One system ||(only one, no more)|| in your galaxy should have a Hyper jump relay that goes to Sol

A abondoned system with asteroids, planets but no star, only a iron core
Maybe there could a place in the asteroid belt where there are some heavily damaged hyper drives from Monolith
Possibly several broken stations around Terra ||(aka earth (if it even exists anymore))||
And obviously no ships would be travelling but there could be some cabal Cabal stuff

Would be pretty cool

Edit: The sol system should not show on the galaxy map

#

I think many of the inner planets would have been consumed by the sun when it exploded

#

Cool idea

daring basin Sep 29, 2022, 10:24 PM

#

Having one entirely desolate system would be super cool. Just nothing there, no asteroids, stations, beacons. Only jump relays

mortal hull Sep 29, 2022, 10:25 PM

I think the gas giants at least would survive

#

Not an astronomer though

can it have a few damaged cabal defense platforms

daring basin Sep 29, 2022, 10:34 PM

I think an FTL-induced supernova would not leave much of anything left

Sol could make a cool endgame destination.

#

daring basin I think an FTL-induced supernova would not leave much of anything left

let’s say they put them there after the explosion to protect secrets

#

the damage would be from a lack of maintenance

daring basin Sep 29, 2022, 11:34 PM

#

I think it'd be really suspicious to deploy a station after the event but whatever

hidden plinth Sep 29, 2022, 11:42 PM

ok ok

#

if this does become thing, a special ambient track for this system would be awesome

unreal tundra Sep 29, 2022, 11:49 PM

#

Sol would definitely be cool, maybe have it controlled by no favtions and have it as a dedicated place for no conflict, though only places that would be left really are the outer planets, maybe could have Jupiter become a red/brown dwarf and have one of its moons (Europa I think) as a ocean world for some flavor

a star blowing up?

Sol, that would have expanded past earth

willow vale Sep 30, 2022, 1:18 AM

Yeah, but if you have FTL technology, you probably have decent security

#

Also it's got plot armor.

craggy charm Sep 30, 2022, 2:42 AM

I think this is a fantastic opportunity. You get used to see all these systems inhabited and blooming with life and technology and then you enter a space with only emptyness and destruction only to sudden realize it's ours system, with our very own home planet which is not even there anymore. Could be a minor detail that can cause you to feel some emotions, I certainly would feel distressed.

unreal tundra Sep 30, 2022, 2:48 AM

#

Think Sol could go one of two ways, a Sanctuary protected by all faction in a mutual understanding to preserve the system
Or a battleground where maybe mainly Cabal and Imperium fight over it, would make most sense to me for those two as Cabal literally warship Sol, and thus see it as a holy sight, and the Imperium being the successors of the Terran Union

#

dont really see the Monolith having a reason to fight over it as id imagine any old stations of theirs would be mostly ruined, say except for any in the outer system

This could make for a hidden codex entry as well , and increase the lore

Just an overall idea of a secret system of any kind that would be a hidden thing the players find out about themselves by exploring would not just be an amazing feature in an of itself, but would also destroy that stereotype of Cosmoteer being only about ship building and fighting and not the exploration. Also more Cabal stuff is always a good thing.

#

I support 👍.

No.

#

99% of the time they not only 100% vaporize their solar system, they destroy entire stellar neighborhoods as well.

#

Supernovas are nothing to mess with.

unreal tundra Oct 16, 2022, 12:51 PM

#

tall token No, supernovas destroy everything in their systems

No, it would destroy the inner planets, he'll Mars might just be burnt to a Christian but it's predicted that all the gas giants and other outer systems bodies would be fine

#

The sun would only explode Into a planetary nova and become a white dwarf

dusk flicker Oct 16, 2022, 12:55 PM

#

Oh! I thought you guys were talking about actual supernovas that blue and white giants do when their lifespan comes to an end.

#

Yeah. Yellow dwarfs just expand and turn into red giants when they are at the brink of death, engulfing the inner planets in the process. Then they just decay and turn into nebulae, leaving a white dwarf behind, which is an almost immortal glowing sphere size of a regular planet.

yes

#

true science

dusk flicker Oct 16, 2022, 12:58 PM

#

But Cabal's lore says that they accidentally quote Blew their planet up. Not killed it, but blew it up.

#

Maybe they caused a supernova to occur on a yellow dwarf by some mysterious experiments?

Who knows thonkers .

Rapidly increasing mass until it became a red giant or blue giant and then commit suicide that would be cool
