NGC 2452 Nebula GCRV 5190 (Find Nearby System to Camp) A small planetary nebula rich in red and green colors, it is centered on a young star system composed of a lonely B star. Ancient records considered this star to be a Wolf-Rayet, but it has clearly been shedding mass into the nebula at a prodigious rate, else it would not have survived to its current age. Nevertheless, it retains enough mass to be a candidate for a core collapse supernova in the future. https://www.edsm.net/en/galactic-mapping#6/14560/0/-3645|nebula,regional,starCluster,stellarRemnant,surfacePOI,travelRoute,|1143

Pharos X10 Phrua Phoe QK-F d11-5 The neutron star in Phrua Phoe QK-F d11-5 has a distance of only 10.8ls from an M class red dwarf. The intertwined embrace of this pair of stars can be observed from a landable planet and moon only 45ls away.

Landing on the moon 'AB 1 a' you can be greeted by a dark and atmospheric location when the neutron star is being eclipsed by the red dwarf, this is soon replaced by a mauve light as the neutron star returns to dominating the skyline.

Gloomgown Mausoleum Gludgou WJ-I d9-44 The Gloomgown Mausoleum is a 'pocket' or 'stretch' of Neutron Stars that all lie quite close to each other (astronomically speaking). The Mausoleum is not comparable in size to the vast Neutron Fields but their location in the far Perseus arm makes them very interesting to study. The pocket is situated among some groups of T Tauri stars and the hotter types of stars like B and A types. It is possible that the T associations are the result of the ejected material of the Neutron Stars' predecessors when they went nova, thus illustrating the cycle of stellar life and death. https://www.edsm.net/en/galactic-mapping#6/14560/0/-3645|nebula,regional,starCluster,stellarRemnant,surfacePOI,travelRoute,|107

Reverberation Prue Eohn EN-H d11-55 The star system's central body is a Neutron Star (which is actually quite cool). Orbiting at some 3,000 LS we find an M type star. This star are seven major terrestrial planets, of which a total of six are suitable for terraforming. We have four High Metals and even two Water Worlds with indigenous carbon-water-based lifeforms. This system would make an excellent spot for a scientific outpost and further colonization attempts and it could act as a gateway to the Vela Molecular Complex, lying directly at its threshold. https://www.edsm.net/en/galactic-mapping#5/16780/0/-1390|blackHole,deepSpaceOutpost,historicalLocation,historicalRoute,jumponiumRichSystem,minorPOI,mysteryPOI,nebula,neutronRoute,organicPOI,pulsar,regional,restrictedSectors,starCluster,stellarRemnant,surfacePOI,travelRoute,|113

Hyon Cluster (Vela Ultima Complex) Hyuedau UY-S e3-5 The Hyon Cluster seems to be the core of a group of B-type stars that have just entered the Main Sequence (hence VZ, V being Main Sequence and Z standing for Zero). Overall stellar age seems to be between 50 and 75 million years. Quite a few of these young, hot stars have their own orbiting T-Tauri stars and also quite a few 'Hot Jupiter' Gas Giants. Vela Ultima Complex is a vast area of star formation sitting in the Vela Constellation deep in the Perseus Arm. It's clearly distinguishable on the Galaxy Map by its red coloration, being the result of illuminated Hydrogen gas. The area is rich in young and moderately old stars, which seem to be especially abundant with gas giants of all kinds. https://www.edsm.net/en/galactic-mapping#8/20220/0/-326|blackHole,deepSpaceOutpost,historicalLocation,historicalRoute,jumponiumRichSystem,minorPOI,mysteryPOI,nebula,neutronRoute,organicPOI,pulsar,regional,restrictedSectors,starCluster,stellarRemnant,surfacePOI,travelRoute,|109

