Orrery

+| Feature | Details |+|---|---|+| **Type** | Point of Interest / Artifact |+| **Location** | Axum Observatory |+| **Scan Required** | Scanner |+ +![Orrery screenshot](Orrery screenshot.png)+ +The **Orrery** is an Axum artifact found within the [Axum Observatory](Axum_Observatory). Scanning the Orrery gives a databank entry detailing the structure of the [Eido-Thea System](Eido-Thea_System).+ +## Description+Upon entering the Orrery room it is in an inactive state, but after a short delay it will begin to unfold, moving the rings into place.+ +Contrary to what the entry describes, the Orrery displays only four planets rather than seven, and Apiary only shows two moons rather than three.+ +## Databank Entry+**Source:** Scan the Orrery within the Axum Observatory+ +> This model of an alien solar system contains two stars, seven planets, and three moons.+>+> - Two binary stars orbiting in physical contact. Proposed names: "Eido" and "Thea". Observations at the sea surface suggest they are class MOV red dwarfs, smaller, colder, and longer-lived than Earth's sun.+> - A small, rapidly orbiting world close to the stars+> - A planet with an elliptical orbit that swings close to the stars, then climbs far outward+> - A gas giant with three large moons, one of which is this world (proposed name: Proteus)+> - A tiny planet which shares the gas giant's orbit, racing ahead of it+> - A large, rocky world+> - A cold ice giant with an inclined orbit+> - An ice giant with a very large ring system+>+> Nearby stars are also indicated by lights around the orrery, including a pulsar. Pulsars can be used as lighthouses to fix a star's position in the galaxy. Consult the Noetic Advisor for further analysis.+>+> Assessment: this orrery is probably a historical site. It was built by Axum with an advanced but pre-modern understanding of astronomy. Until a colony observatory can be constructed, it represents the best available information about the Eido-Thea system and the worlds near Proteus.+ +## Gallery+![Render of the Orrery](Orrery.png)
