Perfect Ratio
Rapport parfait
Description
Orbital durations in the … system exhibit a remarkable pattern. Each planet orbits the star in exactly double the time of its neighbor, accurate to over a thousandth of a second.
This anomalously perfect ratio warrants investigation.
Where to find it
No particular location is required.
Possible outcomes
Rewards read from the event effects. Some depend on conditions (empire type, earlier choices) or on chance.
Orbital Resonance
Console: event extreme_frontiers.440
Description
… exhibits the most perfect example of orbital resonance we have ever encountered.
Each planet exerts a periodic gravitational force on its neighbor when they are at their nearest points, creating a catapult effect and mutually dependent momentum. The unusual stability of these interactions results in highly coordinated orbits.
The system offers an excellent opportunity to study the way planetary gravity accelerates the motion of passing objects, with possible applications to ship maneuvering.
