| DESCRIPTION | ||
| → | ||
| → | This binary star system contains four Earth-like worlds, including two in a binary orbit, and four water worlds, two of which are terraformable. The system was first catalogued in 3302 and included on the Voyager Trail return route for Distant Worlds 2. The binary Earth-like pair, Body B 4 and Body B 5, orbit each other in a 19-day cycle and are tidally locked, meaning each planet's "day" is also 19 days. Despite this, the planets remain an average surface temperature of 292K, or 19°C.
The Earth-like worlds have thicker atmospheres as their distance from their parent star increases, allowing them to maintain similar surface temperatures. Body B 3 has the lowest gravity, with Body B 6 and Body B 7 having the closest gravity to Earth-normal.
The system's relative proximity to the Core Systems could make it a tempting target for colonisation as part of the Trailblazers Initiative, though as of September 3311, the nearest established colony is still over 1,000 light-years away. | |
