OB-412

# System OB-412 Summary

An established solar system, OB-412 has an O-type star comparable in configuration to the Mintaka III solar body. The system is comprised of 6 planets that clear their orbit, and 2 dwarf bodies. Two of the planets are contained with a habitable zone, (V and VI), and are classified as Class M and Class L; respectively. The perimeter of the system is comprised of a class III asteroid belt. The fifth planet of the system is the home of a sentient proto-insectoid species in the early stages of socio-cultural development. The system is .51 light years from the transwarp corridor that links Starbase Praetorian to Deep Space K-26.

# History

On Stardate 94882.8 the U.S.S. Beacon, NCC-52701-A, was conducting a mission to map a safe transwarp corridor between Starbase 381 and Deep Space K-26 when it detected signs of a culture and habitable planets. Dropping out of warp to investigate, the Beacon and its crew conducted preliminary scanning and charting of the system, before resuming their original mission. Because of the proximity of the the system to the proposed transwarp corridor, the planned route for the corridor was subsequently altered so as to not interfere with the pre-warp society contained within the system.

# OB-412 - Planets I through IV

These are small, rocky planets comprised of mostly iron and silicate that share a balanced and closely associated cooperative orbital pattern. The science officer of the U.S.S. Beacon noted the atypical mathmatical perfection of the mutual gravimetric forces contributing to a harmoniously shared mutual orbit as worthy of further study.

# OB-412 - V

A class M world with an Iron core and gravity rated at .86 G. Diameter is 11,800 kilimeters, with a total surface area of 489,000,000 square kilometers. Its atmosphere is nitrogen-oxygen, and thicker than expected for a planet of its size. It is 45% water, with 2 large land masses. Mineral content is mostly iron, copper, aluminum, and selenium, with trace deposits of topaline and peregium. Both land masses span the equator of the world, with the majority of their climate classified as tropical, with small temperate zones on either end of the North and South of each continent. Both land masses are verdant; with a large diversity of plant, animal, bacterial, and fungal life forms.

The sentient species occupies both land masses, and demonstrate phenotypic qualities of insects and amphibians. Life and Civilization Log is below:

# OB-412 - VI

A class L world with a rocky mantle and small iron core. It is comprised of mostly water with one small land mass on its northern pole. It has a thin oxygen-nitrogen atmosphere and average temperatures in the polar range.

# Class III Asteroid Belt

The asteroid belt serves as an outer perimeter border for the system. It is comprised of unremarkable elements.