NGC 3199 NGC 3199 Sector LC-V c2-5 NGC 3199 is a large red emmision nebula on the edge of the Orion Shallows - marking the point where the Centaurus Arm makes a dramatic bend to the galactic north. When viewed from certain angles, the nebula resembles a large red bird. Located within the nebula is the Wolf-Rayet star HD 89358, and this is most likely the source of the radiation that ionizes the surrounding gasses of the nebula. A star forming region rich in T-Tauri Class stars is found in the darker, and thus more dense, regions of the nebula. NGC 3199 was extensively explored and surveyed during a long-range mission along the Orion Spur in March 3301. In the fall of 3301 the nebula was revisited by the Sagittarius-Carina Mission, and later by the SHEPARD Mission in 3302. https://www.edsm.net/en/galactic-mapping#6/17550/0/3155|blackHole,deepSpaceOutpost,historicalLocation,historicalRoute,jumponiumRichSystem,minorPOI,mysteryPOI,nebula,neutronRoute,organicPOI,pulsar,regional,restrictedSectors,starCluster,stellarRemnant,surfacePOI,travelRoute,|110 This system contains some of the Guardian ruins discovered in the NGC 3199 Sector.

Using new technology developed by Ram Tah that allowed the decoding of alien data patterns embedded within the obelisks, more and more information regarding the site and its constructors (an alien race referred to as ´The Guardians´) has been assembled and presented to the galactic community.

Hellsreach Smoju EL-P e5-0 The solar system is just 36 million years old, yet it boasts no less than nine 'magma'-type planetary bodies as well as 3 inline-orbiting T-Tauri stars, presumably with early AB spectral lines. Some of the magma planets show conditions that would hint at liquid metallic composites being abundant on the surface in form of 'metal oceans', although visual scans do not currently support this claim. Further investigation would be appropriate. https://www.edsm.net/en/galactic-mapping#6/17550/0/3155|blackHole,deepSpaceOutpost,historicalLocation,historicalRoute,jumponiumRichSystem,minorPOI,mysteryPOI,nebula,neutronRoute,organicPOI,pulsar,regional,restrictedSectors,starCluster,stellarRemnant,surfacePOI,travelRoute,|112

OGLE-TR-211 OGLE-TR-211 First discovered in the early 21st century on old Earth, this system was among the first to be discovered with a transiting planet, in which the planet crosses in front of the star and reduces the brightness. It was discovered by the Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment in 2007. The system is otherwise unremarkable.

Planetary surveying technology has significantly improved in the last 1000 years, and scientists know now the transiting planet - a Class V gas-giant - has significantly less mass than early scientists believed. https://www.edsm.net/en/galactic-mapping#5/18920/0/5210|blackHole,deepSpaceOutpost,historicalLocation,historicalRoute,jumponiumRichSystem,minorPOI,mysteryPOI,nebula,neutronRoute,organicPOI,pulsar,regional,restrictedSectors,starCluster,stellarRemnant,surfacePOI,travelRoute,|307

King Midas A truly remarkable Ammonia giant some 6400 LS from its parent star. This high density planet is huge, with a gigantic ring system (itself weighing in at nearly a trillion metric tons) and the planet itself looks like it is made of solid gold (its density is actually similar to that of gold!).

Goliath's Sling The last gas giant of this system has an unusually large ring surrounding it. The outer radius: 8,660,461km.

Pamplemousse In the sparse zone of the Tenebris Region, Pamplemousse main star is a Yellow-Orange giant (more than 36 solar radius) star with two others K at proximity (less than 150ls) and a M companions stars. Such a massive star is a rarity in such a desolate region and and it's a gorgeous view against the deep black sky of the galactic fringe. You can enjoy the scenery on one of landable planet, especially the nearest (653ls) one or just refuel on this gigantic scoopable star before venturing farther in the black.

Magellan's Star Situated beyond the edge of the Perseus arm, where the Tenebris and the Perseus Fade gives way to the intergalactic void, lies Magellan's Star. This is currently believed to be the most easterly system in the galaxy, 40.503 LY east of Sol.

Void's Brink This remote system contains an Earth-Like World. It sits at the most northern point of the Perseus Arm tip, where the arm fades into the intergalactic void.

Split Nucleus Split Nucleus is a neutron star system, containing three ammonia water worlds orbiting eachother, located just 160 lightyears from the Eock Prau nebula.

