PHASE 1 TURN 1
0809e - Corona Nebula
The Corona Nebula can be found in the night sky of Earth's northern hemisphere in the winter*. It is famous for capturing and reflecting light from Iris, the guidestar, a sight that is well-renown across the entire globe.
A nebula is a distinct luminescent part of interstellar medium, which can consist of ionized, neutral or molecular hydrogen and also cosmic dust.
0809f - Iris
Iris, the guidestar, appeared in the night sky near the dawn of civilization. Many early earth cultures use it to guide ships home in the dark of night, a blinking lantern in the dawn of celestial navigation.
This is a star that lived, died in nova, and now lives again as an extraordinarily small, hot, dense mass whose volume is maintained by the strong nuclear force rather than rote electromagnetism. Although massing up to three Solar masses, the neutron star's radius is equivalent to barely that of Old Earth. Rapidly spinning neutron stars may emit intense beams of electromagnetic radiation; these are known as pulsars.
0909a - Enoch Secondus
Enoch Secondus is one of God's failed experiments, a dwindling star left to die a cold death in the deep vacuum.
Unlike stars, older brown dwarfs are sometimes cool enough that, over very long periods of time, their atmospheres can gather observable quantities of methane which cannot form in hotter objects.
1011a - Olympus
The Olympus system is the closest star to Sol and a likely early candidate for resource extraction.
A class M main sequence star, small and exceedingly common. These relatively cool stars often mass is only a fraction of Old Earth's sun.
1111c - Sol
The Sol system is the birthplace of civilization. It marks the center of Solspace.
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.
1412a - Aditi
The Aditi system is so far Sol's nearest yellow cousin. Any planets in the goldilocks zone are likely to be good terraforming candidates.
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.

As you can probably see, this is a pretty chill low-maintenance game. I hope to continue this into phase IV.
Erez87, I'm sorry RNG did not favor an orange star. Better luck next time.
Let me know if anyone has a suggestion on anything. I am unsure if I like the neutron star image, for example.
I will update the map again on Friday 4/21/23 after 8pm EST.
