| SUMMARY | ||
| → | The closest ringed neutron star to the bubble. | |
| DESCRIPTION | ||
| → | ||
| → | The O class star in this system, weighing in at 87 solar masses, is heavy enough that eight other stars are orbiting it. The Pilots Federation have taken the view that these stars should use the nomenclature of planets. Notably star 7 is a Neutron star with ring around it that was perhaps formed from a planet that was torn apart as it reached its roche limit. The ring is intensely bright and dwarfs the neutron star. The density of the ring gives it a soft cloud-like appearence on approach that gives the system its name Kataraktis Nefon which means Waterfall of Clouds in ancient Greek.
The neutron star is itself orbited by an M class star that is only 40% of the mass of our own sun. This star is designated 7 a which is a name normally given to a moon. The system is host to numerous planets of modest gravity that have volcanism and Prasinium Bioluminescent Anemones.