While the atmospheres are thick and quite warm, they contain free nitrogen and oxygen, making it a possible terraforming target. The neutron star in the system is quite low in activity, which has allowed carbon-water based life to flourish in all three of the oceans.

The planets are all very similar in appearance and composition, with one exception being the middle planet, having an atmosphere density almost half that of the others, no Iron Magma volcanism, and being smaller in size and mass.

Eock Prau Nebula This huge red and green nebula is the last major nebula an explorer will encounter if travelling along the Sagittarius-Carina Arm towards the far galactic rim. As such it has been regarded as a "must-see" for explorers travelling in these parts. The nebula is also a waypoint of the Sagittarius-Carina Mission, with a designated landing site on a ringed and rocky ice world with a very peculiar crater. At day the frozen landscape is a stark and blinding panorama. A fitting den for the White Tiger of the West, one of the four mythological spirit creatures of ancient chinese astrology. But when night falls, the sparkling white gives way for the multitude of colors from the nebula.

Thana's Wasteland (Xuan Wu Abode) The explorer first surveying this area as part of the Sagittarius-Carina Mission wrote a scout report that really captures the unique essence of this system: "This Neutron system caught my attention with a landable HMC only 55 light seconds from the Neutron Star. Personally, this is the closest I have seen a non-icy planet orbit a Neutron Star. So I decided to land on it, and when I was down there it felt really empty, it felt like a wasteland. And that's the distinctive feature of this system. Instead of having lots of stars, colours and rare planets, it has one barely visible star, three common planets and is almost completely black. In my opinion that might be a nice change of pace, and that's why I like this system. My experience was that the system feels so empty, dead even, that it becomes a noticeable feature."

Ultima Centauri Ultima Centauri is the most easterly system ever visited by a community expedition. It marks the halfway point between Sol and Beagle Point along the Sagittarius-Carina spiral arm.

The system is located at the very far end of the Centaurus Reach, earning it the name Ultima Centauri - literally 'the last centaur' or 'at the end of Centaurus'. The name has a deeper meaning though, as the term ultima Centauri (like ultima Thule on medieval Earth) can also mean 'a place beyond the borders of the known world'. For deep space explorers traveling along the Sagittarius-Carina Arm, Ultima Centauri marks the transition between the relatively well traveled regions close to home, and the much more desolate regions of Viatori Patuit, Silentium and the Solitude Void.

It is a rather barren neutron star system, and nothing to strive for in itself. It has however become a symbol of the dogged determination of those that venture beyond the Centaurus Reach and into the seemingly endless and barren outer regions of the Sagittarius-Carina Arm; out where no spectacular nebula or star cluster awaits the weary explorer.

A landing site from the Sagittarius-Carina Mission is located on the moon of a gas giant. The position near the dark galactic rim, the close orbit of the planet to the neutron star and the peculiar color of the light - all these enhances the feeling that this is near the end of all things - even centaurs.

'Eye of Horror' Embedded within a blue planetary nebula, this K-class star is orbited by a close proximity black hole. Explorers visiting this system need to be wary of their hyperspace orientation on approach due to the possibility of exiting between the primary star and its deadly companion. https://www.edsm.net/en/galactic-mapping#5/21410/0/30230|blackHole,geyserPOI,historicalLocation,minorPOI,mysteryPOI,planetFeatures,planetaryNebula,pulsar,regional,stellarRemnant,surfacePOI|70

Roche Terminal Flimbuae GY-P D6-7 1 C A - Roche Terminal is a small 534km moon-of-a-moon in the Flimbuae GY-P D6-7 system. The system's star is a K7 IIAB giant at 36.8 solar radii, located 1000~ lightyears over the galactic plane at the south end of The Ascendance.

Roche Terminal has stunned geologists with its extreme physical characteristics, orbiting its parent at an incredibly fast 0.2 days, or 4.8 hours. From one point of the surface, distance to its parent has been measured as only 3.20 megameters, causing it to take up a very large part of the sky. It's predicted that due to this dangerously close orbit, the moon is on the verge of breaking apart due to tidal stress. Total solar eclipses happen several times a day, but are highly fleeting, starting and ending very quickly, and are often only partial, depending on where the observer is landed. Explorers are warned that the regular and sudden eclipses can pose a danger to exploration, as the object becomes extremely dark, with a thick veil of dust in low-altitude regions.

