This system contains every habitat that humanity can terraform and colonize

A small planetary nebula rich in red and green colours, it is centred on a young star system composed of a lonely B star.

A system with all raw mats needed for synth.

A double-lobed blue planetary nebula situated on the near edge of the Perseus arm, approx. 11,000 LYs from Sol.

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.

The Dancing Dwarfs are one binary and one trinary system with B type stars (and one F). What is remarkable is that three of these B types are indeed type VI stars, so-called "Hot Subdwarfs".

Seven major terrestrial planets, of which a total of six are suitable for terraforming.

Extremely hot planet with distance of only 1.25Ls from the main star. Heat Warning!

Huge "Golden" AW!

Routing point to an area near Magellan's Star.

This is currently believed to be the most easterly system in the galaxy, 40.503 LY east of Sol. aka: Magellan's Star

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. The location of this world warrants the construction of a scientific colony with optical and radio observatories due to the clear and unobstructed view it has of the distant Magellanic Clouds. The FGE/IGER consortium have expressed an interest in undertaking such a venture.

Pamplemousse main star is a Yellow-Orange giant.

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

This small black hole (around 2.75 solar masses) at the end of the Perseus Transit region is a rarity in this region of low star density and a good beacon to the vacuum that awaits you if you continue to descend the Perseus arm to the Tenebris Region. At 35413 ly from Sol and 38046 ly from Sagittarius A*, you can play with the effects of gravitational lenses on the distant light of our galaxy.

For strong sensation lovers, you could also dive in the ice canyon of PLA AICK GA-A E1 2 A, only lighted by distant stars.

This Ammonia world, with 0.4936 Earth masses, a radius of 6,265 KM, a surface temperature of 188K, surface pressure of 74.27 atmospheres, and an atmosphere consisting of 96.4% Nitrogen and 3.6% Argon, orbits her Type-K parent star at a distance of slightly over 1AU. Scans indicate single cellular level life on Zoe, with no signs of anything more advanced.

Note: A point to start crossing the Orion Spur Shallows. You may have to continue west if the next wp can't be plotted.

This Orion Spur Shallows star system contains a Water Giant with a Jovian Gas Giant moon orbiting it. The Gas Giant moon has it's own set of three ice moons of it's own.

This planetary nebula is located within the Carina constellation. The nebula itself is beautiful to behold, but the system contains no landable planets (or planets at all!). However, a nearby system contains a multitude of landable worlds just waiting to be explored, and was thus suggested as a landing site for the Sagittarius-Carina Mission.

Ripley Harbor is a binary star system located in the middle of the Centaurus Reach, composed of a main F0 VI and K9 VA. While several of the planets are very hot, Venus-like scorchers, the system contains an Earth-like and a total of six water worlds, two orbiting the class F, and four around the class K.

The class F has a stormy super-Earth at 7646km radius and 2.1 masses. It has a comfortable 297 kelvin average temperature, a very favourable atmospheric composition at 0.75atm, but a high 1,53g gravity.

The K-class star's water worlds are at a fair temperature and comfortably low gravity, but suffer from low atmosphere density and dangerous dioxides, necessitating respiration gear and skin protection at the surface. Underwater habitation may be highly suitable.

The ninth, earth-sized planet around the class K has a very unusual axial tilt at 89 degrees, causing the icy poles to be pointed directly at the sun for large amounts of time in its orbit. While this planet has a healthy nitrogen-oxygen composition and solid 1.21 gravity, it suffers from a cold 222 kelvin average temperature, a presence of carbon dioxide, and somewhat dense atmosphere, at 2.02 atm. This planet could likely be inhabited, but the low and wildly varying temperature, poisonous atmosphere and extremely long days would strongly test its first explorers.

The system's gas giant with icy moons has not been explored by its discoverer, however the gas giant displays very high oblateness.

Binary star system with the two stars being twin Herbigs.

Binary star system. The primary is a peculiar B-star similar to a luminous blue variable that initially had around 150 solar masses and has since lost at least 30. Because of its mass and the stage of its life, it is expected to explode as a supernova or hypernova in the astronomically near future. This is currently the only star known to produce ultraviolet laser emission. The secondary star is hot and also highly luminous, of spectral class O, around 30 times as massive as Sol.

Previously a 4th-magnitude star, it brightened in 1837 to become brighter than Rigel marking the start of the Great Eruption. Eta Carinae became the second-brightest star in the sky between 11 and 14 March 1843 before fading well below naked eye visibility after 1856. In a smaller eruption, it reached 6th magnitude in 1892 before fading again. It has brightened consistently since about 1940, becoming brighter than magnitude 4.5 by 2014.

