Beware, doing this will wipe out everything in the system! If there are any anomalies or precursor planets in a system you choose, they'll be lost forever. Save before doing this. Enter debugtooltip into the console to view more info when mousing over planets to check for special planet flags.

If you have any systems with a black hole in your territory that only contain things you're fine with permanently losing:
1. Click on your country's flag in the top left part of the screen (the flag directly left of your energy production, and above the situation log's button) to open the empire overview.
2. Make sure the overview window is still open, then enter this into the console: effect country_event = { id = shadowgate_galactic.625 }
3. Select the black hole you wish to convert in the menu that pops up.
4. If you want to remove the relic cooldown, redo step 1 and enter this into the console: effect remove_modifier = relic_activation_cooldown

If you DON'T have any systems with a black hole in your territory, or you don't want to convert an existing black hole into a remnant:
1. Find a system you own with only a single star and as few planetary bodies as possible. This includes asteroids, moons, or any kind of celestial body you can select.
2. Go to every selectable celestial body/planet in the system that isn't its star, click on it and enter this into the console: effect remove_planet = yes
3. Click on the star, make sure it's still selected and enter this into the console: effect change_pc = pc_black_hole solar_system = { set_star_class = sc_black_hole }
4. You now have a black hole system in your territory. Proceed from step 1 in the instructions at the top of this page.

Enjoy!
