3 Geminorum, Farthest South Hand-Placed System (non-procedural)

Vitamin Arrr · Jul 18, 2016

I just got back from a 1-month trek to the far south to capture 3 Geminorum. Prior to jumponium it was not possible to reach.
The system features a blue supergiant with two helium giants, with exotic metal-rich moons just around the rings providing phenomal ground-based views.
It also has the only known metal-rich world with metallic rings (according to elitegalaxyonline.com). A Class IV gas giant with massive rings can also be found here, along with a Class Y dwarf (some of whose icy moons I left unexplored, in case someone else wants to make the journey and leave their name etched into the record books there).
You can view the Orrery of the system at EliteGalaxyOnline with this link using the Chrome browser: http://www.elitegalaxyonline.com/orrery/?system_id=4206

Of course you post this a day after I leave for Jaques. Oh well.
Thanks a lot for the info, and nice screenshots! You might want to move them to an album on Imgur, and link that here - they would be easier to view.
Oh, and about ringed Metal-Rich worlds: they are rare, but I remember coming across several. Only one of those had metallic rings though - but unfortunately, I don't think I have the system's name anymore. Anyway, nice metal find!
