Less a weird system as an amazing one:
12 terraformable worlds in one system! (including 4 water worlds)

Some kind of record?
I did wonder but could not find one for general terraformable.
and there I was thinking the 4 I found was an achievement. I'll get my coat.
what a great find!
The record is over 120 stellar bodies. My pb is 108.
Wow!
I need to do some more searching!
Is there somewhere that collates records for easy searching?

Everything is there. There is also a thread in Dangerous discussion.

Absent moons and rings
I don't know if there are records for either of these things but the illustrated system, somewhere in the heart of DRYAA PRA (OK not to be coy, it is DRYAA PRA FH-U E3-4089) might be a candidate for two possible categories if there are...
Category One : "Lonely Giants". The system with the highest ratio of giant bodies to moons for those bodies (i.e. moon poor). So for this one the score would be 14/5 = 2.8 (counting only true satellites and true "giant" bodies that would be expected to have satellites). I guess the problem with this record is that it only takes one three body system to break it and its more interesting to recognise the absolute number of satellite poor bodies in one system, so it needs some more thought if I'm to wheedle a record out of this
Category Two : "What No Rings (Giants)?". The system with the most giant bodies without a ring system. So this one scores 14. You could have a variant of "What No Rings?" counting all bodies and that would be interesting too, but since it is mostly the Giants that host rings I think the illustrated system is remarkable in this respect.

Actually before making this post I hadn't surveyed all that many B class stars and it looked unusual but in the last hour I've visited several more and I'm thinking the above pattern is actually fairly typical for class B stars so perhaps not as weird as I thought. Ah, well, just goes to show there's more variety in the galaxy than it seems! Sorry for a "boring" weird system!
OK, so maybe not the weirdest system of this thread (by a long shot), but this is certainly one that made me frown:
An unexplored Neutron star, which I found only 500 Ly above the galactic plane.... with a terraformable water world that has a terraformable rocky moon. Imagine living there.
Lovely, if not eerie, view though.

Ellipsoid class I gas giant orbiting a white dwarf.
I don't think it's a glitch as the giant's neighbour is pretty spherical. The egg's orbital period of 0.4 days compared to close to 90k earth masses may account for its shape.
