STARS

Damocles and Dionysius

Damocles is a Red Giant that has an eccentric orbit around a fairly average black hole called Dionysius. 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.

The binary system has a lone satelite caled Damocles 1 which is the iron core remnant of a planet which orbited Damocles when Dionysius went super-nova and collapsed one hundred and fifty years ago. 'Damocles 1 is discussed further in the scenario Kong Tiki.

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.

The shell of the Dionysius 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.
