SUMMARY | ||
→ | A C-N carbon giant star that notably hosts two close-orbiting gas giants with moons, one of which orbits within the star's corona. | |
DESCRIPTION | ||
→ | ||
→ | Embedded within the dense star fields of Odin's Hold is no ordinary carbon star system. In total, there are seven planets in orbit around the star, but immediately upon arrival, something catches your eye. Two of these planets orbit much closer to their parent giant star compared to others you've seen before. Especially Body 1, which orbits once every 37.2 days, and lies within the star's corona, appearing to be tinted a murky yellow-green color. To your surprise, the gas giant sustains a thin—yet stable ring system, as well as two small metal-rich moons on the edge of the giant planet's grasp. Setting down on one of the moons, the carbon giant overwhelms the sky above you, casting off solar flares that would definitely cook you if you got any closer. Getting out on your feet and braving the heat for a moment stings every fiber of your being, but it's worth it. Glancing over your shoulder, not too far away, relatively, is the second planet in the system, rolling along its orbit sideways. You wonder if it too will succumb to the intense drag of the stellar wind and be obliterated by its parent star, or be spared for a while longer, until the star inevitably obliterates itself. Departing for hyperspace, you take one last look at the gas giant behind you suspended above the giant star within an epic coronal mass ejection. What a time to be alive, to witness such awe and wonder? Will I be the only living thing to see this, or will it be lost in the ever-moving sea of stars? | |
