Talk:Trin (SM 3235) (world)
I don't have the UWP data for Armin (located in orbit 8 of this solar system), so i left it 'unknown' (?) KevinHutchins (talk) 13:31, 27 January 2024 (EST)
- I suspect that this may have been my error when I edited Manhunt for publication. I combined MJD's description of Trin in Behind the Claw with Phil Athan's description in the Manhunt manuscript so that Phil's writeup was consistent with the latter canon, and at some point the Y400000-0 that Phil wrote turned into G400000-0 (which is clearly nonsensical).

Thanks for explaining, i never had the original publications. I'll use the "Y400000-0" data. KevinHutchins (talk) 13:15, 1 February 2024 (EST)
Trin's Veil
=[edit]
I'd like to propose a link to Grandfather's war regarding Trin.
An advanced weapon—a Tech-X level device capable of manipulating zero‑point energy was used to end one of these wars. Instead of conventional nuclear weapons, this weapon taps into the vacuum fluctuations of space to magnify the local zero‑point energy density. In doing so, it triggers an extreme, rapid pair‑production process in the vicinity of Trin’s moon. Essentially, vast quantities of matter–antimatter pairs (most notably electrons and positrons) are bilaterally generated.
Sequence of Events Weapon Activation and Moon Shattering: The device fired a burst of zero‑point energy, effectively “overloading” the local field. The sudden and copious creation of antiparticles, paired with an equally enormous amount of matter, lead to an intense, localized annihilation reaction. The shockwave from the annihilation—and from the uncontrolled release of energy—shatters the moon into incredibly fine, charged debris.
Magnetic Confinement and Debris Suspension: In the aftermath, the normally cohesive moon is now a cloud of charged particles, dust, and fragments. Under the influence of the planet’s (and possibly the weapon’s residual) magnetic fields, many of these particles become suspended in orbit. Instead of quickly coalescing into a thin, flat disk, the distribution remains relatively diffuse—especially if turbulent magnetic fields or other environmental factors (for instance, from nearby stellar radiation) prevent the debris from settling.
Persistent Antimatter Flux: The same weapon mechanism might have generated a lasting field of diffuse antiparticles. In a typical situation, positrons would quickly annihilate with ambient electrons, but here the density may be low enough (or the particles magnetically trapped) that they persist. The continuous, low‑level annihilation events between these antiparticles and the charged debris provide a steady, soft energy release—a glow that we identify as “Trin’s Veil.” In effect, the veil is not just a remnant of the shattering event but a lasting phenomenon sustained by the interplay between residual antimatter and the dispersed debris.
Dynamic Equilibrium: Over time, a dynamic balance might be reached where the supply of diffuse antiparticles (perhaps continuously replenished by the unusual conditions created by the original weapon blast—or even the local magnetospheric conditions) matches the annihilation rate. The result is a semi‑permanent luminescent halo around the planet, giving it that signature “veil” look. The glow might vary in intensity as local conditions, particle clumping, and magnetic field variations influence the annihilation dynamics.
Thoughts? DochSavage
