LIU Atlas - Sidere Artifex
There are billions of stars, millions of planets, but there is only one man, Terrance McDoogal. Welcome to LIU Atlas.
LIU Atlas - Sidere Artifex
The Ludgonian Industrial Union’s galaxy contains billions of stars and planets. Unfortunately, most residents of the LIU could only name a handful of these worlds. In order to improve astronomy grades across the LIU, TV2 has started a new program called LIU Atlas. Follow our host, Terrance McDoogal, as he takes you on a tour across the LIU and some of its more obscure worlds.

Doog: “Welcome to another episode of LIU Atlas. I’m your host, Terrance “Doog” McDoogal. Today, we are visiting one of the most famous and revered stars in the LIU Galaxy, Sidere Artifex. Sidere Artifex is a Type-O blue hypergiant star located in the outer edge of the galaxy’s Mid Rim. It is the most luminous star in the galaxy, making it visible to large portions of the galaxy. The dense inner core of the galaxy obscures Sidere Artifex from the worlds directly across from it, but it is visible to approximately 65% of the other worlds in the galaxy. Because it is such a bright presence in the night skies of so many worlds, Sidere Artifex has become an important part of the galactic culture.”
Doog: “Sidere Artifex is a luminous appearance in the night sky of countless worlds, and it has been incorporated into millions of different constellations. Because each world sees Sidere Artifex from a different angle, the constellations vary greatly. From the galactic capital, Ludgonia, Sidere Artifex is the crown jewel in the Emperor’s Crown constellation. From Mercor, Sidere Artifex falls into line with several other bright stars and forms the Perpetual Comet constellation. Coincidently, this constellation points in the general direction of Ludgonia, and is used by some travelers to quickly orient their ships. Sidere Artifex is the central star in Alucinor’s Star Lily constellation. Although, it’s not quite as cool as their silly lilies. If you remember back to our visit to Jötunheim, the extinct Jotun included Sidere Artifex in their Eye constellation. Unfortunately, the constellation has also gone extinct as star movements over the last 65,000 years have distorted the constellation. I could go on forever, but, well, I don’t get paid enough. So let’s move on.”
Doog: “Sidere Artifex has been deified and worshipped by many cultures in the galaxy. Being brighter than most other stars, Sidere Artifex often served as a figurative representation of a deity itself. It has been known as the ’King of the Sky’, ’God Star’, ’The Corporeal Soul’, et cetera. On some worlds, the prominent star’s place in the night sky indicated various religious holidays. The best example of this comes from the planet Colo, where the natives have built shrines that trace Sidere Artifex’s path in the sky. Its appearance at each shrine indicated various holidays, religious events, and even the seasons. Some cultures worshipped the star in their past before they advanced their knowledge and abandoned religion. While no longer deified per se, the star holds a special place in these worlds, as it has been deeply woven into their culture.”
Doog: “For many cultures, Sidere Artifex served as an invaluable navigational tool. Using different methods, early travelers were able to determine their direction of travel using the bright, reliable star. Sidere Artifex is a pole star for several thousand worlds allowing travelers to easily determine North and South. On other worlds, its well studied and documented path through the night sky allowed travelers to use its location to determine varying routes. On the world’s closest to Sidere Artifex, the star is so bright, it illuminates the night sky to a degree that night is almost indistinguishable from day.”
Doog: “As various cultures emerged into space, Sidere Artifex continued to be a great navigational tool. Its clear visibility allows travelers to easily locate it even in the densest of star fields. In today’s galaxy, pilots have been trained to detect certain optical markers in order to navigate their ships when their plotting or navigational computers fail. Sidere Artifex is one such marker, and it has been given the designation, Navigation Point 1, or Nav 1.”
Doog: “As the galaxy began to be explored, many races chose Sidere Artifex as their first destination. To their dismay, they found that the Type-O star had no planets. The star’s large gravity well had swallowed up much of the interior of its protoplanetary disk, while its fierce solar winds blew away the outer portions. Despite the lack of planets, many still chose to live among the majestic star and hundred of space stations were built in its orbit. Many of these space stations are extremely old and primitive.”
