SUMMARY
A binary pair of a water world and a gas giant orbiting 9 ls from two black holes and a ringed white dwarf.A binary pair of a water world and a gas giant orbiting 9 ls from two black holes and a ringed white dwarf.
DESCRIPTION

Dark Tides is an odd Water World that was discovered in the triple black hole system of Schee Prau AA-A h230. The planet has a Class III Gas Giant companion which orbits their shared barycentre at a period of around 3 hours. The Water World's rotational speed is large enough that the planet is visibly oblate.

The pair orbits the two black holes (A and B) at a distance of 9 ls, resulting in a fast orbit, and allowing explorers to see the two planets right after arriving at the system.

Another major feature of this system is a ringed DA white dwarf star, nicknamed the "Divine Light", in a binary orbit with a class F star.

The dead star's metal-rich ring system has a 191,800 km inner radius and a 2,616,800km outer ring radius.

Due to the light produced by its companion, the white dwarf's rings have a beautiful white glow, which can be seen from a long distance thanks to the rings' large radius.

Divine Light's first moon is also a landable rocky body, with an orbital period of 2.6 days.

Some extra pictures of the system:
