New POI

POI Name: PSR J1856-3754
Galmap Ref: PSR J1856-3754
POI Type: Pulsar

Description: "PSR J1856-3754 (also called RX J185635-3754, RX J185635-375, and various other designations) is a nearby neutron star in the constellation Corona Australis. Discovered in 1992, it is one of the 'Magnificent Seven', a group of young neutron stars at distances between 200 and 500 parsecs (652 and 1630 light years) of Earth.

The pulsar was once suspected to be a quark star, a hypothetical type of compact exotic star composed of quark matter, where extremely high temperature and pressure forces nuclear particles to dissolve into a continuous phase consisting of free quarks. Later observations determined it did not have sufficient temperature and size for this type of star.

Survey in July 3303 revealed that the system is actually two pulsars in close orbit, along with a companion B-class star and two L-class dwarves. The primary pulsar is currently the hottest known stellar object, with a surface temperature of 985,067,520 kelvin. "

POI Name: Hansel and Gretel
POI Type: Stellar Features/Jumponium Rich
GalMap Ref: Jongoae MI-B D13-1 (Hansel) and Hypi AED MA-A D0 (Gretel)


Description: This pair Red Giant stars is located in portion of the Outer Arm Vacuus that requires an Engineered ship and many FSD boosts to reach. Separated by only 300ly they may be the furthest known giants from Sagittarius A* at 42,790.47Ly and 42,853Ly respectivly. Additionally, the Hansel system is also jumponium rich allowing explorers traveling to the furthest reaches of the Outer Arm to stock up on FSD boosts. The names are taken from the Brothers Grimm tale of Hansel and Gretel.

Hansel is larger and contains all the materials required to craft Jumponium, but is stranded in an area of space that is difficult to reach similar to Hansel in the cage being fattened by the old Hag.
Gretel is smaller, but surrounded by many stars in an otherwise barren area of space, reminiscent of the Hag's cottage made of sweets.


The Jumponium contents of Hansel's system:

WATER GIANT.


I discovered this as part of the Mobius Exploration Corps Group expededition to the Skaudai

region to survey the ancient ruins and surrounding Nebula.

I have had difficulty in finding any similar reference apart from some Reddit posts from a

couple of years ago.I would like it referenced to as if possible 'SPINX'who was a goddess

ammongst men from another world.

WATER GIANT.

Water giants, while rare, are not unique enough to form a POI by themselves. Is there anything else significantly unusual or notable about this giant or system to merit a POI?

Description: The furthest reachable points along the Outer Arm. These systems are especially difficult to reach as they require a heavily engineered ship and the patience to plot 3000ly of jumps manually. The shortest route to these points require about 3000ly worth of various FSD boosts. If attempting the trip it is highly recommended to bring a ship with 50ly+ of jump range.

Quite an endurance run to get all the way out there! Could you supply us with more details about your route, and what is to found out there or along the way?

Quite an endurance run to get all the way out there! Could you supply us with more details about your route, and what is to found out there or along the way?

One of the most interesting aspects is that I haven't come across a single star that I haven't been able to scoop. I also found a pair of Red Giant stars that I posted on the previous page. One of those giants was in a rather strange cluster of stars that didn't require any FSD boosts to reach; it was a welcome oasis in the otherwise empty areas around it. To be honest I'm not sure there's any other location in the Galaxy that requires as many FSD boosts and manual plotting to reach. Skirting the outer reaches of the Galaxy requires quite a bit of Jumponium, but those are almost always within 1kly of a faster route.

It took me about four days to finally reach my destination and a combined total of about 70 FSD boosts; I've just begun my journey back. I'm not even the first to officially reach these systems, two other ships have visited this area before me; Allitnil is the first discoverer and another ship (name unknown) have visited before me (according to EDSM). With the effort required to reach it from any angle I feel it's worthy of someone submitting it as a POI.

There are no shortcuts; the shortest distance from the closest area with normal route plotting is still 3000ly. I'm honestly not sure if any ship with a jump range of under 50ly would be able to make it. I opted to take a direct route through the uncharted center:

It's not something I'm sure I would do again, but it was certainly enjoyable once I reached my destination. The trip back has been less stressful so far as I'm less concerned about saving my J2 and J3. If you really enjoy manually plotting your route and eating through FSD boosts, then this is the place to go!

Is there a particular system of these two that would be better as the reference system? We can mention both in the description, but we need a single one for the POI.
