And the first thing I thought of was interplanetary tentacle porn.

I am fucking ruined as a human being.

Ring around a star

And the star is Fomalhaut, only 25ly from Sol. Wouldn't want to live there, though - apparently, the system's going through its Late Heavy Bombardment phase. ("Today's weather: cloudy, with a 10% chance of multiple dino-killer meteor strikes.")

I'm thinking that this probably happened years ago in Fenspace:
Google adds planets and moons to Maps, but puts bits in the wrong places

RE: Inspirational and Meta Sites Threedux - robkelk - 11-15-2017

In Fenspace, we call this planet "Lenin"

RE: Inspirational and Meta Sites Threedux - M Fnord - 11-15-2017

Yeah, but our Lenin's a gas giant... welp, gotta update the wiki I guess.

RE: Inspirational and Meta Sites Threedux - Star Ranger4 - 11-15-2017

Which works, given that so many of us see Lenin as a gasbag with to much internal gravitas.

It could have been worse - at least this doesn't invalidate any stories.

"This one at least looks like it has air in it, which is nice." Heh.

Alien shenanigans or the end goal of Fenspace? YOU DECIDE!

RE: Inspirational and Meta Sites Threedux - robkelk - 03-01-2018

Noah Scott would think building such a system is patently absurd.

Helen Scott would ask which planets the construction crew wanted to start with.

Nanoha has often been called "Gundam as a magical girl show", so I'm not surprised.


Today's Freefall has an insight as to the Fen mentality toward distance.

Astronomers announce they've discovered another twelve moons orbiting Jupiter.

Because Jupiter didn't have enough moons already. Smile

Of the two stories I've about this found so far, The Register has the more intelligent one overall, while CBC goes into more depth.




One that I expect does not happen in Fenspace: The Canadian Space Commerce Association has declared itself insolvent and has ceased operations.
Quote:The CSCA official stressed that the decision is not indicative of Canadian commercial space in general.
