SUMMARY
Star system, reachable with Jumponium, containing a neutron star, an MIII red giant and multiple landable planets/moons.
DESCRIPTION

Charted as Iwhophs UJ-R e4-2 in the Universal Cartographics catalogue, this star system has a bit of (almost) everything for eager explorers. It's located nearly 2,900 light years above the galactic plane, offering a fantastic view of the Milky Way Spiral Arms and the Galactic Core.

Moreover, the system is home to both an neutron star and and an ancient MIII class red giant. It can be reached by means of a Jumponium-enhanced hyperjump of 98.30 light years but luckily has two fuel stars plus a neutron star for a safe return home.

The system's nickname Serenity is derived from its extremely remote location and the tranquil views it offers to he weary traveler, making it a good spot to maybe meditate and recover from Deep Space Dissociation Syndrome (DSDS, aka Space Madness).

Serenity has a very interesting nested moon (AB 1BA), which orbits its parent moon every 5 standard hours in a jaw-dropping distance of only 2,100 kilometres. The parent moon in turn orbits a class III gas giant which can make an interesting „row“ vista of three heavenly bodies if taken appropriately. AB 1BA also has silicate vapour activity (3 sources) which as of October 31st 3308 still needs analysis.

Another fascinating feature is a landable moon (C1) orbiting the 30ish solar radii red giant at a mere 240 light seconds (appr. half of Earth – Sol), making it little more than a metal-rich baked potato.

With 1.4g gravity it's a bit above average but the surface isn’t too rough. So since it’s possible to land, travelers can literally bask in the heavy solar winds blowing across the surface at amazing speeds. Even in an Artemis suit, you will not withstand the sheer radiation for long.

Serenity also has other very interesting star systems nearby, namely a double neutron star system, a few red giant stars and also a number of younger, massive stars of types B and A.

Most of this remote area is still in its exploration infancy and only poorly mapped. In a way, everything above 2,600 light years is a microcosm in its own right and definitely worth a visit, although explorers are advised to stock up their Jumponium supplies in advance: Some star systems of the ascent are just that: Solitary stars without the means to gather Jumponium elements.
