POI Update
POI: Eoch Trio
Desc update: "The Eoch Trio are a set of three earth-like worlds. The first two worlds are in a tight binary pair, only 2 light-seconds apart. These worlds are wonderful locations for humans: Gravity 77-78% standard, 93-94% earth-normal pressure, 17-18% oxygen, and temperatures averaging 301 kelvin (27C). The third world is 230 light-seconds farther out from the G-class star, with a different set of challenges for colonists. Gravity is a perfect 1.00g, but temperature averages 273K (0C), and large ice caps cover much of the poles. The thick atmosphere (3.33 standard) is offset by the 6.4% oxygen, making for an equivalent 21% oxygen. If colonists can adapt to the colder climate and higher pressure, this may be the best of the three!"

POI Name: V1033 Scorpii
Type: Black Hole
Desc update: "V1033 Scorpii is a binary system composed of a F-type star, and black hole GRO J1655-40. This black hole is a so-called microquasar: A black hole sharing characteristics of black hole quasars at the center of galaxies. Microquasars pull matter from the companion star which forms an accretion disk around the black hole. This accretion disk may become so hot, due to friction, that it begins to emit X-rays. The disk also projects narrow streams or "jets" of subatomic particles at near-light speed, generating a strong radio wave emission.
GRO J1655-40 was first studied in detail by the Chandra X-Ray Telescope in 2005. Several smaller bodies exist in the system. In particular, the moon of gas giant AB 1 has a high orbital inclination and should provide excellent views of the gas giant and rings when at the right time in the moon's 3.4 day orbit. The black hole can provide unique lensing effects on nearby nebula NGC 6357."

POI Name: PSR J1709-4429
Desc Update: "PSR J1709-4429 is one of the so-called EGRET Six pulsars. Studied by the Energetic Gamma Ray Experiment Telescope on the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory between 1991 and 2002, these six were the first pulsars known to emit high-energy gamma rays (above 100 MeV). This was early evidence that pulsars are the best sources of high-energy gamma rays, and an important milestone in early 21st century astronomy.
The system also contains a black hole and a number of T-Tauri stars. With an estimated age of 38 million years, it seems possible the T-Tauri stars were formed out of one or more supernova explosions which created the pulsar and black hole."

POI Submission
Name: White Walker’s Nightmare
Location: Dryaea Phlai IB-P b19-0 4 A
Description: A small landable icy body orbiting a Gas Giant. The body is remarkable for being entirely covered by deep ridges. Each one is several km wide and high with sheer cliffs. It gives the impression of having been scoured by the claws of some gargantuan creature. In the star’s light it appears a vibrant icy teal-blue with a translucent quality. It is particularly beautiful when approached from the dark side; where the valleys shine a green blue like electricity coursing over a black ball.
Because of the limitations of the PS4 sharing the linked image is darker, low res and significantly desaturated from the way it appears in-system

POI Submission: Green System
Name: Heulwen’s Depot
Location: Ooscs Phlai NC-D C12-0
Description: Green System Beyond the Outer Arm. Contains a large number of landable bodies orbiting gas giants which have a very wide range of available materials. All the Jumponium mats are available at a range of concentrations from the bodies orbiting the closest two gas giants from the main (fuel) star but are also available elsewhere in the system. This is particularly useful for deep space explorers as it is out past the Outer Arm close the Outer Arm Vaccuus

Name:
Lucifer's Lair
Game map search ref:
Trifid Sector OI-S b4-12, planet 6 b
Description:
A rocky ice world in the Trifid nebula with extreme surface features: mountains, deep canyons, high ridges. The body is comparable to Pomeche 2C in the bubble however its surface features surpass that of Pomeche 2C not in the least because it has combinations of high ridges and deep canyons next to eachother giving height differences in excess of 25km. The subsurface scattering of light gives the place an eerie look from low orbit.
Lucifer's Lair was used as the waypoint 2 meetup location during the Luxury Tour of October 3303. The base location is at -8.1072, -18.8678, a plain which gives access to Hanzo's Ridge (a towering but narrow rigde) and besides it, Nergal's Deep, a (at places) 16 km deep canyon.

POI Name: Syzygy
Galmap Ref: Skaudou HH-Z c15-17
POI Type: Planetary
Description: "The first moon of the first planet around this K-class star allows the visitor to see many eclipses every day! Those landing on the moon will see the planet eclipse the star over and over, as the moon completes an orbit of the planet approximately every 2.4 hours. The huge planet and the very close star make for spectacular viewing, particularly when you can watch the shadow race across the moon around you.
In shadow the moon becomes foggy and ethereal. Taken together with a dynamic rocky landscape, visitors will find lots of see and do in their SRVs."