Powerful tidal heating has contributed strongly to major silicate vapour volcanism, with one site identified, at the coordinates -26.7683 -93.1863. The geysers at the site spew white smoke, with fluctuating activity, occasionally dying down completely. https://www.edsm.net/en/galactic-mapping#5/21410/0/30230|blackHole,geyserPOI,historicalLocation,minorPOI,mysteryPOI,planetFeatures,planetaryNebula,pulsar,regional,stellarRemnant,surfacePOI|1575

Sagan Springs

Planet : 10 D A
Coords : -46.3662 / -9.8458

Sagan Springs is a field of highly active water volcanism near the north end of the Norma Expanse. The site's discoverer was examining the ancient 21st century astronomer Carl Sagan's works as she was alerted by her ship's scanner to the site, leading to its name.

Sagan Springs exhibits powerful activity, with roughly half the vents in the surface being active at the same time. Jets of high pressure water burst out of the surface, quickly vaporizing into gas up to 30 meters above.

Visitors are highly advised to double-check their landing sites, as to not set down upon a seemingly dormant fissure. In addition, the highly energetic water flows can launch a SRV over 1000 meters upwards, potentially causing catastrophic damage.

Materials that can be found as deposits in the site include Chromium, Germanium, Zinc, Molybdenium, Ruthenium and Tungsten. https://www.edsm.net/en/galactic-mapping#5/16710/0/24150|blackHole,geyserPOI,historicalLocation,minorPOI,mysteryPOI,planetFeatures,planetaryNebula,pulsar,regional,stellarRemnant,surfacePOI|1565

Mairon A ringed neutron star. What makes this system interesting is the fact that it orbits a black hole, and thus making the neutron the only source of light, aside from the galactic halo, allowing for a stunning views both of the galactic core, being 1320ly above the core, and the neutron's rings. Another interesting note is that half of the ring's area is unreachable, due to the remnant's exclusion zone. https://www.edsm.net/en/galactic-mapping#5/12270/0/21750|blackHole,geyserPOI,historicalLocation,minorPOI,mysteryPOI,planetFeatures,planetaryNebula,pulsar,regional,stellarRemnant,surfacePOI|814

Great Annihilator Black Hole 20th century astronomers discovered a source of intense photons at 511 keV, which was known to be the result of positron-electron annihilation. After study determined that the source was equal to annihilation events of 10 billion tons per second of positron-electron pairs, it was dubbed The Great Annihilator. The only possible explanation was a large black hole.

Recent surveys found two black holes and a set of T-Tauri stars in orbit. The primary black hole has almost 200 solar masses and an unusually large radius of 550 kilometers. The secondary black hole has 66 solar masses and a radius around 200 kilometers. The system appears to be located in an unusually dense field of dust, obscuring most nearby stars. https://www.edsm.net/en/galactic-mapping#7/1563/0/23158|blackHole,geyserPOI,historicalLocation,minorPOI,mysteryPOI,planetFeatures,planetaryNebula,pulsar,regional,stellarRemnant,surfacePOI|8

The supermassive black hole at the centre of the galaxy.

Since modern FSD technology made it possible to travel the extreme depths of space, Sag-A* has been visited by hundreds of explorers. Some come here as part of a speed race or challenge, others to gain the experience (and credits) of scanning the most massive stellar body in the galaxy. Some come because their wanderlust drives them ever further from the regions around Sol, and others come as part of one of the many community expeditions that have made their way through this system.

Sag-A* was first reached by CMDR Zulu Romeo in late November 3300 while he was doing a scouting mission for the First Great Expedition (FGE) towards the galactic core. At the time no one expected that it would be possible to reach the galactic core before massive FSD failure would be experienced, but Zulu proved the resilience of modern drive technology by continuing on and on.

A later notable event here at the center of the galaxy, was the record breaking meet-up during the Distant Worlds Expedition of 3302.