The Spiral Planetary Nebula (NGC 5189) is the result of the expulsion of material from Wolf-Rayet star KN Muscae. This Wolf-Rayet is of unusually low mass, indicating it may have shed most outer layers and be near the end of its' current phase of life. 21st century astronomers identified a white-dwarf companion star; as of 3303, this companion could not be found.

Due to the light hues of this nebula, it is difficult to see from inside the nebula and best observed from a nearby star system.

NGC 6302, also called the Bug Nebula, Butterfly Nebula, is a bipolar planetary nebula in the constellation Scorpius. The structure in the nebula is among the most complex ever observed in planetary nebulae.

Discovered in the days before planetary landings was possible, this system was highlighted as interesting candidate to study just HOW close a planet and its moon may orbit each other. Would it be possible to build a bridge from one to the other?

After planetary landings became possible, a landing site for the Sagittarius-Carina Mission was scouted on a very high plateau topped with wavy dunes.

A ringed rocky world isn't that special on first glance. However, it resides only 119 Ls from its parent Neutron star. This means the world is lit up like a white t-shirt under a blacklight, making for a visually very striking approach. It gets even better when entering the rings and looking towards the star: the ejection conus is still cleary visible

This blue planetary nebula was discovered by John Herschel, British polymath and son of the legendary astronomer William Herschel, on July 2, 1835. From Sol, the nebula's main star appears unusually "swollen" for its Wolf-Rayet class, but 20th Century astronomers theorized -- and FSD-enabled exploration has since confirmed -- that this is an optical illusion caused by a shell of extremely bright gas at the core of the nebular cloud. The star is orbited by three ringed high metal content worlds and a fourth high metal content world locked in a binary orbit with a ringed gas giant.

NGC 5979 is a planetary nebula of a little over ⅔ of a light-year across, located in the southern constellation of Triangulum Australe (the Southern Triangle). On the third planet in the system, the unique mix of the colors from the dying star and the nebula combine to give the nightside that magical greenish-yellow purple colour... In this location is a registered landing site of the Sagittarius-Carina Mission.

Hawking's Gap Abandoned Settlements - Alpha Site Note: there are three other sites near by, check EDSM's map for more details!

Located in the Norma Expanse, this dense system has 144 different bodies. 54 different landable bodies and two water worlds are located among the chaos of this system.

Nykk is located in the Circanus Transit. A ternary system with a neutron main, Nykk once held the galactic record for having the most water worlds of any discovered system. The seven waterworlds are hosted by a type M star approximately 70,000 ls from the arrival point.

The system is named "Nykk", after the water spirits of Norwegian mythology.

This system hosts a very unusual dark pink colored Class III gas giant with a large ring

Named for "Five" in the Bosnian language, Petica is a terraformable water world located in the Circinus Transit. The planet harbors a strange group of five recurring storm systems, arranging themselves to form in a shape very similar to the "5" side on playing dice. The planet's fairly quick rotation time of 0.7 days ensure the light coverage changes often.

A superstition among explorers claims that the five storms' visibility on arrival can foretell a traveler's future. If you arrive and "roll" a good dice, where the five storms are fully visible, you are set to make a safe and fruitful journey. However, if the storms are fully in darkness, an adventurer will find themselves in treacherous travels.

Planet : 8 D A Coords : -51.9411 / 105.4576 The Smokehole is a site of silicate geyser activity. Available rare materials include Arsenic, Cadmium, Ruthenium and Tin.

Arriving at the right time can grant you a stunning view of the much larger white moon it's orbiting quite closely.

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.

A prominent and large nebula situated towards the 'western' edge of Scutum-Centaurus arm. One of the first major 4th Quadrant nebula's discovered. One of the systems (Eock Bluae TW-V C2-0) within the nebula contains a beautiful Earth-Like world (nicknamed 'Douglas World') that due to its stunning nebulous backdrop, may one day become a very distant tourism candidate once atmospheric shielding allows planet-side exploration.

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.

You will find five Black Holes and one completely black planet made of ice in this very dark and scary system. Three of these black holes are in close proximity to each other, seemingly form one massive scary black hole conflux.

Ultima Centauri marks the halfway point between Sol and Beagle Point along the Sagittarius-Carina spiral arm. It was the most easterly waypoint of the Sagittarius-Carina Mission - the first community expedition from Sol to the far galactic rim.

25 celestial objects are orbiting the primary Herbig star of this system. For reasons unknown, all of these have established binary or trinary orbits. The only exception is an Earth-Like World that does an ordinary single orbit in this conundrum of a system.

The Buoy is a distinctive binary B-star system that acts as a navigational marker for explorers in this region of the arm. It was surveyed as part of the Sagittarius-Carina Mission, but was found to contain only a single large ice world in addition to the two main stars. That world has been described as a dangerous and ominous place with large areas enveloped in thick haze. When you get in close, you see the terrible landing conditions.
