Ideas

Artifact Accident (++applications, +dust, -morale)

After the incident at Ebon Plateau and the subsequent silencing of the scientists by your marines, the population never quite trusted the government as much. On the other hand, the discoveries made were pretty impressive, and you didn't even get invaded by transdimensional aliens. A win in your book.

Homo Superior (++Transgene, +Military, -morale)

Some on the Rim really, really pushed nascent genetic technology to its limits creating truly freakish beings of various design. To compensate for their relatively less sophisticated exowomb technology and smaller R&D base, shortcuts were often taken which ended in various undesirable side effects ranging from common and severe physical birth defects to severe mental disorders. Such actions often led to brutal military crackdowns of protests and difficulties with societal integration.

Non-Perpetuating Aristocracy of Talent (+Military, +Morale, +PIP, -Transgene)

According to Strauss-Kaserism, transgenic enhancement will create a self-perpetuating aristocracy of talent that would last forever. Well, you showed them, didn't you?

Drone farming (+applications, +PIP)

If you grind the drone hive enough eventually you might get something really cool!

Massive Scandal (+military, +doctrines, +PIP -pop or -morale)

Oh my God, how can this happen? Wed better make sure this can never happen again.

Garden of Eden (+morale, +wealth, +pop, -PIP)

"Let's make paradise out of limbo." Terraforming is all the rage, as your nation strives to make your beautiful world even better (or, conversely, your nightmarish world a slightly better dream). Conservation, however, hampers your processing industries.
