Title: The Serpent Swarm
Post by: bankshot on June 09, 2020, 09:10:06 PM

I just discovered the V577 Monoceri system, which is a low-mass binary.  Star A has one dwarf planet with .094 G of gravity and 2.0 cost.  But it also has 108 asteroids.  Of those 104 of them are colony cost 2.0.  And #104 has .10G surface gravity, so it can retain atmosphere and be terraformed!  24M max pop and a terraforming rate of 99.3.  I now have a nearly endless supply of places to dump extra finance centers (to tax smuggling income) and civilian administrators who have displeased me due to their incompetence or corruption.   

I know Larry Niven said the swarm was supposed to be in Alpha Centauri but I'll take it...
