POI Submission

Name: Ice on fire
Ref: Wimly LN-B D0 11
Description: This ringed Ammonia world is a beauty in itself, but what makes it really special are the rings. Two rings, one metal rich and one icy, with the icy ring spinning really fast around the Ammonia world. This sight is truly mesmerizing.

New POI Submission

POI Name: The Opalescent Giants
POI Type: Stellar Feature
Galmap ref: Eorl Braea AA-A h58

Desc: While initial entry into the system may not dangerous the first time, that doesn’t mean entry won’t be dangerous a second or a third. Visitors to this system would be able to view a much fabled Blue-White Supergiant, however it isn't even the main star. In fact it is the third of four stars dancing around each other. Upon arrival, it's likely the twin Wolf-Rayets will be the first made out with the Supergiant looming dangerously close by.

Wary explorers could easily find themselves surrounded by three, scorching opalescent giants if they're not careful or prepared to deal with excessive heat. And, all the while, an O Class star peeks in from the distance, as if to wait its turn.

POI SUBMISSION

Name: Black Harmony
Game map search ref: HD 222464

Description: This system was discovered in 3303, where a commander using modern days technology in frame shift drives, managed to reach this system, which until then, was only known by its cartographics name, HD 222464. The moment he exited hyperspace, he knew that something was different in this system and when he discovered all of its bodies, its various planets but also eleven stars and a black hole, a very old story came to his mind. The story of the Black Harmony.
This story is about a black hole that was put in the system by others than humans, for plain fun. It is said that when they saw all those stars, they 've decided to throw the black hole there, to create chaos. Things didn't go as they expected, because the black hole was really impressed by the kindness and the beauty of the stars that she saw there. She now for ever sits there in perfect harmony, surrounded by her family!

On the photo below you can see 8 stars in the horizon far away, where the 6 appear to be allmost aligned, and the 2 on the left you see them through the black hole! Photo is taken from planet BC 3 A B.

**************
- The system is 2.346 LY far from SOL and it has 11 stars and a black hole! I tried and pushed as far as i could below the galactic plane at that point using synthesis, and this was the last system, which i guess was my reward at the end of my little journey. Hope this system is cool enough to be my first POI.

Hyponia border summary, from the Aronnax Expedition
Map Ref: Wembuia HD-Z d1-39

In late October 3303 the Aronnax Expedition arrived at the borders of Hyponia and conducted a survey for signs of spacefaring activity, as well as outdoor worlds and systems with all the materials needed for FSD boosting ('green' systems). A suitable location for a 'Forward Base' was discovered just under 1 KLY from the border: Wembuia HD-Z d1-39 hosts an Earth-like World and has several 'green' systems nearby, including its nearest neighbour. Notable findings included an Earth-like World with one of the densest atmospheres known, with 4.32 bars of pressure, Pha Flaae QZ-N c20-76 5. Detailed findings on the region are given in the expedition journal here: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showt...x-Expedition?p=6110377&viewfull=1#post6110377

Name: Balla Beag (Little Wall)
Game map search ref: Glufoa IR-N d6-0 4A between -40.189 / -123.859 and -40.473 / -123.925
Description: A vertical cliff edge that runs across a crater forming a barrier. Clearly visible on the ground radar during final approach. It appears to be the result of a tectonic shift that has abruptly broken the surface of the moon. The coordinates given at the where 'wall' merges back into the ground becoming indistinguishable from other terrain features.

Green System / Jumpoinium System - End of Requests

EDSM has now added the ability to show systems that provide all jumponium material near the pilot.

Use the advanced search option after logging in to EDSM. All systems that are green will show with an icon next to the system name.

Therefore we are no longer taking submissions for Jumponium Depots as POIs. Thank you to everyone who contributed in the past!