Doog: “Some stations, like this one here, were crudely built from recycled ship hulls and older space stations. This Frankenstein-like monstrosity is known as the Blue Sun Station. The Blue Sun Station is the most populated of the stations and it is an important center of travel, commerce, and tourism. It is where we are headed.”
Doog: “Alright folks, I’ve been dropped off here in one of the nicer looking areas of the station, which isn’t saying much. I’m not entirely sure where I’m supposed to be heading, but eventually we need to find the Blue Sun Tourism center. I guess I’ll enlist the help of one of these guys. Excuse me, do you know this place well?”
Spacer: “You betcha. I was born and raised on this very station. I know it like the back of my hand.”
Doog: “Ugh…a spacer…please don’t shank me.”
Spacer: “Ha! Why would I shank you man?”
Doog: “I heard spacers were crazy. Something about never feeling the warmth of the sun on your face or the wind blowing through your hair, supposedly you’ve all been driven mad.”
Spacer: “All that junk is just legend. Besides, I’ll take flickering florescent lights and dank ventilation air over the sun and wind.”
Doog: “To each their own, I suppose. So, can you help me out? Where is this Tourism Center?”
Spacer: “You betcha. I was born and raised on this very station. I know it like the back of my hand.”
Doog: “Ugh…a spacer…please don’t shank me.”
Spacer: “Ha! Why would I shank you man?”
Doog: “I heard spacers were crazy. Something about never feeling the warmth of the sun on your face or the wind blowing through your hair, supposedly you’ve all been driven mad.”
Spacer: “All that junk is just legend. Besides, I’ll take flickering florescent lights and dank ventilation air over the sun and wind.”
Doog: “To each their own, I suppose. So, can you help me out? Where is this Tourism Center?”
Spacer: “Well, you’re on Deck 2.2, or the Pilot Bay. Most of the people here are cargo or passenger pilots. There’s housing, a few bars, and some parts shops. The Tourism Center, if I remember correctly, is on Deck 2.7. However, it can only be accessed via the Cargo Hold on Deck 3.3”
Doog: “That’s confusing. What’s up with all the decimal points? It sounds like math…and I don’t math.”
Spacer: “You have to remember that this space station is really a collection of several smaller stations. The decks don’t properly align. There is no straight level. Deck 2 is made up of three heights. See that ladder over there? Well, that connects Deck 2.2 to Deck 2.4. Go north from there, and you’ll find a staircase that will take you all the way up to Deck 3.3. I think there’s a ladder down to Deck 2.7 a few hundred yards from there.”
Doog: “I hate this place…”
Doog: “That’s confusing. What’s up with all the decimal points? It sounds like math…and I don’t math.”

Doog: “I hate this place…”
Charles: “Ah, you must be Doog. I’m Charles, a tour guide with the Tourism Center.”
Doog: “You sure made this place hard to find. I darn near toured the whole station looking for this place. I’m not sure you’ll be of any use after all of that.”
Charles: “Had some difficulties, huh? Don’t worry. Your troubles are over. This section of the station has been fully remodeled. It is much easier to navigate. And, trust me, I’ll still be plenty of use to you. There’s a lot more to see.”
Doog: “You sure made this place hard to find. I darn near toured the whole station looking for this place. I’m not sure you’ll be of any use after all of that.”
Charles: “Had some difficulties, huh? Don’t worry. Your troubles are over. This section of the station has been fully remodeled. It is much easier to navigate. And, trust me, I’ll still be plenty of use to you. There’s a lot more to see.”
Charles: “The Tourism Center here on the Blue Sun Station handles millions of visitors every year. Sidere Artifex is a popular destination for many travelers. Our facility has several dining locations, bars, and shops to service all our visitor’s needs.”
Doog: “Is that a post office? Who the heck needs a post office these days?”
