→This system contains a water world and gas giant binary 9ls orbiting two black holes and a ringed white dwarf with an F-type star companion.
DESCRIPTION

→

Dark Tides is a very odd water world that was discovered in the triple black hole system of Schee Prau AA-A h230 first found by CMDRs Nidhogg Reborn and Savage Samurai.

The Water World has a Class III gas giant companion orbiting at a period of around 3 hours. Thanks to their close proximity, the gas giant gravitational force allows water to exist in liquid form and gives Dark Tides an exotic oval shape.

Not only that, but the pair orbits black holes A and B at a distance of 9ls resulting in a very fast orbit and allowing CMDRs to see the phenomena right after arriving at the system.

Another major feature in this system is Divine Light, a ringed DA white dwarf in a binary orbit with a F-type star.

The dead star's metal-rich ring system has a 191,800km inner radius and 2,616,800km outer ring radius.

Due to the light produced by its companion, the white dwarf's rings have a beautiful white glow that can be seen from a long distance thanks to the rings large radius.

Divine Light's first moon is also a landable rocky body with no atmosphere, with an orbital period of 2.6 days allowing for all sorts of on foot pictures!

Some extra pics of the system:

Special thanks to CMDR Savage Samurai and CMDR Regza for providing these incredible pictures.
