Resource Evaluation: Star System MW-28PBD-3, ‘Dweedle’
Introduction
Star system codename Dweedle contains nine planets of discernable interest, along with significant quantities of planetoids, planetids, planetesimals, and planeters, but no planeterns. The following is an overview of Dweedle’s star and planets in terms of atypical or noteworthy features as they pertain to pursuing avenues of resource exploitation.
Description
Dweedle ‘S0L’
A modest yellow dwarf star inhabited by a typical array of hyperpyrophiliac superprocesses running within the star’s core. They have made no objections to our explorations in standard supralegal symbolism or otherwise, as is – again – typical. Aside from any long-scope hyperspatial turbation emitted by their activities, they might as well not exist.
Output is typical in all spectrums, from visible to invisible to susceptible. No trace of ‘star blight’ in corona. Vaccination against abstraction is up to date.
Dweedle-1 ‘M ERC7’
A small rocky planet immersed in the perpetual center of a Twainsmith-style spatial fold approximately 1.5 kiloeons in timebreadth. This is most easily explicable as the planet having been transposed into its current near-star and deeply inhospitable orbit by a Main Long ‘Watchmaker’ type astellar entity as some sort of experiment/prank/punishment/self-martyrdom/other. Judging from the flavour of the suturing this appears to have happened at least sixteen million lightyears away and seven billion years in the future, so there is no present cause for alarm or mediation.
In its current state it would be a modest fit for stellar extraction dockyards, provided the facilities were buffered against both extreme temperatures and metaphysical ‘doom cramps.’
Dweedle-2 ‘V N05’
A middling rocky planet possessing a superheavy atmosphere after suffering billions of years of drive-by antisiphoning operations by vacuum traffickers looking to skim a little extra off the top of their paycheques, as can be transparently verified by the most cursory of research into local shipping records and law bleepers. Fossil and temporal evidence suggests a single native species consisting of one autochthonous entity that was driven to extinction one billion years ago after its bulk circumvented the planet and it attempted to eat itself.
The cleanup to make anything worthwhile here would cost more than any potential profit. A dump it has become, a dump it will remain. At least the pressure and temperature will do the work for you.
Dweedle-3 ‘arth’
A middling rocky planet covered in volatile hydrogen dioxide whose unstable crust and erosive atmosphere are matched by its preposterously rickety local life, which have clogged all of Dweedle’s intra-system communications frequencies, bands, wavelengths, and tripfonts of grunge-grade or lower with useless drivel.
There is absolutely nothing here of any value. Luckily the chance of sporogenesis appears extremely low.
Dweedle-4 ‘M4 RS’
A modest rocky planet with pleasantly red surface and a light carbon dioxide atmosphere. The surface shows subcrustal canalization and buried jungles carved from rust, indicating past ‘doodling’ by hyperdimensional rubberneckers with access to basic retrocasuality engines and too much nontime on their parahands.
The near-ephemeral atmosphere provides high annual radfall, which would make this an excellent place for growing cheap and bountiful tumorous-qualia infrastructure, as long as you don’t mind working with biocode and exporting carbon all day.
Dweedle-5 ‘J0V E’
A large gas planet – the largest in Dweedle – currently in the throes of a multi-million year ‘civic disturbance’ (a war by any other name) between the north and south poles of its magnetic field using ever-advancing methods of causing maximum entropic termination to the enemy, the latest of which appears to be using the larger of the planet’s moons as staging grounds. The most prominent casualty of this beyond the escalatingly-absurd width of the planet’s magnetosphere is a multicentury-long ‘blood storm’ marking the exponentially-increasing spread of an Absolute Kill Zone which will reach the core and detonate the entire planet within the next thousand years, entirely saturating Dweedle with magnetoid querks and antipathic vibes fatal to most conventionally physics-based objects, concepts, and forces.
A diplomatic solution would be costly and probably impossible. A duplicitous solution only barely less so.
Dweedle-6 ‘S4T R N mk II’
A large gas ‘planet’ that has in historic time taken the place of the preceding (smaller, ice planet) S4T R N by infesting its core with intergalactic missile-spores, hollowing it out from the inside using an abrasive and rotational digestive system , and exploding the last remnants of its host outwards in a gory ring of ice shrapnel that now orbits its slayer’s gas corpus. It is currently sleeping off its meal and is projected to be in a snacking mood in about two hundred million years; ravenous and roaming by a billion.
If you can find a QhD with enough funding to get industrial-strength temporal wrapping on a research base and keep it running for the next galactic year, they might eventually learn enough to come back and ask you for more funding. Otherwise, this is dangerous AND useless.
Dweedle-7 ‘UR @ N0Z’
A large ice giant with a pronounced list due to the centrifultimate struggle between its rings, its dark rings, its nonrings, and its unrings, all of which share the same spatial location but occupy different perceptions and emotional states. Otherwise unexciting.
An exposure therapy clinic could charge through the nose here, but the necessary telescopes required to fully focus the ring system onto a single client would be ruinously expensive in upkeep even if its clientele were wealthy enough to buy nebulae on crednought. Furthermore, parapsychomathematical forecasts warn of an irreducible 0.3% chance of ‘selfification,’ and any patient wealthy enough to afford such a clinic doubtlessly possesses a personality incompatible with being transposed into a fifth set of planetary rings for a time beyond measurable boundaries of infinity plus !one!.
Dweedle-8 ‘N3T TUN’
A large ice giant.
It’s much too smooth.
Dweedle-9 ‘ N ’
A muddling nonplanet deformed of a rigid and sour muucaV bubble erected over a desynthesized unaggregation of anti-anti-anti-matter, upheld in context through Main Short philosophical counter-abstraction. Its inhabitants may have autoannihilated, placed themselves in defensive paraexistence, or have cocooned themselves as part of a joint dissolution towards Main Median; no clues are available without more intrusive probing, which would cause Dweedle reality to no longer be compatible with continued reality. Comprehensibly dangerous.
Don’t think about it and don’t think about not thinking about it.
Analysis
Dweedle has dwindled from its peak population of six inhabited stellar bodies down to two-ish and counting plus/minus one, due to a combination of ill fortune, carelessness, greed, and blind idiocy both from without and within the system. None of these diminishments has freed up resources, presented new opportunities, or opened up new spaces; on the contrary, they have frequently consumed them or replaced them with catastrophic detriments. Any conveniences it offers are almost inevitably beset with vexing complexities, costly externalities, and in the single case where no obvious barriers to exploitation were present (Dweedle-4, ‘M4 RS’) the net benefit was a small-scale tumour-export business… in a system with a minimum of two apocalyptic clocks (Dweedle-7, Dweedle-9).
Conclusion
Dweedle is eminently unsuitable/contaminated and should be avoided with prejudice by any and all entities with any sense, commercial or otherwise. Nothing of value is present.
