First thing I thought was: Unstable Star.
Next thought: Either he was lucky to get that random event, and decided to pretend he's planned it all along, or he changed the rules to make one happen every turn, and reloaded the game until his starting system became unstable.
Then: Or maybe, he's got something else in mind - black hole effect? An AI attack ship? Damage-causing storms?
