Name:Twin Sapphires
Game map search ref:Phua Chroa DF-A e2
Description:This system, orbiting a luminous B-class star, has a landable HMC body which conveniently orbits a pair of Sudarsky class III gas giants - both of which are a brilliant blue and clearly visible in the sky. This system also contains 4 of the rare "Helium-Rich gas giants", one of which has a water world moon.

Name:Highway between Worlds
Game map search ref:Vegneia OK-B b57-2
Description:A ring system with a width of only 27 kilometers running around a high metal content world (Body A 1) that is part of a tight binary. The ring system itself has a mass of only 439 megatons, that is less than 1/4000th the mass of Deimos, the smallest moon in the solar system. Nevertheless, it sports a Benitoite hotspot. It is very close to body A 2, the other part of the binary and can be seen from it's surface as a faint line. When viewed from a certain angle, it looks like a highway connecting both planets.

Description:I have already posted this find in November 3305 in this forum thread and post it here again because this system will be the location of DSSA Initiative #88 Fleet Carrier which shall provide a safe haven for all explorers beyond SagA*
As described in the forum thread, this system is the only 'quadripoint' in Elite Dangerous where 4 regions meet each other Izanami / Newton's Vault / Arcadian Stream / Ryker's Hope. Honoring similar installations on humanity's home planet Earth, I cartographed the system.

Name:Orphans of Solitude
Game map search ref:Quemie KR-W e1-7
Description:This is a truly stunning binary system, located near the ceiling above Sagittarius A*. Inhabited by a lonely bright blue T-Tauri and Ae/Be Herbig both clocking in at under 1 million years, these two incredibly young stars inhabit what very well could be the most beautiful view of the Milky Way, stretching out in all directions underneath your ship. The two stars while not in the tightest of orbits around one another, are the only company they have - like big brother and little sister. They live in complete isolation, with no moons or planets to foster and no clear indication of what possibly could have sparked their life.

Description:Planet 10a is a shepherd moon so close to the rings of the Gas Giant it orbits, that it is almost within orbital cruise distance . From within the edge of the rings the planet can be seen to visibly move. The planet itself is landable

Game map search ref:Dryio Bli KC-D D12-1864
Description:A large cluster of Carbon Stars, O-Types and White dwarves, roughly 4000 LY east of Sagittarius A*.
(I'm very likely not the first one to discover this, but as of now, it's unmarked on EDSM. "Discovered" during the Eastern Promise expedition.)
Edit: Also lots of neutron stars and black holes here.

(There are far too many Carbon and O stars for all of them to be marked)

Name:Bohr's Dice
Game map search ref:Blaa Hypai DR-V e2-16
Description:This small, blue, dual lobed planetary nebula has a neutron star at its centre and a companion M class star which contains three terraformable high metal content worlds, one of which is landable. From planet B12 you can view the Hollow Veil Nebula distorted by the gravitational lensing of the central neutron star.

From a certain angle the nebula looks like a pair of dice being rolled from the hand of god represented by the nearby Hollow Veil Nebula.

The 20th Century physicist, Albert Einstein, famously remarked that "God Doesn't play dice with the universe". Neils Bohr, another physicist of the time, admonished Einstein not to tell god what to do, reminding him that evidence trumps theory.

Description:A moon of a moon of a moon is as rare as hen's teeth but this system contains two of them. The system is otherwise unremarkable.

The other two systems known at time of writing are as follows:

Eord Flyuae FV-X d1-955 Body: 7 a c a

A question: a while back I found a system with 5 water worlds (orbiting two different stars). I don't have a feel for whether that is unusual enough to be a POI candidate; any opinions?

Game map search ref:Eord Eaec FX-A d1-7
Description:The body of B 4, which is a gas giant, has, among other things, two satellites (B4a and B4b) which are at extremely low distances from each other. Both are available for landing.

NameThe Secluded Paradise
Game map search refPyroomee ER-V e2-202
DescriptionSituated high above the Galactic Plane, save from prying eyes, are these two tidally locked very earth-likes with human breathable atmospheres (18% and 33% oxygen). With a comfortable .8G, a slight axial tilt and an average temperature in the low 290's K these worlds should have very pleasent and stable climates. At roughly 900.000km apart and with a radius of 4700km each planet should appear similar to the Earths moon from the surface.

More interesting is their very slow 3:2 orbital ratio: after 2 orbits only 3 days will have passed with one orbit lasting 100 earth days.

And should you ever run out of space on these two worlds there are also 4 waterworlds in this system, two of them terraformable.

Entry point for this system is a neutron star located over 400.000ls away so any invasion fleet using modern frameshift technology can be spotted well in advance.
So all you need to do is touch down with a ship capable of atmospheric landings, put out your rocking chairand enjoy the peace and tranquility with a spectacular view of the entire Galaxy in front of you.

Description:
Discovery of a planetary system with a magnificent pink and blue panetes - unique system - Hope you like this discovery
Screenshot reference:(Provide the post # or link of where your screenshot or video of your POI can be found - it is a big help if you provide the image resized or cropped to a with of 640 pixels. If this is not possible for you just submit the image anyways and we will do it for you. But it does save us a lot of time if you have done it yourself)

Name:The Crazed, Calm and Family
Game map search ref:Dryaa Pruae KO-X d2-2780
Description:Immediately upon arrival in this somewhat dangerous system, you are greeted with a ancient 2.9 billion year old Neutron Star and its partnered Class M star, orbiting each other at a distance of 4 ls. Termed the Crazed and the Calm, they are not alone in this system. Accompanying this rapidly spinning pulsar and main sequence pair are another pair of Class M stars, orbiting only 60 ls away from the namesake pair, with yet another Class M about 600 ls out, Family to the Calm. All five star can be seen at the same time when viewed from the correct angle in-system.

Sitting along a route of Neutron stars in the area, this pairing makes for a convenient place to refuel during a long string of Neutron jumps on the way towards the galactic center. Fortunately, the jet cones of the Crazed never quite intersect with the Calm's path, making scooping for fuel a less harrowing affair than initially assumed. Still, visitors would be well advised to have their heat sinks primed depending on their angle of entry, on the chance they come in too close to the Calm.

The rest of the system is no slouch either, hosting an additional 29 bodies, including 2 Metal Rich, Ringed Gas Giants, and 1 Rocky Ringed HMC World fit for terraforming. The system is also host to more than a dozen smaller land-able bodies, some only 600 or so ls away from entry.

Something of interest to note. It appears a traveler by the name of "Philin-" has managed to reach the Ascent (Dryeau Aub AA-A h4) system. According to the POI, this is the first time in nearly 2 years someone has made it that far.

Another thing of not is that the description of the system suggests that reaching the Ascent was no longer possible. Just something I found curious. Who knows what other previous limits can be reached.
