Update VIII: Explosive Results

supernova_sn2006gy.jpg

The era was heralded with a bang, albeit a silent one, because in space no one can hear a star explode. Falia (1707) underwent a sudden gravitational collapse after the Red Giant burned up all its energy, causing Falia to jettison stellar matter into a nearby quadrant (1607) while the star shrank down to a neutron star. Of the six gas giants that orbited star only two survived the explosion; two out of the other four were destroyed within seconds of Falia's demise, while the last two gas giants were launched into space. This unfortunate jovians made it as far as the Taman (1711) system before one gas giant met its end upon colliding with a small world too-close to its parent-star. Upon impact the gas giant began thermal fusion, though it would not prove enough to ignite a true life for what would become a would-be star. Soon thereafter the sector's first brown dwarf was born. The other gas giant that invaded the Taman system produced much less miraculous results when it collided with the system's sole habitable planet, obliterating the green world in the process and replacing it with the interloper gas giant. As luck would have it Taman's ugly, brown step-son had large enough of a gravitational pull to disrupt the orbital pattern of Taman's native prime jovian. Consequently the gas giant was forced into the path of the interloping jovian from Falia, and the two collided in a spectacular crash. A second brown dwarf resulted from this fortuitous union—a gas giant which, in turn, further disrupted Taman's orbital regularity. The remnants of the crash between the second gas giant and Taman's only habitable world were flung against a pre-existing field of asteroids, and overtime planetesimals formed, and after that a large, new terrestrial was born. However, this was no miraculous paradise similar to Creatorus' crown jewel, and instead was a lumbering behemoth clumsily navigating an erratic orbit around three gravitational wells. Despite its ill-birth, the planet did manage to maintain an atmosphere, if you can call something so noxious an atmosphere.[1]

After this galactic spectacle died down the rest of the sector slowly continued on with its on-going development. Montag (0912) was the first newborn star of this era, manifesting as a great, blue flame surrounded by three small worlds—one burned up by its parent's light, the other singed slightly enough to cause its habitat to develop wierd and maligned, and the third flung so far out that it rarely knew the abundant warmth of its mother-star—and a gas giant. Guardian (2206) flared into being nearby Camulos, bringing with it a pair of asteroid fields, and preventing the great nebula sweeping through the Blessed Sector from entirely closing off the region's primary stars.

Within the developed systems not much of note occurred. A large ring of asteroids filled out the Jocasta system (1311); a wormhole blipped into existence, linking the empty region (2111) near Kri'thn to a similarly empty region (0522) not far from Surnamir; in Crossroads (1411) a large planet formed too-far from the bright, blue star, causing it to somehow escape the system's plentiful heat; after a long period of dormancy Barmile (1216) stirred into action again, though produced a disappointing, small, and cold world on the system's outer limits; and lastly Xanadu (0614) was blessed with two large worlds, though one came too close to the star and rendered itself a burning wasteland, while the second sat too far from the star to properly cultivate a habitable atmosphere, leaving the planet with a cold, incomplete climate that had a dim promise of life.

Towards the end of this era the great nebulae stretching across the sector finally joined in several places, causing them to become one massive interstellar cloud. However, ultimately this period of cosmic development would end with a sad, little pfft as a comet flew into the Beren system (0808), missing all the planetary bodies so that it could fizzle harmlessly into the star.

Galactic Footnotes
[1]Falia (1707) has been closed as a completed system to indicate the fairly unstable orbit enjoyed by the star's sole planet. It is also a galactic wonder due to the emergence of not one, but two brown dwarfs! I temporarily waived the 'Large Gas Giant' stipulation for Brown Dwarf formation in favor of having an actually interesting update. From here on out any brown dwarf needs to be created via a 'Large Gas Giant'. As the system's creator, spaceman98 may name the galactic wonder.

Nope! Everyone stars on equal footing in Epoch II. Oh, and continue to guess at my favorite aspect of the map, guys.

Here's a hint: It's not a group of things.
 
thomas.berubeg: 33GC¤ (20+12+1)
Add a Gas Giant to Crystocene (15GC)
Give said Gas Giant 8 moons (16GC)
Give the Crystocene pair 1 Moon (2GC)
Bank: None

Guess: The Madarak Gaian: because it was the first of it's kind.
 
What happens if a Black Hole is placed next(adjacent) to a Worm Hole?

1: Does the Black Hole's destructive abilities transfer through the black hole, eradicating whatever is on the other side of it,

or 2: Just destroy the wormhole?

Interesting things may or may not happen. :mischief:
 
52GC¤
Bank 52GC¤

Evil stare at certain hex.
 
20 to create a star (Outer Rim 1) in hex 2709
10 to give it 2 small planets, a rocky planet and gas giant
2 to give the Gas giant a moon
Continue banking the rest (73)
 
One could argue that is closer to the main clusters than most everything else, and not an outer rim at all.
 
It's space, everything's relative.

Also, I made a mistake! This turn's gal-wonder will be named by spaceman98, as he made Taman, not Tecknojock (I was thinking of Falia's creator, which IS Tecknojock, when I wrote that footnote).
 
You like how the map is slowly evolving, changing, and exploding.

Also, shouldn't the wonder be made by me, considering I blew up the star? Not that I have a really good name for it, it's just I'm the person who caused the event.
 
I considered that, but in certain cases when we have multiple catalysts for a wonder (i.e. the Huge Gaian in Creatorus) who do I choose? I decided to forego that and make it up to the effected system's creator to name.

For the sake of my sanity while I map this/in future epochs I am moving this star to 2606; still pretty far flung.

Also, objects cannot be placed in the half-hexes. I'll add that to the rules this turn.
