Found on the border between Odin’s Hold and the Empyrean Straits, Dryi Audst AA-A h108 is a binary system between a near absolute-zero Wolf-Rayet star, and a giant Class O star of nearly 204 solar radiuses. h108 A, the Wolf-Rayet, barely has a surface temperature of merely 2 Kelvin, which translates to negative 271.85 degrees Celsius, while h109 B has a common temperature of 34,964 Kelvin.

Whilst comparable to the previously found “Dark Star” POI, the temperatures on h108 A’s surface are currently the lowest on record in the entire galaxy. This puts into question if this might be a more widespread phenomenon, and if this type of Wolf-Rayet star could be put into its own category due to the extremely low surface temperatures.

Behind h108 A rests h108 B, the previously mentioned giant Class O star. With a radius of 204 solar radii, it dominates the view no matter what angle, and is clearly visible from the nearby h108 A star.

Despite h108 A’s extremely cold surface temperature, it is still seemingly capable of fusion, with ionized oxygen lines invisibly spreading across its surface. Thanks to the nearly 112 Suns' worth of mass, it is very likely that h108 A will collapse into a hypernova alongside h108 B, which too has a large enough mass (of nearly 38 solar masses) to start this process.

Even when fully illuminated by h108 B, the stark contrast between both stars is immense, to the point where one might even mistake h108 A for a black hole.

The two stars form a binary pair, with an orbital period of 71.4 days. h108 B’s immense size means that h108 A's path would take it through the other star, but since the pair orbits opposite of each other, they aren't going to collide.

Explorers wishing to visit this system should heed the following warnings, to prevent an unfortunate loss of their own ship:

• Bringing adequate heatsinks is strongly recommended due to the extreme nature of both stars, with heat rapidly building up beyond the critical point. AFMs are also recommended, to repair damage to the ship's Frame-Shift Drive.
• Flying in between the two stars is ill advised due to the previously mentioned extreme heat built-up, and because of their gravitational pulls, it is also very difficult to get out from between.
• Depending on the angle of approach, h108 A can be invisible to the naked eye against the dark background, even from close range. Explorers should watch their displays closely, and it's recommended to target the star at all times to prevent crashing into it.
• When jumping into the system, one should keep in mind that h109 B is likely to dominate the view. It is recommended is to fly away from it as soon as possible, and then to turn around to find h109 A and approach it from behind.
