SUMMARY
A system orbiting a blue star containing two anaerobic lifeforms on four planets, notably one on a close binary and another on a terraformable ringed atmospheric world.
DESCRIPTION

Four bodies in the system are host to two species of extremophile — Luteolum Anemone found occasionally on hot metallic worlds, and Sinuous Tubers, found rarely on volcanic worlds close to the Galactic Centre. Anemone inhabit planets 1, 4, and 8. Sinuous Tubers are present exclusively on moon 6 A A.

Anemone on the first two worlds, 1 and 4, have been left untouched as a first-scanned gift from Vista Genomics for the first visitor. Sequence at your own risk, however; the B-class star looms large in the sky, and the high gravity can catch smaller ships with a surprise lithobrake.

The moon 6 A A sprouts Sinuous Tubers, a somewhat rare sight this far from the Galactic Centre region. It consists of a very close binary of the larger 6 A body and smaller 6 A A moon-moon, with a orbital period of five hours. The latter has major silicate vapor geyser activity caused by the strong gravitational forces.

Body 8 is a visually striking thin carbon dioxide terraformable ringed high-metal-content world, with metallic magma volcanism under a comfortable -20º C and 1.4 G.

Planet 8 from orbit

Notable for not only hosting Rubeum Luteolum Anemone, but also an uncommon instance of airless organics inhabiting an atmospheric world. Its decently wide metal rich rings can be seen from a high latitude on the surface, complementing the orangish hue with a dirty-white stripe across the sky.
