Rhuedgie KN-T e3-721 (1,295.67LY)
Breakthrough Echoes
Discovered during the Perseus Survey, a gas giant of this system has three moons which are all ELWs, also one of them is ringed.
Originally named ‘Breakthrough Echoes’ back in the early 3300’s when it was first discovered, this system was a winning entry in the 3307 Tourist Beacon Contest, and was renamed Children of a Giant by its original discoverer.
Braisio FR-V e2-293 (2,367.64LY)
Braisio Juliet Nebula Cluster
A planetary nebula with a black hole core.
Rothaei SI-B e2047 (2,175.84LY)
Dark Eye Nebula
A dark planetary nebula obscuring the bright star field behind. Cut across with a blue-purple cats iris that makes the whole nebula look like a photo negative of a cats eye. This system was named by the Mobius Exploration Corps.
Phipoea HJ-D c27-5254 (2,809.92LY)
Silver Highway
Body: 3 A
Hidden on the outskirts of the Phipoea Nebula is an ice moon, located between a Class 1 Gas Giant’s inner and outer ring systems, and very close to the former. Pilots are rewarded with an extreme close-up of this inner ring as it tilts away from the moon’s surface – so close, in fact, that it is easy to see individual objects moving in the belt as it orbits. The appearance is that of an enormous, shining, million-lane highway around the gas world.
Phipoea WK-E d12-1374 (104.23LY)
Crown of Ice
Sadly, this POI no longer exists in E:D Odyssey but was part of the original DW2 expedition. The details below are for historical reference only.
Body: 4 A
Orbiting a ringed Gas Giant, this is a rocky ice moon with some truly extreme geography. The northern polar cap is a mountain range somewhere in the neighbourhood of 50Km in height…with canyons that can exceed 20Km in depth. The canyons themselves can be exceedingly narrow.
Phua Aub VY-S e3-3899 (1,690.55LY)
Phua Aub Archer Beta
Body: 8 A
A plantery nebula with a black hole core. Best viewed from body 8 A, the rings through to the nebula behind.

Waypoint 7: Stuemeae KM-W c1-342 (859.50LY)
Original meetup date: 17/3/3305
Body: 1 B
The system is one of the closest orbiting Sagittarius A*, at just 1.38 LY distance. The supermassive black hole is visible in the sky.
Armstrong Landing – famed for being the galactic core basecamp (Waypoint #11) during the Distant Worlds 3302 Expedition. Armstrong Landing basecamp is located on 1 B.
One of the amazing things about DW2 was FDev including Community Goals in the game, the second one (since we’re doing it in reverse) was here.
From February 24 to March 1, the expedition traveled to Waypoint 7, the Stuemeae KM-W c1-342 system near both Sagittarius A* and the under-construction Starport Explorer’s Anchorage in Stuemeae FG-Y d7561. “Armstrong Landing”, the base camp site for Waypoint 7, was also the base camp site for Waypoint 11 in the original Distant Worlds expedition. DW2 organizers planned to remain at Waypoint 7 until March 17 to facilitate the expansion of Explorer’s Anchorage and allow time for members to prepare for the journey to Beagle Point.
The second mining Community Goal of the expedition ran from March 7 to March 14, 3305. Although the original plans had called for the Community Goal to mine resources for use in expanding services at Explorer’s Anchorage, the station had already launched most services ahead of schedule, and it was decided that the CG would instead be used to construct a Megaship and an Installation in Stuemeae FG-Y d7561 to further facilitate the study of Sagittarius A*. In addition to the mining CG, a second CG was held simultaneously to provide security for the miners and collect bounty vouchers from wanted criminals.
The Community Goal was successful, with 2,812 pilots contributing a total of 2,367,428 tonnes of material. However, the DSSV Distant Worlds and Event Horizon Science Relay did not become operational until June 27, 3305.
Consider visiting Explorer’s Anchorage and/or DSSV Distant Worlds and/or Event Horizon Science Relay in Stuemeae FG-Y d7561, the results of the CG.
