Logbook Entry – April 24, 3311

CMDR: Levy Wilson

System: Dryoea Flyuae RI-S d4-3653

Carrier: La Sombra del Vacío

Role: Deep-Space Exploration / Fleet Operations

After several days mining tritium along the outer Colonia fringe, I resumed my expedition deeper into the black, traveling in parallel with La Sombra del Vacío. When I arrived in system Dryoea Flyuae RI-S d4-3653, I had no idea I’d stumbled into what may be one of the most extreme naturally generated systems in the galaxy.

My initial focus was on planet B 10, a so-called “terrestrial ice world.” The classification proved comical:

Dryoea Flyuae RI-S d4-3653 B 10

Type: Ice World

Mass: 7.77 Earth masses

Gravity: 1.63g

Surface Temp: 1,407 K (2,073°F)

Surface Pressure: 2,005,130 atmospheres

Atmosphere: 98.4% Water Vapor

Volcanism: Water Geysers

The surface temperature would melt steel, and the pressure is equivalent to Earth's inner core. The Forge still considers it an ice world due to its origin, but in its current state, it's a supercritical steam planet. Water geysers? Only if they’re blasting through thousands of atmospheres of scalding fog.

I didn’t land. I doubt anything would survive long enough to transmit telemetry.

Addendum: Planet A 1 — The Inner Furnace

Just as I was wrapping up, I spotted another odd reading closer to the star. Dryoea Flyuae RI-S d4-3653 A 1 turned out to be something even more extreme.

Dryoea Flyuae RI-S d4-3653 A 1

Type: High Metal Content World

Mass: 2.57 Earth masses

Gravity: 1.63g

Surface Temp: 7,189 K (12,962°F)

Surface Pressure: 1,972,080 atmospheres

Volcanism: Silicate Vapor Geysers

Orbital Distance: 0.03 AU (Tidally Locked)

This isn't a planet — it's an industrial-grade blast furnace wrapped in a pressure suit. At over 7,000 K, it exceeds the Sun’s surface temperature, with atmospheric pressure nearing 2 million atmospheres. The volcanic activity is pure silicate vapor.

Further Observations

Additional surface scans reveal that five planets in this system exceed 200 atmospheres of surface pressure, with three pushing beyond 300. Compared to B 10 and A 1, they’re tame — but in any other system, they'd be considered geologically extreme.

This isn't just an odd planet or two — it's an entire system skewed by something far beyond normal stellar dynamics. Either this system evolved under rare, chaotic conditions... or something else left its mark here, long ago.

I’m moving on before the Forge throws another anomaly my way. But Dryoea Flyuae RI-S d4-3653 is going in the long-range catalogs. Approach with caution. Or curiosity. Or both.

*The following was written by ChatGPT to explain this system's Stellar Forge anomalies.

While jumping out from Colonia to look for systems with icy rings to fuel my new fleet carrier, I discovered Eoch Pruae LX-T d3-2168 ABCD 2 c. I was the first to discover, map, and land on it, but even without the first footfall bonus, the body's exobiology is worth a total of 76.42 million credits and it's only about 1k lightyears from Colonia. I'm going to keep fueling my fleet carrier, then jump around the local star systems to see if there are any other systems with bodies with this many biologicals.
