SUMMARY
This giant 95 planet system offers tremendous mining opportunities and stunning views.
DESCRIPTION

DROOTIAE JC-U D3-7, dubbed TA-BILH by the discovering explorers during the Fatherhood’s 3309 5 Regions Expedition, boasts 95 planetary bodies orbiting a binary F / M stellar pair in the Hieronymus Delta region 54,284LY from Sol and 32,675LY from Colonia.

The system boasts 11 Ringed bodies with 14 Icy, Metal Rich, and Rocky rings with a total of 62 resource hotspots, including 6 Tritium spots in four separate planetary rings. In addition to tritium, this resource rich system offers Alexandrite, Musgravite, Benitoite, Serendibite, Monazite, Low Temp Diamonds, Void Opals, and Grandiderite, much of what a newly founded colony might need. As if that weren’t enough, the system also hosts 3 “terraformable” water worlds and 1 “terraformable” high metal content world. There are 2 Gas Giants with Water Based life and 2 with Ammonia based life and a number of crashed Thargoid probes providing a ready supply of Sensor Fragments for those in need. Finally, TA-BILH is a green system with all premium materials available in surface deposits and 31 biosignatures on 7 of the system’s moons.

The system’s discoverers chose TA-BILH, the word used by ancient Navajo Code Talkers to mean “Together”. The explorers chose this name to honor the indigenous peoples of North America and all indigenous peoples of Earth harmed through colonial exploitation in hopes humanity could be better.

Notable Bodies:

14 A hugs its parent’s icy ring system with a mere 327KM separating the moon from the ring at its closest surface point. This proximity makes it possible to distinguish the ring-borne ice chunks and the movement of the ring while standing on the surface of the moon.

The presence of two Gas Giants with ammonia-based life (14 & 15) mean non-human signals (crashed Thargoid probes) can be detected strewn about the systems moons. Just be careful where you land!

Two thin carbon dioxide moons (10 C & 10 D) are a close binary pair circling one another a mere 542KM apart. The two orbit their Jovian parent at only 1.5LS making for spectacular views.

This nested moon (14 C A) orbits its parent (14 C) at a distance of only 2,177KM completing a single orbit in a fast 8 hours.
