This small black hole (around 2.75 solar masses) at the end of the Lyras Song region is a rarity on the low star density and an excellent beacon to the vacuum that awaits you if you continue to descend the Perseus arm towards Tenebrae. At 35413 ly from Sol and 38046 ly from Sagittarius A*, you can play with the effects of gravitational lenses on the distant light of our galaxy.

For intense sensation lovers, you could also dive in the ice canyons of Pla Aick GA-A e1 4 a, a neon-rich landable with an atmosphere only lighted by distant stars.

Info about FC : Stationed on the southeast corner of the Lyra’s Song region, the DSSA Gam Nine offers an excellent stop for those venturing further into the Perseus Arm towards Tenebrae, in a road that becomes more absent of stars the further you go. Deployed on the “Search for the Pequod” expedition on 3306, it had the objective to search for the “white whales” of Lyra’s Song - the rare Quadripartite Pods unique to this region of the galaxy had only four variations, which compared to other types this is a low number. The search continues and will remain as long as the DSSA Gam Nine rests in its final position.

The carrier system is entirely covered in darkness, as Ostium Tenebris is the only star in the system. Nevertheless, the brightness of the milky way becomes the only light source available, creating a stunning yet spectral view. The carrier orbits body 2, a ringed gas giant whose darkened rings only become visible thanks to the light of the galaxy. Systems like these are relatively rare, as black holes are often partnered with stars, alone or with other black holes but rarely with planetary bodies of their own.

The DSSA Gam Nine continues its mission to support CMDRs delving into exploring life forms from Notable Stellar Phenomena, allowing them to submit their codex discoveries and sell their samples to support further studies.
