the [government name], unleashing an almost constant barrage of objections to our policies and actions. So great an irritation has [he or she] been that few would weep to see the back of [him or her], and we have heard whispers that a group of [empire adjective] loyalists are plotting to expedite [his or her] demise.
Allowing this scheme to succeed would certainly be convenient, but allowing foreign dignitaries to be assassinated in our realm might not be the best of looks.
Trigger conditions:
|
Mean time to happen:
|
We will not stoop to such measures. Snuff out the plot! Let us be rid of this troublesome envoy. |
