SUMMARY
A red giant star with an Earth-like moon of a brown star, an Ammonia world, and a number of atmospheric planets.A red giant star with an Earth-like moon of a brown star, an Ammonia world, and a number of atmospheric planets.
DESCRIPTION

Photographer's Dream is located in the Norma Arm region, and has a collection of interesting planets to explore around the giant system. Explorers jumping into the system are greeted with the close binary pair of a black hole binary and red dwarf giant star, which has a solar radius of 31.5631.

AB 3 is an ordinary L type dwarf star, but it has an Earth-like world orbiting it closely as its moon. Compared to Earth, this world has a thin atmosphere (0.57 atm) and weaker surface gravity (0.6 g), but it's still quite habitable. It's almost a quarter of our home's size as well.

The next planetary body of interest is the colossal Ammonia World (AB 5), weighing a staggering 60.8231 Earth masses. It is tidally locked to the red giant star, and has an extremely thick atmosphere.

The dim L dwarf star is close and large enough to be clearly visible from the planet, making it seems like it has two suns.

In addition to these points of interests, there are also three gas giants orbiting an M class dwarf star. Two are Gas Giants with Water-Based life, one is a Class III Gas Giant.

Moving on, there is a binary pair of class T brown dwarf star and a class M dwarf star, which contains a landable body with a thin oxygen atmosphere. The vibrant blue and pink atmosphere of the planet is easily visible, and has some unique colours thanks to the light of the nearby dwarf star.

It's worth looking at the atmosphere and its layers closer. The upper atmosphere has a vibrant purple colour, looking almost as if it were exaggerated. Down on the surface, the sky turns into a bright brown instead, with the zenith washed over by the bright white light of the red giant star.

The surface of the body contains biological life: Stratum Paleas.

Although the dark side (where the T brown dwarf is at), has some weird anomalies.
when getting close to dropping out, the model for the star when you're in the atmosphere appears at the T dwarf, which absolutely makes no sense if no light is being casted since the dwarf is too dim.

The pink light is the dwarf, the yellow bright one is from the far M class star.

Finally we come to our last star of this system, AB12, this body has a close rocky body binary at a 0.4 d orbital period. and two water worlds locked in a binary orbit around each other with an 11.6 d orbit period, and one lone water world AB12 K, being at the edge of the star system. Images for them are at the end of the description.

All water worlds are terraformable.

Finally the system's location is also at the middle point from Colonia, Sagittarius A*, Great Annihilator, and Voqooe Hub. Which is an excellent spot as a resting point for explorers travelling to those locations.

This system, nicknamed the Photographer's Dream, is located in the Norma Arm region, at a middle point between Colonia, Sagittarius A*, the Great Annihilator, and the Voqooe Hub. It features an interesting collection of planets to visit. Explorers arriving here are greeted with the close binary pair of a black hole binary and red dwarf giant star, which has a solar radius of 31.5631.

In this picture, the larger light is the dwarf star, and the smaller one is the class M red dwarf star, farther out.

The final star of this system is AB 12, a class K star with numerous moons of its own. Many of them are landable, and the farthest three are all Water Worlds. They are also candidates for terraforming: all of them have atmospheres which have too much carbon dioxide to be breathable, and have too low surface pressure as well.

Finally the system's location is also at the middle point from Colonia, Sagittarius A*, Great Annihilator, and Voqooe Hub. Which is an excellent spot as a resting point for explorers travelling to those locations.
