SUMMARY | ||
A mostly untouched H-Mass System 176Ly from Colonia. Notable for its trinary black holes (two of which scare you on approach) and a rare Taylor's Ring around a gas giant (ring 10% of gas giant width). | → | A partially explored massive system 176 ly from Colonia.

DESCRIPTION | ||
→ | ||
A high-mass system hidden in the star density of the Colonia region. Though it is an uncommon sought-after H-mass system that doesn't dump all mass into a Wolf-Rayet, it only has a visitor's list five names long. Commanders entering the system can expect to be surprised by the close binary of singularities upon entrance that can force the FSD to emergency drop without quick evasion or hyperspace dethrottle. Discovery scanning will populate the system map with an additional black hole as well as a few ringed stars and gas giants, as well as a few landables. Due to the proximity of the black holes to each other, the gravitational lensing effects combine to make a hole in space-time visible from anywhere in the system. The system also contains six landable atmosphereless planets orbiting brown dwarfs with rings, potentially creating striking views for those willing to manipulate the camera suite. Most are even unmapped, giving the opportunity for explorers (or non-explorers, given the close distance) to get their names registered with Universal Cartograhics. Unfortunately none of the rings of the system contain any notable valuable materials, unless you're in search of minerals ending in -ite contained in the dozen hotspots scattered around. The dwarfs boast wide rings stretching to the exclusion zone, although its a common sight throughout the galaxy. One ring in particular, the only one orbiting a gas giant, is special. The width of the ring is only 9.8% of the host bodies' diameter, making it a quite rare Taylor's Ring with more then a few uninteresting hotspots. Another Taylor's ring is close by in the populated system Rodentia Petram. | → | A massive system hidden in the star density of the Colonia region. Although it is an uncommon massive system that contains plenty of bodies, and it's fairly close by to Colonia (which is 176 ly away), it only has a visitor's list that's five names long. Commanders entering the system can expect to be surprised by the close binary pair of black holes upon arrival, which without quick action from the pilot can force their ship to an emergency drop. Scanning the system will reveal an additional black hole as well as a few ringed stars and gas giants, and some landable bodies. Due to the proximity of the black holes to each other, the gravitational lensing effects combine to make the warping of light visible from anywhere in the system. The system also contains six landable non-atmospheric planets orbiting ringed brown dwarf stars, potentially creating striking views for those. Most of them are even unmapped, giving the opportunity for Commanders to get their names registered with Universal Cartographics. Unfortunately none of the rings contain any notable valuable materials, unless one is searching for minerals in the dozen hotspots scattered around. The dwarfs boast wide rings stretching to the FSD exclusion zone, although that's a common sight throughout the galaxy. There is one ring in particular that is notable: one of the gas giants has a so-called Taylor's ring around it. The width of this ring is only 9.8% of the host body's diameter. Another such Taylor's ring is close by in the populated system of Rodentia Petram. |
