SUMMARY | ||
A ringed, dead ammonia world with a crystal shard moon. | → | A ringed ammonia world without an atmosphere, with Crystalline Shards on one of its two moons. |
DESCRIPTION | ||
→ | ||
This anomalous Ammonia World (B 3) presents a mystery. Spectacularly surrounded by two rings (one rocky, one icy), it registers and appears to be a normal Ammonia World. Only once you approach it, you notice straight away that something is off: This world has no atmosphere! One can only imagine the catastrophe that stripped the world of it's atmosphere perhaps also led to the creation of it's magnificent rings. The world has two moons, neither have atmospheres. However, the first registers biological signatures. Upon inspection, these turn out to be crystalline shards. The mineral predominantly presented is Ruthenium. Another moon in the same system (B 2 c) also registers similar signals. A brief fly through video is available here. | → | This anomalous Ammonia World (B 3) presents a mystery. At first glance, the only notable thing that might show on the scanners is that it has rings. However, Commanders who didn't notice the lack of an atmospheric reading will immediately notice on approach that something is off: this Ammonia World has no atmosphere! One can only imagine that the catastrophe which stripped the planet of its atmosphere might have also led to the creation of its magnificent rings. The world has two moons, neither of which have atmospheres. However, the first moon registers biological signatures on its surface. Upon closer inspection, these turn out to be Crystalline Shards. The mineral predominantly presented is Ruthenium. Another moon in the same system, B 2 c, also registers similar surface signals. A brief video of flying by the ammonia world and landing on a moon is available here. |
