Diplomatic events have a small chance to trigger every 5 years as long as an  Official is assigned to a Federation or the Galactic Community. 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.

### Scandalous Insult

*We have caught a delegate from the [alien empire name] in a rare blunder, letting slip their empire's true feelings about us to another, anonymous party. More than the usual political mud-slinging: these amount to an **outright insult**, as it appears we are the subjects of fierce ridicule amongst [alien empire adjective] society.

Whether or not we pay any mind to this baseless slander: diplomacy and pride would demand that we stand our ground.*

**This is an outrage!*** **−60**  Opinion with another empire

 **We are above such antics. Ignore them.*** Influence:  **−10**

 **They are not worthy of our scorn.*** Influence:  **−10**

### Substance Abuse

*Our ambassador corps has for some time been concerned at the performance of [official name], one of our officials to the [Galactic Community or federation name]. Now, evidence has come to light that [he or she] appears to have fallen prey to an alien substance from the [alien alien name] that has proven extremely addictive to [main species plural].

Although the trade in this substance is highly illegal among the [alien species plural], a lucrative black market run by cutthroat drug lords has sprung up. These drug lords, who apparently managed to introduce it to [him or her] as a potent aphrodisiac, now exert a considerable degree of influence over [official name], who is forced to do their bidding in return for satisfying [his or her] cravings.*

### Astute Galactic Diplomacy

*Although we are not able to count ourselves among the true superpowers of this galaxy, we have often been able to punch above our weight in galactic affairs. This is largely down to the exertions of our official [official name], who ably represents our interests in the Galactic Community and commands deep respect even among those stridently opposed to all the [empire name] stands for. As a result, even though not everyone may fear the might of our navy or long to match the depths of our coffers, they nevertheless admire the prowess of our diplomatic corps.*

### Lobbyists

*A cacophony of voices may be heard in the Galactic Community - not all of them friendly, and certainly not all of them aligning with [empire adjective] interests. Unfortunately, it seems that Ambassador [official name] has been listening to the wrong voices. Eyebrows were raised when [he or she] attended several conferences hosted by the **[faction name]**. Now it has emerged that a large sum of credits traceable to that organization were transferred to [him or her].

[official name]'s colleagues demand that [he or she] be recalled, citing trust issues. However, some of our more devious advisors suggest that we could strike a deal to keep [him or her] in place in return for a share of the pot.*

* Not  Gestalt Consciousness

### A Contribution to Galactic Comedy

File:Evt galactic community.png
*[official name], our official representing our interests in the Galactic Community, has committed a major faux pas, mistaking the [council member empire adjective] delegate for a [inferior empire species name]. Unfortunately, the incriminating remarks were witnessed by many onlookers, who duly showered [official name] with ridicule. Many now cast aspersions on the competence of our diplomatic corps, although our contribution to galactic comedy cannot be doubted.*

* Galactic Council was created

### Disputes Among Allies

*The recent law changes in the [federation name] caused a significant stir, with old ideological debates between ourselves and the [opposing ethics empire name] once again rising to the fore. Our representative, [official name], was able to persuade many of the benefits of a more [empire ethic] outlook, highlighting the cowardice and naivety inherent in the beliefs of the [opposing ethics empire name] official, [opposing ethics empire official name]. Fortunately, the [opposing ethics empire main species] took this in good grace, recognizing the need for compromise in the interest of a more harmonious relationship with their alliance partners.*

* Another Federation member has opposing ethics
* Not  Gestalt Consciousness

**Through our words shall we persuade.*** Influence Gained:  25

### A Strange Creature

File:Evt galactic community.png
*[official name], our official to the Galactic Community, has been spending a disturbing amount of time tending to a strange, small mammalian creature that began following [him or her] around. Presumably a domestic pet that escaped from one of the other delegations, it is undeniably cute but shows no sign of sapient thought. Although it is highly carnivorous and exhibits sharp teeth and claws, it is generally affectionate and desires plentiful physical contact in the form of petting - though its mood swings can be sudden and violent!

Although the creature has proved a distraction for [official name]'s more serious tasks, other delegates have commented on the endearing nature of the softer, more sentimental side of the [main species name] psyche that has been revealed.*

* Main species does not use the human portrait
