DESCRIPTION

The Spirograph Nebula at BD-12 1172 is a minor planetary nebula 1,100 light-years from Sol in the direction of Barnard's Loop and the Orion Nebula. Only a few million years ago, IC 418 was probably a common red giant star. Since running out of nuclear fuel, though, the outer envelope has begun expanding outward leaving a hot remnant core destined to become a white dwarf star. The nebula has strong green colors, which combine with the blue-white of the O-class primary to create stunning visuals on several rocky planets.

Both Planet 2 and Planet 10 hold Notable Stellar Phenomena (NSPs) in the rings. Planet 2's metal-rich ring contains a high level of dust particles, allowing the crystalline structures inside the ring to create crepuscular rays when silhouetted against the primary star.

Viride Gourd Molluscs cohabit the NSPs, though their small size requires pilots to track down their flickering radar tracks. The Molluscs interact with ship headlights, sometimes engaging in behavior that resembles a game of tag.

Explorers can also find lattice mineral spheres at the NSPs in Planet 10's ring, along with Rubeum Metallic Crystals.

Prasinium Bioluminescent Anemones inhabit several bodies in the system, including Planet 2 and Planet 10 a.

Pilots attempting to land on Planet 2 should be advised to fly cautiously, as the planet's gravity is 1.75 times Earth-normal. However, pilots who make the landing will be treated to spectacular views of the ring against the blue-green sky of the Spirograph.

The Spirograph Nebula (IC 418) at BD-12 1172 is a minor planetary nebula 1,100 light-years from Sol in the direction of Barnard's Loop and the Orion Nebula. Only a few million years ago, the central star in BD-12 1172 (also known as HD 35914) was probably a common red giant star. Since running out of nuclear fuel, though, the outer envelope has expanded outward, leaving a hot remnant core destined to become a white dwarf.
