  POLARIS STAR SYSTEM
  Allegiance : FEDERATION

 The Polaris star system was the site of the first and ultimately 
last Federation Temporal Phase Experiment. Thankfully the system 
contained no Class M worlds, limiting the loss of life to only the 
scientific team and the unfortunate inhabitants of the decommissioned 
Federation Starbase in orbit of nearby Polaris II. The Shockwave which 
laid waste to the Starbase caused significant anomalies throughout the 
system. The test was conducted in the upper atmosphere of Polaris III, 
using its massive gravitational field, in the hopes of creating a 
Sub-space conduit for hyper-travel to the Andromeda Galaxy. The experiment 
shifted the phase of approximately 1/3 of the gas giant's core leaving 
only a thin gas shell and drawing it's 2 satellites dangerously close. 
The experiment was successful only in creating a localized gravity well, 
as Polaris III's gravitational field was unsuitable to the task of opening 
a conduit. The remains of Polaris III are in a state of unstable temporal 
phase flux. The shock wave raced outward across the system reaching 
Polaris II and its orbiting Starbase within 4 minutes, leaving no time for 
evacuation of it's doomed occupants. Polaris II was shifted off it's axis, 
falling into a new solar orbit path. The wave continued on, reaching the 
binary planets of Polaris IA and IB, 5 minutes later. The planets were drawn 
together and their respective gravitational fields tore Polaris IIA's Moon 
apart. The Moon's remnants have been pulled into the orbits of both worlds 
in a delicate dance, belying it's catastrophic creation. When the shockwave 
reached the Polaris Star itself, core temperatures spiked, driving it 
headlong toward Supernova. Luckily, The wave had dissipated enough during 
it's travel to spare the system that fate. Polaris settled into it's new 
existance as a White Giant. Polaris IV survived virtually unscathed, having 
been sheltered on the far side of it's orbit behind Polaris, with only a 
deviated orbital path. The Gravity Well created by the event is a severe 
navgational hazard, capable of drawing in unsuspecting vessels that wander 
too near. It is escapable at impulse power by small, fast spacecraft, however 
larger vessels are reliant on a functional warp drive for any hopes of escape. 
The tattered remains of the Polaris Starbase are presently under Salvage 
contract to Horizon Industries and all violators will be prosecuted under 
applicable Federation Trade Laws.



Place Grwl file(Gravity Well) in your KA ship folder

Place Polaris.kas file in KA system folder

(Optional) add Starfield Textures to KA texture folder(Overwrites any existing 
   starfield textures)*See texture in Polaris pics at download site*

add the following line to your Qbsys.txt file in KA scripts folder
   QbSys.txt line:
Polaris = Polaris = -38583 32589 7927090 -43743 31452 8012339
