Distant Worlds 2 – Waypoint 8

Hypoe Bluae VP-O e6-8688 (963.47LY)

Dances with Giants

Planets A 1 and A 2 of this star system are twin gas giants in a binary orbit with an orbital period of just 0.5D. They orbit one another so closely, that CMDR’s who visit them will be treated to an amazing view of them both.

Additionally for CMDR’s who are prepared to wait and position themselves behind the more distant gas giant, they will be treated to a double sunrise when the main star shines through between them both. A must see for any traveler yearning for stellar sights while passing through this region of space.

Brairee KD-S e4-2776 (1,787.43LY)

Forgotten Twins Nebula

While on the Distant Worlds 3302 Expedition, the Eleu Exploration Vessel Velsheda came across this beautiful double nebula while in transit from the Green Crystal to the Magnus Nebula.

Lyaisua SJ-Z e7708 (1,513.25LY)

Blue Rhapsody Nebula

A planetary nebula 5,587 lightyears away from Sagittarius A*, between the Galactic Core and the Perseus Stem portion of the Distant Worlds 2 expedition. A large supernova remnant, with varying shades of purple and blue.

Lasoae BF-A f810 (2,616.33LY)

Iris’ Missive

During the Perseus Survey this Black Hole was discovered next to a Green/Blue Planetary Nebula. The close position (approx. 7 LYs) between these two stellar features creates a gorgeous view. It reveals a wonderful vista that cannot be seen inside the Planetary Nebula. From Blue, Green and Purple, the gradient creates an amazing rainbow.

This is a High Gravity body at 1.4G! You have been warned!

Located 2,850 light years above the galactic plane, on the fringe of intergalactic space, is a large red giant Carbon Star with a sole landable planet in its close proximity. The orbit of the metal-rich planet is perpendicular to the distant galactic dust and stars, serving as a perfect backdrop for intense light with the Carbon Star in the foreground.

In the distance one can no longer discern distinctive stars, but rather, the galaxy appears as a luminescent haze of glowing light and fire. In the foreground rest a Goliath C-N Carbon Star 29 times the radius of the sun.

With its primary Neutron Star, this system serves as a distant point of departure for those trying to reach 3,000ly above the galactic plane.

Nearby are multiple black holes and Neutron Stars reachable only with jumponium or a Fleet Carrier at the upper limits of the galactic ceiling.

Goliath’s Rest was discovered by CMDR Parabolus during the SHEPARD Expedition of 3303.
