Default Re: Colonial Fleet star system Cyrannus

Remember that the Home System is a multi-stellar group, of at least a trinary. This will greatly increase the depth of the Goldilocks Zone.

However, making them all moons of inner system gas giants is problematic if there are multiple gas giants....Unless, of course, you drop it to a single giant in a stable orbit, and one or two independent planets....

...But then, there is the problem of dialogue in SOASW, specifically Omega: "..Cylons launching against all outer planets..." (emphasis added) -- how to account for that?

I think that three suns, spread relatively far apart, each with its own planetary mini-system, is a better option. Basing this on the Terran system, there would be at least two "normal" planets around two of the stars, leaving room for an inner system gas giant around the third, with a constellation of "terraformable" [sic] moons.....
