Funniest / Weirdest systems you've came across on your ED journey by far!

[Denneb]

GRU PHIO EL-Y E21 is a neutron star system I ran across 4-5 years ago with a Class V gas giant just 1.3 million miles away on a 0.4 day orbit. The planet is so close to the neutron star and so hot, it outshines any star I had ever seen in the game -- when I entered the system, I was greeted with such a bright flash that I jumped out of my chair.

They've made some graphical changes over the years, so I'm not sure what it looks like now, but this is what I captured at the time:

Man, I think you are the cmdr who is reported to have passed by Raxxla, honked, and left.....

i thought we did this yesterday and Koch Dock (kappa Ophiuchi) won?

Have you been to Kunti? They offer piscine delights.

The Raxxla system. It's a funny system because it doesn't exist.

 

[Darth Ender]

Oh snap! No he didn't!

A very warmly welcoming name.

One of the funny systems I've once come across in 140hours of Elite was called "Phanes", the system has a carrier named Skuzzlebutt or something like that and a ELW planet named "Wilde's World", a very interesting system I might add. There is one that I know the name of but maybe someone else knows about it and wants to share it, the first planet, a landable one, is so close to its star that is literally in its corona... you may need a few heatsinks to land there.

Share your own uncommon system here!

Let's not mention the system of 'Kuk'.

(Which is a Norwegian slangword for male genitalia.)

Spoiler

Rumor has it that it's full of black holes.

The craziest system I've ever passed through is HIP 63835.
It's crammed FULL of Stars, Dwarfs, Gas Giants & Black Holes (one of which is literally right next to the main star in the system and the other two appear to be in a binary orbit with more bodies orbiting them).
I remember the first time i passed through it while doing a bit of exploring and thinking to myself "What the hell is going on here?!"

Interesting! If you look at the galactic map, you will notice an obvious glow around this system that you don’t normally see around other stars in the area. It’s a nice attention to detail that this high concentration of stars is actually visually identified on the map.

 

[Darth Ender]

fuzzies are related to a certain star type (as the main star) rather than a marker for the concentration of stars in a system.

Best seafood in the 'Verse. The soft shelled clams are to DIE for!

You guys like dining out in dirty seafood smelling systems. (shakes head) ... That's not how good food should smell or taste.

I don't think they're talking about food.

You ever been to Haghole? Smells a bit...musty.

Durr. neither was i.

Not the kind of food you're thinking of buddy. This is premium cuisine!
