PHASE I TURN 7
0418f - Aso
Aso is a dwarf star in the Romus constellation. Named for Aso Rock, a distinctive geographical feature in the capital city of Nigeria, Abuja. It means "Victory" in the native language of the Asokoro people, this star is also referred to as "The Star of Victory".
A class M main sequence star, small and exceedingly common. These relatively cool stars often mass only a fraction of Old Earth's sun.
0505e - Ankara
Ankara is a red dwarf in the Corona constellation. Initially catalogued as LB-7406b, the star was renamed Ankara by its first explorers. It is around 36 lightyears from Sol.
A class M main sequence star, small and exceedingly common. These relatively cool stars often mass only a fraction of Old Earth's sun.
1204a - Qiufan
Qiufan is a dim red dwarf star in the Cixin constellation.
A class M main sequence star, small and exceedingly common. These relatively cool stars often mass only a fraction of Old Earth's sun.
1416b - Gorgon
Gorgon is a star in The Terrors Constellation. Gorgon has been dimly visible in the nightsky since time immemorial and was named for the eponymous Greek monster. The three Gorgon sisters had hair of living, venomous snakes and could turn men into stone with a single look.
A class M main sequence star, small and exceedingly common. These relatively cool stars often mass only a fraction of Old Earth's sun.
1421a - Bilbies
Bilbies is a cool star in the Terrors Constellation. It was named by Astrographer Jaques Humphries in 1864 after a small, shrew-like marsupial. It wasn't until 1892 that the Royal Academy of Astrography in London put two and two together. By then, the name had stuck.
A class M main sequence star, small and exceedingly common. These relatively cool stars often mass only a fraction of Old Earth's sun.
1514b - Salaam
Salaam is a bright blue star named after Mohammad Abdus Salam, a Pakistani physicist who was the founding director of the Pakistani space program. He also was the first Pakistani Nobel Prize winner (and the second Muslim). Also has a double meaning - Salam (sometimes also transliterated as Salaam) means "peace" in Arabic and is often used as an informal greeting, As-Salaam is also one of the 99 names of God.
B-class giant stars typically range from 10,000 K to 25,000 K and are also bluish white but show neutral helium lines. Post-main sequence stars such as the OB-class supergiants are extremely luminous and hot.
1618c - Sphinx
In Greek mythology, the Sphinx was a monster. Some accounts note that it had the body and tail of a lion, the face of a woman, and the wings of a bird. It was an offspring of Echidna and Typhon, who also bore such other monsters as the Hydra, the Chimera, the many-headed dog Orthus, and the nasty Gorgons.
The beginning of the end for most stars, the white dwarf was once a red giant not massive enough to fuse carbon. Extremely dense and slowly radiating away its heat as it no longer undergoes fusion reactions, its volume is supported against gravitational collapse only by electron degeneracy pressure.
1619e - Amarok
Amarok is a red star in The Terrors Constellation. Amarok is named for the Inuit monster of the same name. The Amarok is depicted in folklore as a large, black wolf "From which nothing is concealed." The Amarok represents wisdom and pride.
A class M main sequence star, small and exceedingly common. These relatively cool stars often mass only a fraction of Old Earth's sun.
1620c - Kookaburra
Kookaburra is a cool star in the Terrors Constellation. It was named by Astrographer Jaques Humphries in 1864 after a small, laughing native bird, the Kookaburra. It wasn't until 1892 that the Royal Academy of Astrography in London put two and two together. By then, the name had stuck.
A low-to-medium mass star in a late phase of stellar evolution, a red giant has exhausted the supply of hydrogen in its core and switched to hydrogen fusion in a shell around the now helium core instead. While the star itself is huge, the outer envelope has a lower temperature, giving the star its characteristic hue.
1706b - Baden
Baden is a red darf in the Cixin constellation. It is named for the German city of Baden, which in turn was named due to its proximity to a hot spring. "Baden" means "bo bathe" in modern German. It is around 29 lightyears from Sol.
A class M main sequence star, small and exceedingly common. These relatively cool stars often mass only a fraction of Old Earth's sun.
1716d - Tartarus
Tartarus is an unassuming red dwarf in the Terros Constellation. In Greek mythology, Tartarus is the deep abyss that is used as a dungeon of torment and suffering for the wicked and as the prison for the Titans. Tartarus is the place where, according to Plato's Gorgias (c. 400 BC), souls are judged after death and where the wicked received divine punishment. Hesiod asserts that a bronze anvil falling from heaven would fall nine days before it reached the earth. The anvil would take nine more days to fall from earth to Tartarus. In the Iliad (c. 8th century BC), Zeus asserts that Tartarus is "as far beneath Hades as heaven is above the earth."
