Quaternary Star System (2016)[edit]

  • G7 V / K4 V / M7 V / M8 V

A Yellow primary star (G7 V), a Yellow-Orange (K4 V) secondary star, each orbited by their own late-stage, (one captured), Red Dwarfs. The mainworld of Ghaekuethea resides in the habitable zone of the primary star. The Red Dwarf (M7 D) orbits the primary in a closer orbit inside the habitable zone. The Yellow-Orange secondary illuminates the outer orbits of the system, beyond the only planetoid belt. Distributed among the two major stars are four Gas Giants, the innermost of which boasts extensive ice rings. The axis of the cooler of the Dwarfs, the Red Dwarf (M8 D) about the Yellow-Orange star, has a steep angle tilt and rotation. This suggests that it may have been captured as it attempted to pass through the outer system. Its orbit revolution is eccentric and declined to the rest of the system’s orbits. Further evidence of the arrival of the cooler Red Dwarf is heralded by a few ice comets dragged from the Oort Cloud of this world in the wake of the captured star.

In order, the Dwarfs appear to be companions, one to the G7 V and the other to the K4 V. The M8 D is 'captured'. What notes show otherwise?The Pakkrat (talk) 09:01, 23 June 2016 (EDT)


Please ammend or edit the article as you see fit. I only changed them to V's as a general policy. Would be happy to see you do with them what you will. Older T5SS used a ton of D designations and the newer policy changes most of them to V's, which better reflects more current astronomic findings. This is fiction and doesn't have to be perfect one way or another. It was mostly an issue for really deeply scientific folks, or at least dogmatic, who happened to also be Traveller fans.
