Assassinations?

[MythsMind]

Hello I'm new! I just wanted to ask if assassinations are a thing in Stellaris? I tried to find out using search but didn't have much luck.

Short answer: Yes.
You can assasinate specific faction leaders within your empire.
Don't know about cross empire assassination.

You can assissinate leaders of faction, but we don't know about country leaders and other types of characters. Probably not, it would completely negate the effects of +leader lifespan traits.

You can assassinate the leaders of factions in your empire.

Probably going to be a thing when espionage gets added. I say when, because Pdx in all their benevolence will at some point see it suitable to grant us with reward for our unending hype.