A class M main sequence star, small and exceedingly common. These relatively cool stars often mass only a fraction of Old Earth's sun.
1821e - Quoll
Quoll is a yellow star in the Terrors Constellation, around 55 lightyears from Sol. It was named by Astrographer Jaques Humphries in 1878 after a small, carniverous marsupial. It wasn't until 1892 that the Royal Academy of Astrography in London put two and two together. By then, the name had stuck.
A G2 type primary sequence star, estimated age is five billion years. Surface temperature is only about six thousand degrees, while core temperature could well exceed fifteen million degrees.
2004d-B - Shaanxi
Shaanxi is the larger of the binary pair in the Cixin system. It is much brighter than its partner star, Cixin. It is around 39 lightyears from Sol.
A K-type main-sequence star, also referred to as a K-type dwarf or an orange dwarf, is a main-sequence (hydrogen-burning) star of spectral type K and luminosity class V. These stars are intermediate in size between red M-type main-sequence stars ("red dwarfs") and yellow/white G-type main-sequence stars.
2018e - Yali
Yali is an orange star in the Terrors constellation. In classical mythology, Yali was a monster with the body of a lion and the tusks and trunk of an elephant. In certain proto-Dravidian cultures Yali was a multi-faced demon that protected the mind and bodies of worshippers.
Slightly cooler and smaller than Old Earth's sun, this class K star most resembles Alpha Centauri B. It is particularly stable, burning on the lower end of the main sequence for tens of billions of years and thus considered a likely host to life-bearing and terraformable planets.
2021b - Pinky
Pinky, despite its name, is a white dwarf, burning bright in the Ghost Cluster, a segment of the Terrors Constellation. It was named for a ghost from the early 20th century game Pacman. It is around 50 lightyears from Sol.
The beginning of the end for most stars, the white dwarf was once a red giant not massive enough to fuse carbon. Extremely dense and slowly radiating away its heat as it no longer undergoes fusion reactions, its volume is supported against gravitational collapse only by electron degeneracy pressure.
2116b - Vapula
Vapula is a star in The Terrors Constellation. The Pseudomonarchia daemonum, or False Monarchy of Demons, by the Dutch occultist Johann Weyer, was published as an appendix to his book titled De praestigiis daemonum, or On the Tricks of Demons, in 1577. The description of Vapula from the Pseudomonarchia daemonum is as follows: “Vapula is a great duke and a stronge, he is seene like a lion with griphens wings, he maketh a man subtill and wonderfull in handicrafts (mechanics or engineering), philosophie, and in sciences conteined in bookes, and is ruler over thirtie - six legions..."
A class M main sequence star, small and exceedingly common. These relatively cool stars often mass only a fraction of Old Earth's sun.
2121e - Blinky
Blinky is a red giant in the Ghost Cluster of the Terrors Constellation. It is named for the character from the late 20th century video game Pacman. Part of the year, the star has an unusual twinkle, likely caused by the gravity of a massive exoplanet or a binary brown dwarf in the system.
A low-to-medium mass star in a late phase of stellar evolution, a red giant has exhausted the supply of hydrogen in its core and switched to hydrogen fusion in a shell around the now helium core instead. While the star itself is huge, the outer envelope has a lower temperature, giving the star its characteristic hue.
2222b - Inky
Inky is a red dwarf star in the Ghost Cluster of the Terrors Constellation. It is named for a character from the early 20th century video game titled Pacman.
A class M main sequence star, small and exceedingly common. These relatively cool stars often mass only a fraction of Old Earth's sun.
OOC:
Apologies for the late update, it was a busy week.
Note: I changed the spelling of Salam to Salaam, because I kept reading it as Salem and that ruined the vibe.
Results of MINIGAME 3:
Bonus CP applied to base CP.
Winner: Mythical creatures. Expanded the constellation with 3 more star systems: 1416b Gorgon, 1618c Sphinx and 1716d Tartarus.
I think PHASE I TURN 10 will be the last before we move on to planets and etc.
I will update the map again on Friday 6/2/23 after 8 pm est.
If all orders are in before then, and also I have a few free minutes, I will update ahead of schedule.
Otherwise, I will update on schedule with or without all participants.
