DESCRIPTION

Aiphaisty YE-A d130 is notable for being the only known location of Q07-Type Anomalies, as of 3309. December. At first this system was only mentioned in passing by its discoverer, cataloguing it as a "jumponium rich system" in 3304 and giving it the nickname "Orio-Persean Depot" (see here). The Anomalies seem to have appeared only later, and it was in 3306 that they were discovered.

Caution: due to errors with the FSS scanner, the Notable Stellar Phenomena signals don't show up on the FSA bar! Commanders can only find them by looking at the Navigation panel instead.

The Anomalies are picked up in two asteroid belt clusters around the second star of the system, although they're surrounded by Metallic Crystals instead. Explorers should approach the NSP signals carefully, as lock-on errors can at times make their ship drop down from supercruise within 2 km of the signal's center, which might lead to some damaging collisions with the crystals.

The Q07-Type Anomalies themselves appear to be glowing globes, and upon closer inspection, they are made up by four distinct shells surrounding a central globe:

The second outer-most shell appears to be wobbling, although this is barely visible.

However, Commanders should exercise caution when inspecting the Anomalies: if a ship approaches within 200 m, they react by releasing enormous amounts of heat in a blast. At first, they only glow brighter, but their light soon turns red and their "thermal attack" is unleashed:

A careless CMDR getting hit

Since these Anomalies travel in close clusters, as most other Anomalies tend to do, it's quite likely that more than one of their blasts will hit, leading to even higher temperatures. In many scenarios, ships can be overheated to the point of suffering module or even hull damage, so Commanders are advised to be ready to deploy heat sinks. Alternatively, if their ships don't have any fitted, then just keeping a safe distance and observing the Anomalies via remote camera is also possible.

Other than the Q07-Type Anomalies, this system has little else of interest, although there are a good number of landable planets around several stars of this system. Two thin carbon dioxide landables moons offer a nice variety of surface life, 8 biological signals, although only the Aleoida Gravis on AB 1 c are rare enough, but samples from this moon have already been sold.

The Aiphaisty AA-A h3 nebula is also close by, at a distance of around 600 ly, although it's not much to write home about. It's a large absorption nebula that appears to have broken down into several distinct clouds by today. This means that the nebula can only be seen against the backdrop of the Milky Way, and it's better viewed from some distance away:

This photo was taken at around 200 ly from the nebula's center.
