The next Stellaris expansion will let your space empires harness 'the majesty and menace' of new cosmic storms, which I'm sure can only go well

If a lifetime consuming too much science fiction has taught me anything, it's that the endpoint of any proper galactic civilization consists mostly of meddling with forces that it absolutely shouldn't be meddling with. To that end, the next Stellaris mechanical expansion, Cosmic Storms, is adding eight new types of galaxy-scale storms for your interstellar empire to try to bend to its will. I can't foresee any issues.

Replacing Stellaris's current Space Storms, the expansion adds eight new varieties of Cosmic Storms that can spawn randomly on the galactic map and roam across space: Electric, particle, gravity, magnetic, radiant, stardust, shroud, and nexus. Electric, particle, and stardust storms I can imagine pretty easily. "Radiant storms" and "gravity storms," however, sound like the last possible things I'd want to roll across my star systems.
