Summary:

Seemingly unremarkable system offers magnificent views of a nearby nebula, which lights up the sky of the single landable planetary body.

 
Description:

Pheia Auscs XU-X d1-355 is a seemingly dull, unremarkable system which, at first glance, doesn't offer much for the intrepid explorer. However, while cruising in system if one turns the right way they will be greeted with a splendid view of the nearby Pheia Auscs VO-A e20 planetary nebula, which houses a neutron star and several bodies.

The system houses a single landable moon, BC 3 a, which may surprise the Commander who steps out of their ship onto the surface, however, as the nearby nebula now fills the sky like the exploding remnant of a massive, ancient, stellar phoenix.

The twin red dwarf stars, which form the barycenter that all the planetary bodies of the system orbit, hover just outside the view of the nebula, as though they were a pair of twin phoenix eggs left behind from the fiery death of the parent. Some explorers consider it a promise, as though the fiery remnants represent a sort of crucible for new life, light, and warmth.

While it isn't certain that the nebula in question was actually involved in the formation of the two stars of this system, the rather romantic notion has resulted in earning the stars and nebula as viewed from BC 3 a the nickname "Phoenix Twins."
