Distant Worlds 2 – Waypoint 9

Be aware: There are several permit locked areas around here. You may find route plotting difficult. If you can’t plot a direct route for some reason, try to replot to somewhere else going around the Bleia Permit Zone.

Vegnoae BK-R d4-1105 (1,265.68LY)

Neighbouring Necklaces

The innermost two planets of the primary star in Vegnoae BK-R d4-1105 are in a binary configuration with such a tight orbit that their ring systems almost touch. The contrast between these two worlds and their necklaces of rings is also remarkable: planet A1 is an airless world with rocky rings, bronze next to the silver metal-rich rings of planet A2 which is a lava world.

Hypuae Briae YQ-Z c28-339 (1,721.61LY)

Magnus Nebula

Magnus Nebula is a large vivid purple nebula along the inner Perseus Arm near the galactic core. At 36,000 LYs from Sol, this is possibly one of the largest nebulae so far discovered on the far side of the galactic core. Magnus contains several thousand star systems, including 2 Neutron Stars and 3 K-Class Giants, and is situated just 750 LYs outside the mysterious borders of the Bleia Permit Zone.

Tucked away in the almost permanent shadow of a Class III gas giant, nestled in the Magnus Nebula is this (7 A) frozen ice world. At first glance unremarkable but a closer look reveals some astonishing geographical features. The vast ice fields looks like a frozen ocean with a tidal wave inbound frozen in place.

Hyuqeae MT-Q e5-4335 (841.39LY)

Hydrangea Nebula

This small nebula stands out against the pale background of the Galactic Core regions with bright red, orange and green colours in a spherical cloud, giving it a very floral appearance, hence the name

At the centre can be found the neutron star that remains from the supernova that created the nebula, along with its distant companion and a collection of planets with mostly airless moons.

Hypuae Briae LC-U e3-152 (1,374.11LY)

The Zinnia Haze

A small planetary nebula located more than 1,000 LYs above the galactic plane, with a Neutron Star as its primary stellar object.

Waypoint 9: Phroi Bluae QI-T e3-3454 (3,003.84LY)

Original arrival date: 29/3/3305

Meetup location: 3 A

Cerulean Tranquility, a light blue nebula.

A planetary nebula 8,400 lightyears away from Sagittarius A*, along the Perseus Stem portion of the Distant Worlds 2 expedition. Light blue skies surrounding a neutron star system make for some spectacular environmental views.
