Magellan's Star - Easternmost Galaxy Point

Finally made it to Magellan's Star. Many many jumps from last place. Have put over 40k ly on the ship in the last month.

Puemao Sector Mapping

On my way back to the bubble via the Long Route Home, and I've noticed that the Puemao sector, high above the plane, had only a single mapped system (as per https://cim.sotl.org.uk/elite-dangerous/). I mapped several dozen systems.

This sector is very sparse, and many of the systems are upwards of 70 or 80 light years apart. Neutron stars and white dwarves help, but the traveler should be bringing plenty of FSD boost injections. I found little of interest, except for system Puemao BW-E d11-0 - a WW and 3 NSPs.

Continuing Route Home from Distant Worlds Expedition

After several months in deep statis to allow my ship to recover (and my mind), I've resumed my trip home via the Longer Route Home path through the eastern section of the galaxy.

After reaching waypoint 4 (Suvaa NL-P d5-29) I will be turning south and traversing the Hipparcos Basin. This area has been little explored and perhaps will turn up something of interest.

Segnao Starburst Cluster Survey, Day 8

Today I completed the survey of the "Segnao AA-A h" stars, all of with h38 to h53 covered. h50 is a large nebula.

The complete survey found:

  • Herbig Ae/Be: h38, h48 (+Water giant, Water world), h49
  • Wolf-Rayet: h39, h42, h43, h51, h52
  • Black Holes: h44, h45 (+ Herbig), h46
  • Blue Supergiant: h53 (443 solar radii), h41 (432 solar radii), h47 (399 solar radii)
  • O-type stars: h40 (2x)
Segnao Starburst Cluster Survey, Day 7

Survey of Segnao cluster continues, mainly of AeBe stars and high-mass O-types. A Wolf-Rayet was discovered, and a blue super-giant of 426 solar radii.

The stand-out discovery was of a system I'm dubbing "The Devil's Dozen". This system has an unusual diversity of bodies which are hard to explain with current stellar dynamics. The main objects of the system are a Herbig Ae/Be of 106 stellar masses - in only 0.87 solar radii - in binary orbit with a 35 solar mass black hole. This system is orbited by no less than 7 lava-type heavy-metal worlds with thick water atmospheres; an ammonia world with life; a terraformable heavy metal world; and a massive water-world in co-orbit with a gas giant bearing water-based life. The water-world is more massive than the gas giant! How is all this possible with only an apparent age of 2 million years?

Segnao Starburst Cluster Survey, Day 6

After some time off, survey of the Segnao Starburst cluster resumed. Heading up (+Y on galactic axis) provided opportunities to search many Herbrig stars and several O-type stars. 21 Herbrig and 4 O-types were surveyed. Herbrigs continue to show a wide variety of objects, from rocky worlds up to T-Tauri stars, and often binary companion objects as large as B-type stars.

The only object of special note was an extra-large ammonia-life world found orbiting the Herbrig star of Segnao EB-X f1-852. A 37 earth-mass world with life near a protostar is something of an anomaly.

Segnao Starburst Cluster Survey, Day 4/5

Heading straight up into the heart of the Segnao sector. Full of B-type stars, with many O-type and some Herbig Ae/Be.

Found one system with a binary Herbig having four water-life bearing gas-giants, three terraformable heavy metal worlds, and two water worlds. Such a huge number of systems here, the general plan will be to find h-class systems and pick up anything interesting in between.

Pilot will be taking a few days of down time before resuming his survey.

Segnao Starburst Cluster Survey, Day 3/4

Completed the Phrae Gria survey:

  • AA-A g: 9
  • BA-A g: 0
  • EG-Y g: 0
  • FG-Y g: 0
  • CL-Y g: 1
  • DL-Y g: 2
  • YE-A g: 2
  • ZE-A g: 80

So I was wrong about "a few more" ZE-A g stars. I did not finish exploring all of the 80 ZE-A stars, because I got bored of exploring so many black holes. There are plenty left for future explorers.

After doing some viewing it appears that the Segnao Starburst has a number of smaller clusters. Almost all of these are dense clusters of B-type stars.

  • Hypaa Greau cluster: Centered near -10,350: -320: 35490.
  • Segnao XJ cluster: Centered near -10,760: -244: 36260.
  • Segnao: JM cluster: Centered near -10,650: -570: 36640.
  • Segnao: IR cluster: Centered near -10,570: -430: 36660
  • Segnao: KC/LU/OI cluster: Centered near -10,500: -280: 37000
Segnao Starburst Cluster Survey, Day 2 (end)

Have completed surveying all g-category systems (aka AA-A gX, BA-A gX, etc) in Phrae Gria save for a few in ZE-A, which I'll wrap up tomorrow.

Lots of black holes, neutron stars, and a few O-type stars. The stand out item was found along to way to one of these systems, and was Phrae Griaa GG-V d3-103. This system has no less than 4 water worlds (2 terraformable) and 2 terraformable heavy metal worlds... orbiting a M-class star with a neutron star off at a distance.

The evening was finished by landing on a planet in ZE-A g2 for gathering materials for AFM refill. This system has a primary black hole and the secondaries are class-T dwarves; the planets are almost pitch black, making for spooky driving in the SRV.

Segnao Starburst Cluster Survey, Day 2

The first day of survey went better than my wildest dreams. I headed straight down to the bottom of the area, and quickly found some amazing systems:

  • Phrae Gria AA-A h0: A N-class Wolf Rayet star orbited by two huge B-class stars, with 346 and 294 solar radii
  • Phrae Gria AA-A g2: This amazing location has a binary black hole and neutron star... with an orbiting, ringed, earth-like world! This astonishing find will be named Erik's World after a loved one.

Continuing on to a further survey of the Phrae Gria area, hoping for more amazing finds.
