Name: Izanami's Wolves
Game map search ref: HYPIO GREE AA-A H505
Description: A rare star cluster of Wolf-Rayet stars, over 200 in the IZANAMI region just across RYKER'S HOPE. The cluster of them stretches about 3,000ly in every direction from the reference system. With one super dense area within the 3,000ly being the reference system where there are over 50 of them within 500ly of each other. It might be the most dense area of Wolf-Rayet stars out there to date. I came across this undiscovered patch of Wolf-Rayets during the DW2 expedition. Note that many of these Wolf-Rayet systems have multiple Wolfs within them. A rare star with this many of them in an area must be a cluster haha. If you want a Wolf star you should definitely visit this unique cluster of them and surrounding areas.

Name: Siberian Wolf
Game map search ref: HYPIO GREE AA-A H159
Description: The new coldest surface temp ever recorded for a Wolf-Rayet NC star, at just 6,224K!!! Because of the cool temp it gives the star the appearance of a G star. Discovered in the Izanami's Wolves cluster during DW2.

Description:	In Ryker's Hope you can find this black hole with two close stars. One T Tauri is only 4 ls away and one B star 22 ls away. The black hole will distort the backdrop stars but not the Tauri star itself. Be cautious when getting close to it since heat will build up fast.

Name:	Rings of Völund
Game map search ref:	PHUA AUB NT-X C15-6887 13
Description:	The outermost planet in the system is well worth a visit for it's almost disappearingly thin rings. The inner most can only barely be seen when getting close to the planet. Filled with diamonds, opals, alexandrite and bromelite it's also worth a visit for long distance miners. Named after the smith Völund from norse mythology.

Name:	Terra's Litter & Runt
Game map search ref:	Athaip MY-H d10-7815
Description:	About 24,000 Ls from the main Neutron star is an M-class red dwarf star with 9 celestial bodies orbiting around it. 7 of the 9 bodies are candidates for terraforming, even the moons orbiting planet B 5 and B 6 respecively. Planet 3, nicknamed "Runt" is a non-terraformable high metal content world that is orbited by an Earth-like world that is tidally locked to its parent body.

[CMDR Roy Cookson]

Name:	Hermes' Halo
Game map search ref:	Kyloaln AA-A h627 AB 5
Description:	A black hole and neutron star form the core of this system. Orbiting these and of special interest is a second neutron star, ringed, whose massive cerulean blue outer ring has a radius of just over 2.9 million kilometers. This ringed neutron star is itself orbited by a class M star. It is tempting and possible to map the neutron star's rings to better mine their bounty, however, one must approach perilously close to the neutron star's exclusion zone in order to do so. This system was discovered during the 3306 Distant Screws expedition to Colonia and Sagittarius A*.

Description: Planetary features

Incredible discovery for its similarity to planet Earth and its position in the galaxy.

At 967.1 light years above Sagittarius A * in the center of the galaxy, he discovered an Earth-like planet with a breathable atmosphere and incredibly similar indigenous life forms to our Earth. It has a radius of 5,412Km, only 15% less than our Earth, but with a gravity almost similar to 0.95G, an atmospheric pressure of 1.04 on its surface and an average temperature of 273 kelvin (287.2 Earth), it is ideal for life based on water. The atmospheric composition is 84.7% nitrogen and 15.1% oxygen (78% nitrogen and 21% oxygen in the earth). The orbital period to its star (the system has three) is 258.3 days and its rotation period is 2.8 days.

Also, it has a moon very similar to ours!

In the second star there are 2 candidate planets to be terraformed.

It is still significant to discover a planet so similar and at the same time singular where it would be possible and at the same time strategic to establish human life.

A must for explorers visiting Sagittarius A *

Hi I have found a system with 13 Gas Giants. The EDSM Entry for Tr 24 Sector JH-K b38-0 shows it as being the current record holder according to the Galactic Mapping project. How would I find out if my system is a new record?

 

[LCU No Fool Like One]

Looks like Nuekuae MS-A b17-19 h has 22 Gas giants https://www.edsm.net/en/system/bodies/id/35057632/name/Nuekuae+MS-A+b17-19

So the entry for Tr 24 Sector JH-K b38-0 https://www.edsm.net/en/system/id/193753/name/Tr+24+Sector+JH-K+b38-0 needs to be archived and replaced

Game map search ref:	Omicron Velorum
Description:	An open cluster in the constellation Vela, about 500 ly from Sol; it is one of the most bright open cluster in the night sky from the Earth's south emisphere.
Screenshot reference:	In the image, taken from Synuefe Hi-W B49-10 system, the cluster is the group of 5 square shaped star (Omicron Velorum is the lowest right point) plus the other two bright star on the right and the more faint blue star in the middle of the image, symmetrical placed with respect of the main cluster. The main cluster's star are (from lowest right in counterclock wise) Omicron Velorum HR 3448 HIP 42459 HIP 42726 HIP 42715 The faintest one is HR 3435 and the two upper right star are (from lowest) HIP 42504 and HR 3503

A few days ago I found a system extremely similar to that:
3 ELW (including a binary pair)
2 WW (both terraformable)
Multiple other terraformables. Binary star system.

Moon 2A is located partially in the rings of its parent and is moving fast enough that you can only land on it by flying into its orbital path. Also has multiple geo sites.
