SUMMARY | ||
→ | A system full of ringed worlds - one being a terraformable HMC orbiting a ringed class 2 giant; and another being slung around its parent star in 5 days, offering a fantastic view from the surface. | |
DESCRIPTION | ||
→ | ||
→ | Deep in the Veils lies a pretty remarkable system full of ringed worlds... The first one - named after Andvari's cursed ring 'Andvaranaut' - is a tidally-locked metal-rich body with iron-magma geysers, swinging around its main star in 5 days, and its walkable surface boils at an unfathomable 1187K. How its surface is still solid is a mystery. One is able to get some spectacular views from the surface, watching the sun sit atop the ring, but don't take too long with the sights lest you fall to the ring's fiery curse... Further within the system is a ringed terraformable HMC (9, 'Sigurd') that has avoided Andvari's curse, orbiting a ringed class II gas giant (8, 'Gurun'). Imagine what the view would be like from its surface one day.Other notable bodies in the system include two unusually small class III giants (6 and 7), with a size of only 15408.7km and 17638.1km respectively. A couple other ringed HMCs are landable too (3 and 5). Another ringed class II giant has a moon that isn't too far from the ring's outer edge. The last notable body is an insignifcant brown dwarf (12) but with a massive ring extending out to 2 lightseconds wide. From its pole you can picture it as a judging eye, watching over the system to keep Andvaranaut under control... | |
