POI’s Along the Way
Eisriesenwelt – Just 225 light years from the Colonia colony one can find the largest known ice world. The 15th and final planet of this F-class star is an ice world of a staggering 632 earth masses! This would provide more water than any group of colonies would ever need, but prospectors will be prevented from landing due to the crushing 40g gravity. Delicate fissures and canyons are visible from the innermost of the banded rings surrounding the planet.
The planet is named ‘Eisriesenwelt’, after a massive ice cave on old Earth.
Nicknamed the “Pomatomidae Nebula”, this planetary nebula is thought to have been created about a thousand years ago when an old star blew off its outer layers and formed this lovely blue and purple dual orb containing a neutron star at its center that was first discovered by CMDR Termittepower, and logged by CMDR Titler.
It has some great views from the surrounding systems, and within the system you can see other nebula against the background of purple dust.
