Changes: Beta Magellan system

Revision as of 22:11, 17 November 2012

The Beta Magellan system (also known as the Bynar system) was an inhabited planetary system with multiple stars. The system was located near Tarsas III.

In 2364, after one of the stars in the system supernovaed, the Bynar-hijacked USS Enterprise-D entered into orbit around the planet Bynaus with a complete copy of the database of the planet's main computer core, which had been transmitted to the ship during the journey to protect the data from the electromagnetic effects of the supernova passing through the planet. With a successful download of the duplicate data, the Bynars were averted from an extinction event. (TNG: "11001001")

-{{bginfo|Supernovas vary in effect depending upon the type.  Generally they are thought to be devastating enough that if a primary star were to go supernova no planet in the system could survive unscathed.  However, systems consisting of multiple stars (such as the {{w|Nu Scorpii}} system with seven stars orbiting each other anywhere from 175 AUs to 5500 AUs apart) could experience the event quite differently.  For context, the entire solar system has a diameter of about 79 AU.  So if a distant star in the Bynar system, say 5000 AU from Bynar, were to experience a {{w|Type Ia supernova}} it would take about 2 months for the light-speed EM field to effect Bynar (and provide 2 months to plan to hijack the Enterprise).  Bynar's orbit might be affected over time, and the environment might suffer some ill effects for years, but the immediate supernova would likely not destroy the planet.}}
