Name:	Land of Giant Crystals
Game map search ref:	Eol Prou KW-L c8-32 - 4 A (36.96, 171.00)
Description:	POI Type: Organic Feature POI At the chosen location of the start of the Land of Giants Expedition (9 July 3303 - 9 August 3303) is a cluster of Water Geysers. However, dotted around these geysers are some unusual crystalline growths. These can be found in the forms of Crystalline Fragments and Crystalline Clusters. These crystal structures are often found growing where the local volcanic activity breaks the surface. In addition, some of these geysers have enough force to launch an SRV over 2km off the surface of this icy moon.

Hm, this presents a challenge. It's organic, but it's also geyser/fumarole.

POI Name: Fireflies
POI Type: Stellar Feature
Galmap ref: 2MASS J02351897+6131236

Desc: "Part of the IC 1805 cluster, this system is swarming with stellar objects. The high-mass O-type is in a nested binary pair with no less than three different black holes ranging from 9.4 to 31.3 solar masses. What really makes this system stand out are the five K-class stars and nine M-class stars, including one with a rare ring system. From the surface of one of the landable planets these stars will appear to flitter and fly across the sky during their orbits, giving the appearance of a field of fireflies."

I do not see that being organic, it is a field of water geysers, all of them have some crystal growth ?

 

[Heavy Johnson]

Minor Update

After discussion with other staff, reverted new Guardian sites, and existing sites in Regor zone renamed to indicate they are limits of where those sites are found.

I do not see that being organic, it is a field of water geysers, all of them have some crystal growth ?

Baton, is it just water geysers that have crystal growth? Are crystals found by themselves? Sorry, I don't understand some of the geological features very well.

POI Name: NGC 188
POI Type: Star Cluster
Galmap ref: V785 Cephei (will need trilateration)

Desc: "NGC 188 is an open cluster in the constellation Cepheus. It was discovered by John Herschel in 1825. This is a very old open cluster of almost 6.8 billion years, and has drifted apart from the rest of the galaxy. The several hundred cluster stars are almost universally K-class and M-class bodies. Due to the distance of the cluster above the galactic plane, there are no known visitors to this cluster."

All geysers or whatever have crystal growth, nothing to do with organics. This is done purely for playability so if you find the site you can gather some materials as a bonus I think.

POI: NGC 281
Galmap Ref: BD+55 191

Desc added: "The central system of the nebula is BD+55 191, and contains an unusual four O-class stars. All are very massive, giving a total system of 386 solar masses. The composite luminosity is 114 million times greater than Sol, placing it among the most luminous systems known. "

Ninj'd of course, Organic sites will contain growths such as cordycep growths, [FONT=&quot]Polyporous growth, Mussedaen Seed pod and Phloem Excretion.[/FONT]

Are organic sites located the same way that geysers are?

Name: Dryo Chraea Tri-M Depot

Game map search ref: DRYO CHRAEA RR-W C1-14

Description: This is a system that contains 3 M class stars. The main M-Class star has 8 planets with 7 of them land-able. All the materials needed for all 3 FSD jumponium can be found upon the surface of these planets which are fairly close to the M(1) Star with the furthest planet and the only one holding Yttrium being at a distance of 232 LS away. This system can be helpful for travelers through the Mare Desperationis to stock up in case they encounter some of the dead zones located in that region as they circumnavigate the outer rim.

Although not necessary to travel to the M(2) or M(3) stars, I have listed their contents as well for reference. The distance between M(2) and M(3) is only about 950 ls.

I was looking for a specific PoI and couldn't find it in EDSM.

Unless I'm mistaken, Kyloalks DL-Y g17 4 isn't in the PoI directory.

Kyloalks DL-Y g17 is the home of "The Mighty". The current record holder for the highest gravity landable planet.
Discovered by CMDR Duck of death. It's 9.9G and there is a Tourist beacon orbiting the planet.
Tourist Spot 0621: Commander Duck of Death believes this is the highest gravity found on an airless world - can you disprove this claim?

Sorry if I missed the disscusion, what do we do with naming the geysers? There are known sites areas with more than 10 of them, we cannot possibly get decent unique name to each one? Will just system name do?

If you have more than one submission per system, submit them all under one POI. Only one picture is necessary. We will list all the locations in the system, inside the POI, up to a maximum of five* per system. Of course, we would prefer you normally only submit the best ones you find.

* I just made this up, but it seems reasonable.

POI: Rho Cassiopeiae

Desc change: "Rho Cassiopeiae is a rare yellow hypergiant. With a size of 450 solar radii it is also among the most luminous yellow stars known. It is a long-term semiregular variable, with large drops in luminosity observed in 1893, 1946, and 2001.

The system also contains a binary class-B star and a few smaller bodies (including one landable world). Because of it's location deep in the Formidine Rift and well below the galactic plane, a long range ship and several FSD injections are required to visit. "
