Leg 6 of the expedition returns back on itself, covering much of the same area as the latter half of Leg 5, but angling slightly back and ending up at the NGC 1893 cluster. We encourage deeper exploration of this region during this leg to seek more POIs for this region that has not been well explored for submission to catalogs like GEC. Due to the limited existing POIs for this region this leg does not have many POIs arranged.

  • POI: (NC) 2 ELW Binary
  • This systems is the GMP POI known as “The Twins’ Garden”, it is described as such: Situated in a rather sparse region, with few habitable planets around, this system has a wide variety of worlds orbiting its two stars. The most striking are the two binary Earth-likes orbiting each other, but there is also a nearby ammonia world orbiting a planet as its moon. The more distant second star has two water worlds orbiting it, one which has an ammonia atmosphere: both are candidates for terraforming.
    
    Additionally this system is home to the DSSA carrier named DLNV Leo’s Vision.

  • POI: NGC 1893 Cluster
  • NGC 1893 is an open cluster in the Auriga constellation region of the night sky as seen from Earth. Roughly 12,400 light years from our solar system (although 10,750 in game). It is located within an emission nebula IC 410, also known as the Tadpole Nebula.
    
    The Tadpole Nebula is very close in the sky to the Flaming Star Nebula from Leg 1 of our expedition, however in distance much further with the Flaming Star Nebula being only 1,500 Ly from earth and Tadpole Nebula being roughly 12,400 Ly from Earth. They are often imaged together though due to being so close to each other in the sky from our perspective.
