The beautiful home system of Alchemy Den, complete with an amazing sight of a ringed Earth like in binary orbit with a gas giant. This system has breathtaking views, tons of installations, and is home to our wonderful group. The start of the expedition will leave you breathless, and it will truly be a site to behold.
Deep below the galactic plane rests Little Red Riding Hood, a lonely M3 IIIAB Red Giant. Little Red Riding Hood is located in a void between stars, a spherical empty pocket of space roughly 70 light years in diameter, which is difficult to traverse without jumponium. A nearby White Dwarf system assists on the departure from the void. The system itself contains one planet, a solo terraformable water world orbiting a secondary star. This planet basks in the warm red light light coming from the Red Giant. This system was first discovered by the SHEPARD Mission in late 3302.
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. The sector around the nebula also has a lot of crystals of all types: metallic, ice, silicate - and large population of Bullet Molluscs. Despite their small size and relative harmlessness, some species actually try to banish alien objects from their habitat by following them and emitting EMP, which interferes ship's systems and causes slight damage, so visitors should be careful studying these molluscs
A large collection of Notable Stellar Phenomena containing icy and metallic crystals spread out over a couple dozen systems in a relatively small area. Named the Smoj crystal fields because it straddles the Smoju and Smojaea sectors
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. At coordinates -4.347, -93.587 a silicate vapour geyser volcanic field can be located.
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.
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. The system is named in honour of Ferdinand Magellan one of old Earth's great explorers.
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 150 ls) 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 (653 ls) one or just refuel on this gigantic scoopable star before venturing farther in the black.
A blue & purple planetary nebula, located in the Sagittarius Arm near the Eta Carina nebula, with a Neutron star, class M star, a couple of Gas Giants and many terrestrial planets. Among the terrestrials you can find a Water World, an Earth-Like World and an Ammonia World. The discoverer claims that majestic structures can be seen on the surface of these planets, some floating on water and even in the air. Thus, he named it the Three Worlds Nebula. However, it has been suggested that the discoverer spent too much time inside the magical looking nebula and started seeing things as a result. Later visits by the explorers taking part in the Sagittarius-Carina Mission has neither confirmed nor denied these claims.
An Explorer by the name of Arburich Discovered a unique "Electrical Lagrange Cloud" (the first of its kind) nestled close to an Earth-Like in this system, sparking a voyage of discovery across the galactic plane to discover more phenomena as such.
NGC 3211 is a small blue planetary nebula in Carina and below most of the galactic plane. It was discovered by John Herschel on Mar 7th, 1837. The nebula offers a good view of the nearby Eta Carina nebula. The nebula is unusual for having as the host star a high-age A-class star with rocky bodies. A-class stars are not known to give off mass in such a way as to cause this type of nebula. Astrophysicists can only speculate as to what caused the current arrangement.
Hey... This feels familiar...
Returning this year in New Year, New Discoveries, we are adding a Bounty Board to the expedition. Below, you will find things that we are dolling out bounties for within the expedition, for what would "New Discoveries" be without, well, New Discoveries!
If you happen to be the first to find a bounty, you will be given the honor of being placed on the bounty list as the bounty's Lead Pioneer along with the picture you've taken of the spot. Don't worry, if you aren't the first, you can still get a partial reward for finding it!
If a Bounty is marked as "undiscovered", it means the system has to be untouched with no one claiming it's discovery yet. If a bounty is marked "Green", that means it is still active. If it is marked "Purple", that means a discovery was made and future discoveries will be given partial rewards.
NYND waypoints and codex entries do not count. This system is honor based, so please dont google things for bounties.