POI Name: Attenborough's Watch
POI Type: Asteroid Base
GalMap Ref: Lagoon Sector FW-W d1-122

Desc: "Located on the opposite side of the Lagoon Nebula from the earlier outpost of Amundsen Terminal, this asteroid base is run by the democratically controlled Lagoon Research Associates. The crew and staff of 2500 are engaged in scientific research of the water-based life of the gas giant which the base orbits. The asteroid appears to have been boosted out of the main asteroid belt for better observation conditions. The base is itself named after Richard Attenborough, a decorated and influential naturalist of the 20th century. The base offers all services except ship outfitting and a shipyard."

you need to update your information

POI SUBMISSION

Name: Draco Rufus Claim
Game map search ref: Hypaa Proae BV-P d5-13 (click link for system info on EDSM.

Located to the northeast of the Anthor Patch region, a trek up from the Colonia bubble, this system is home to a Red Giant star and a class M red dwarf. The M Red Dwarf is home to an earth like world (Hypaa Proae BV-P d5-13 B 2) with a gravity level and temperature ideal for human colonization. The system is also home to two water worlds orbiting the red dwarf.

All three planets have a view of the two stars on their skyline, with the red giant being most prominent in the night sky despite being 15,000ls away from the M dwarf.

The Giant itself has several landable bodies, including one within 300ls of the star providing striking surface views for far reaching tourists.

The system was scouted in November of 3303 as part of a solo expedition by Nolanus Raven, as a stopover on an extended trip to the Ishtar and Wagar's Reach regions. The name was chosen from the latin for Red Dragon.

As a side note, EDSM doesn't show a description for that system (or the name). I have the name from the EDD 3D map, so I'm not sure which location is correct.

Further update for the Expedition Hub. The Minerva Centaurus Expedition has now reached 100 sign ups!
Could you put something like 100+ in the box? Since there may be more sign ups in the next week, and we won't have to change it again

 

[Han Zulu]

I found a Herbig Ae/Be star in close orbit with a B class (blue-white) star, which is pretty cool because it produces a blue sphere on one side and a red on the other, so if there was any naming of this system, I'd call it "Red vs Blue"

Minor POI, procedural nebula (not planetary)

Name:
Blue Ink in Pink

Game map search ref:
BLUE EAEWSY CB-W E2-631

Description:
A beautiful little nebula with a black hole in its heart. Looking at it from the right angle it looks like a few droplets of blue ink had just been dropped into pink ink and are now blossoming and slowly disipating and mixing with the pink. Frozen in eternity at just the right moment.
More surprising is that this little gem lies on the way from Sol to the Colonia domain and was only ever visited by two comanders before.
First discovered by CMDR Delvan

-------------------------

Naming is by permission of discoverer. I asked CMDR Delvan for the honour of naming it.
He said when he came by this system EDSM didn't even exist yet. And CMDR John41 submitted it to EDSM more that a year ago.

Cheers CMDR Karaya

POI Submission: Planetary feature/Possible Tourism Candidate

Name: Dudael (Cauldron of God)

Galmap: S171 37 8

Description:
Located within the NGC 7822 nebula, with 1,398 Earth masses, a surface temperature of 33,501K, and a surface pressure of nearly 38.9 billion atmospheres, this is possibly one of the most inhospitable planets in the galaxy. Not only can people marvel at the extreme nature of this planet, but they can also admire its beautiful set of rings basking in the purple light of its giant O class sun.

I realized I should have done a proper post with description and everything.

POI Submission: Twin star of a Herbig Ae/Be star (protostar, very rare) and a B class (blue-white) star

Name: Red versus Blue

Map Reference: Eowyg Aewsy AL-P e5-0

Description:
The system contains three stars, but the two main stars, a Herbig Ae/Be star (very rare), and a B class star orbits each other very closely. The orbital period is about 0.6 days, and the distance between them is less than 0.1 AU. The age of all stars are only 2 million years. What makes it a point of interest is that the protostar is quite bright (luminosity Vz) and gives a red shine, while the B star gives a blue light, and if you place yourself right you can really see the red versus blue lights.
