Distant Worlds 2 – Waypoint 6

Sagittarius A* (1.38LY)

The Centre

Well, since we’re here. The supermassive black hole at the centre of the galaxy.

Byoomao MI-S e4-5423 (905.94LY)

Wulfric

Named the “Wulfric” Nebula, this is part of the group of close proximity stellar remnants ejecta nebulae within the Myriesly sector.

The nebula is best viewed from the neighboring system; Byoomao WX-T C19-4546.

Zunuae HL-Y e6903 (1,931.01LY)

Zunuae Nebula

Nicknamed the “Inky Nebula”, Zunuae is a small purple nebula situated on the near edge of the galactic bar.

The nebula is best viewed from the neighboring system; Zunuae OQ-O C6-3342.

Great Annihilator (990.30LY)

Great Annihilator Black Hole

20th century astronomers discovered a source of intense photons at 511 keV, which was known to be the result of positron-electron annihilation. After study determined that the source was equal to annihilation events of 10 billion tons per second of positron-electron pairs, it was dubbed The Great Annihilator. The only possible explanation was a large black hole.

Recent surveys found two black holes and a set of T-Tauri stars in orbit. The primary black hole has almost 200 solar masses and an unusually large radius of 550 kilometers. The secondary black hole has 66 solar masses and a radius around 200 kilometers. The system appears to be located in an unusually dense field of dust, obscuring most nearby stars.

Hypoe Flyi HX-T e3-295 (1,505.40LY)

Caeruleum Luna and Mysturji Crater

Blue planetary nebula with a Neutron Star at its heart. The system contains a variety of worlds, including many landable moons. From the surface of any moon the sky backdrop is stunningly bright, with the blue eject nebula becoming a bright pink and purplish color due to the brightness of the galactic core.

Mysturji Crater

A location from which to relax under the perpetual light from a billion neighboring star systems.

  • Body: A 1 D
  • Gravity: 0.22 G
  • Co-ordinates: 72.16/156.99

Hypoe Flyi HW-W e1-7966 (636.63LY)

Galionas

This small planetary nebula contains a black hole, and several gas giants under perpetually green skies of cosmic dust.

Shrogaei FH-U e3-1421 (2,278.19LY)

Shrogaei Nebula Cluster

Planetary nebula with a neutron star in binary orbit with an Class M star. No other stellar bodies.

Also visible from:

  • Shrogaei BL-X e1-2343 – Planetary nebula with a black hole core orbited by two brown dwarfs, a gas giant and two icy worlds
  • Shrogaei HR-V e2-7758 – Planetary nebula with a neutron star core orbited by a brown dwarf, four gas giants and an icy world
  • Shrogaei QO-Q e5-3431 – Planetary nebula with a neutron star core orbited by two gas giants
  • Shrogaei VJ-Z e6712 – Planetary nebula with a neutron star orbited by two ringed gas giants

Waypoint 6: Dryau Ausms KG-Y e3390 (885.38LY)

Original meetup date: 22/2/3305

Absolute madness of a system from a topology standpoint. The black hole drop star is in a tight binary with a white dwarf (less than 3 ls), which itself has a gas giant orbiting fully inside its exclusion zone and passing through the cones with a period of 14 minutes. Conjointly, a high-metal content world is located just 7ls from the drop-out point, torched by the white dwarf, providing incredible sunrise and set vistas.

Moreover, less than 15ls away from the singularity lies a extremely close-binary of a huge water world and a ringed gas giant, the latter of which has 2 volcanic moons skimming the very edge of the rings on slightly inclined orbits, although these rings may be invisible to ship scanner. Use caution!

The views offered from the surface of the landable moons is unlike anything seen elsewhere in the galaxy, and all objects in the inner system have extremely short orbital periods creating a dynamically changing view in the sky. Absolute must visit for anyone in the area.

Moons AB 2a and AB 2b periodically collide! The close proximity of the two moons and the conflicting gravity wells were responsible for killing hundreds of pilots during the Distant Worlds 2 expedition.
