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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Phipoea HJ-D c27-5254 (2,809.92LY)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Silver Highway<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Body: 3 A<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hidden on the outskirts of the Phipoea Nebula is an ice moon, located between a Class 1 Gas Giant&#8217;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&#8217;s surface &#8211; 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Phipoea WK-E d12-1374 (104.23LY)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Crown of Ice<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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 The details below are for historical reference only.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Body: 4 A<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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\u2026with canyons that can exceed 20Km in depth. The canyons themselves can be exceedingly narrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Phua Aub VY-S e3-3899 (1,690.55LY)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Phua Aub Archer Beta<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Body: 8 A<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A plantery nebula with a black hole core.

The supermassive black hole is visible in the sky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Armstrong Landing &#8211; famed for being the galactic core basecamp (Waypoint #11) during the Distant Worlds 3302 Expedition. Armstrong Landing basecamp is located on 1 B.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the amazing things about DW2 was FDev including Community Goals in the game, the second one (since we&#8217;re doing it in reverse) was here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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&#8217;s Anchorage in Stuemeae FG-Y d7561. &#8220;Armstrong Landing&#8221;, 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&#8217;s Anchorage and allow time for members to prepare for the journey to Beagle Point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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&#8217;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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consider visiting Explorer&#8217;s Anchorage and\/or DSSV Distant Worlds and\/or Event Horizon Science Relay in Stuemeae FG-Y d7561, the results of the CG.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"44\" height=\"44\" src=\"https:\/\/jonbaker.me\/beaglepointrevisited\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/ninjao7.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-80\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/jonbaker.me\/beaglepointrevisited\/index.php\/distant-worlds-2-waypoint-6\/\">\u25ba And we continue to Waypoint 6\u2026<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>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.
