===BAKER STAR===
−
Baker Star is a smallish K type yellow star situated just a few light years off the central plane of the Milky Way. There is nothing particularly remarkable about it, except for the high death rate of rocky inner planets in the inner solar system. There are six distinct asteroid belts surrounding the star, all rich in unexploited metal wealth and only one small gas giant in an orbit too far out to disturb the orbit of the rocks in the inner solar system. In between the asteroid belts are five small inner planets.

Baker’s Star 1 is a heavily cratered metallic world with no atmosphere.
 
−
Baker’s Star 2 – 4 are heavily cratered high metallic content planets with an even mix of metal and rock and hot thick carbon dioxide atmospheres.

====Hangover====
−
Hangover is one of five inner planets to have survived to adulthood, but it didn't survive unscathed. Sometime in the planets recent history, a huge object, possibly a small moonlet, struck the planet punching a crater in the surface covering a thirtieth of the planets surface. From space the crater looks like a huge black circular continent, surrounded by a moat of red lava. Canyons of lava radiate out through fractures in the massive crater wall and the whole region is surrounded by a thin blue sea. To the settlers it resembled nothing more than a single huge bloodshot eye, floating in space.

The rest of the planet consists of forty separate continents that fit together like crazy paving, separated by deep and stormy water filled channels between one and sixty kilometres wide. It is slightly heavier than Earth at 1.1g and richer in heavy metals. The cataclysm warmed the surface of the planet enough to make comfortable life possible, and completely wiped out the larger indigenous animal life, although some of the local plant life survived. Almost nothing is known of the previous conditions of the planet as the eighty settlers who live there do not have the luxury time required to investigate.

'''Town'''
  
−
The town was founded by settlers who crashed there in 3080. Most of the settlers live within a day's travel of the town, with a few scattered by choice or necessity onto neighbouring continents. The settlers are independent but originate from a SYLA (federation) aligned colony world. The town and the crash are developed further in the [[Blue_Giant:Scenario_Hangover|Hangover scenario]].

Baker’s Star 6 is a small cold gas giant responsible for steering many many comets into the inner solar system.

===CESITY STAR===
−
Cesity is a large K type yellow star with a single Earth-like world in the Damocles cluster. It is a main sequence orange star in the prime of life. It has one inner planet - Cesity Too which has one large moon and two outer gas giants Cesity 2 and Cesity 3. They have the usual menagerie of small moons.

===DAMOCLES AND DIONYSUS===
 
===DAMOCLES AND DIONYSUS===
 +
Damocles is a Red Giant that has an eccentric orbit around a fairly average black hole called Dionysus. The black hole is drawing matter from the star at an irregular rate depending on how close the two objects are to each other. As a result Damocles pulses and bulges alarmingly and unpredictably. Astronomers cannot predict exactly when Damocles will go super-nova and guesses range from three hundred to three hundred thousand years. 'Not in our lifetime.' they say with confidence before leaving on the next ship out.

Astronomers cannot predict exactly when Damocles will go super-nova and guesses range from three hundred to three hundred thousand years. 'Not in our lifetime.' they say with confidence before leaving on the next ship out.
+
The shell of the Dionysus super-nova is now one hundred and fifty light years in radius and not only makes for a very pretty backdrop to the inhabited planets night sky, but a surprisingly bumpy ride for any spaceship passing through it for the first time.
  
−
Damocles B: Dionysus is a black hole. Seventy five years ago it was a red giant that went supernova destroying every planet in the binary system except one. It’s still settling into its new role and redecorating the system with a new nebula. A combination of a hydrogen stream from Damocles to Dionysus and a lot of debris makes the system a navigation hazard. The shell of the Dionysus super-nova is now one hundred and fifty light years in radius and not only makes for a very pretty backdrop to the inhabited planets night sky, but a surprisingly bumpy ride for any spaceship passing through it for the first time.

====Damocles 1====
 +
The binary system has a lone satellite called Damocles 1 which is the iron core remnant of a planet which orbited Damocles when Dionysus went super-nova and collapsed one hundred and fifty years ago. Damocles 1 is discussed further in the scenario [[Blue_Giant:Scenario_Kong_Tiki|Kong Tiki]].
  
−
Damocles A1: The iron core of a huge metal rich world still orbits Damocles A. There is a Federation research station there, studying both the binary and the recently exposed core of the planet.
+
====Damocles Cluster====
 +
The Damocles binary is at the centre of a cluster of main sequence orange stars which suspiciously all have earth-like inhabitable worlds orbiting them. This is known as the Damocles Cluster.

===DANIV===

Daviv is the fourth largest and brightest star in the galaxy. It is a luminous blue hypergiant in the first million years of its life. It is 125 solar masses, three million times brighter than the sun and has a radius 500 times greater than that of the sun. Needless to say, it is hot.
−
Daniv A is a blue hypergiant of approximately 510 solar masses, orbited by a much smaller blue giant star and a single planet. Daniv attracted a lot of attention, even before the sector was settled. A ridiculously large star, it has long been the subject of scientific study. Probes were sent to study it as early as 2660, and the research team led by future emperor John Braxen studied it in 2691. The sometimes inhabited research station on Daniv 1 is the oldest surviving human site in this part of the galaxy.
 
−
One of the most interesting things about Daniv is that the star itself is less than a million years old. It is in an area devoid of other stars, leading to the theory that it has either swallowed up all the stars around it or that it was somehow an only child in a vast interstellar nursery of hydrogen gas.

−
Daniv B is an O type blue giant star of approximately 180 solar masses.

====Daniv 1 Alpha====
−
Daniv A1: '''Daniv 1 Alpha''' is a crazy mixed up kid of a planet that foolishly chose to orbit Daviv. Or it could just be a rogue planet caught in its gravity. It orbits Daniv at a range of 1.8 billion KM (further than Saturn from the Sun) and Daniv still fills up half the sky. The planet has a clear nitrogen atmosphere, the nitrogen is produced by the respiration of the plants on the planet. The oceans of the planet resemble water but consist of superheated long chain polymer molecules. The oceans maintain a balmy 500 degrees centigrade whereas the atmosphere varies from 590 degrees C at midday (190 in the shade) to 90 degrees C at midnight. The planet has a twenty hour day and a two thousand day year. The planet consists of two main continents, one takes up most of the northern hemisphere and the other lies in a crescent around the south pole.

The life forms on Daniv 1 Alpha are highly energetic creatures made of metal, heat resistant ceramics and highly volatile liquid chemicals. They are usually highly polished or have a very thick crust of blackened plastic skin, which looks white anyway because of the amount of light. Napalm, thermite, plasma and nitrogen-based explosives are typical defence mechanisms.