Charles: “Yes, it is. Plenty of people need it too. Tourists use it mail postcards and such. Travelers and spacers that do not have a permanent address often set up P.O. Boxes here, so they can stop in on occasion and grab their mail.”
Doog: “Yeah, Emperor forbid someone doesn’t get their mail. All that important stuff like ads and coupons.”
Doog: “Is that a post office? Who the heck needs a post office these days?”
Charles: “Yes, it is. Plenty of people need it too. Tourists use it mail postcards and such. Travelers and spacers that do not have a permanent address often set up P.O. Boxes here, so they can stop in on occasion and grab their mail.”
Doog: “Yeah, Emperor forbid someone doesn’t get their mail. All that important stuff like ads and coupons.”
Doog: “So, this place is pretty much a space based mall with inflated prices to screw over tourists.”
Charles: “What!? No, it’s much more than that. Come on, follow me.”
Charles: “What!? No, it’s much more than that. Come on, follow me.”
Charles: “Here in the Tourist Center, visitors can go onto our observation deck and see Sidere Artifex in person. They can bask in its majestic glory…for a small fee.”
Doog: “Yeah, I’m not paying a fee to see a star. I see stars for free all the time.”
Charles: “I’ll wave the entry fee for you. But, you’ll have the pay the rental fees for the glasses.”
Doog: “Glasses?”
Doog: “Yeah, I’m not paying a fee to see a star. I see stars for free all the time.”
Charles: “I’ll wave the entry fee for you. But, you’ll have the pay the rental fees for the glasses.”
Doog: “Glasses?”
Charles: “Safety eyewear is necessary for viewing the star. Trust me, you don’t want to look directly at the galaxy’s brightest star from this short of a distance without glasses.”
Doog: “What a bunch of wimps. I don’t need any glasses. Especially ones I have to pay for.”
Charles: “Please reconsider.”
Doog: “I like to live adventurously. Besides, Cyclops guy isn’t wearing any glasses.”
Cyclops: “Not my choice. Apparently, this center only caters to those with two eyes. I’ll have to ‘bring my own’ they say. Screw them and their discriminatory glasses.”
Doog: “Amen. Let’s do this.”
Doog: “What a bunch of wimps. I don’t need any glasses. Especially ones I have to pay for.”
Charles: “Please reconsider.”
Doog: “I like to live adventurously. Besides, Cyclops guy isn’t wearing any glasses.”
Cyclops: “Not my choice. Apparently, this center only caters to those with two eyes. I’ll have to ‘bring my own’ they say. Screw them and their discriminatory glasses.”
Doog: “Amen. Let’s do this.”
Doog: “Wow…it’s…it’s…beautiful. And…now it’s gone. What’s the deal? Who turned out the lights?”
Charles: “I believe you are experiencing blindness. The star is still visible.”
Charles: “I believe you are experiencing blindness. The star is still visible.”
Doog: “Blindness! Is it permanent?!”
Charles: “Perhaps not, but you should probably stop looking at it as soon as possible.”
Doog: “I’m not looking at anything! I’m blind!”
Charles: “Yes, but your eyes are still open and pointed towards the star.”
Doog: “Not my best decision, but interestingly, not my worst.”
Cyclops: “Talk for yourself. I think my brain is burning…”
Charles: “Perhaps not, but you should probably stop looking at it as soon as possible.”
Doog: “I’m not looking at anything! I’m blind!”
Charles: “Yes, but your eyes are still open and pointed towards the star.”
Doog: “Not my best decision, but interestingly, not my worst.”
Cyclops: “Talk for yourself. I think my brain is burning…”
Doog: “Alright, alright. I think it is getting a bit better.”
Charles: “There’s a medical station right here. Perhaps a visit would be wise.”
Doog: “There’s no way I’m paying a doctor bill. Besides, I think it’s getting better. Look, there’s a medical station right here.”
Charles: “Your just saying that because I told you there was a medical station there. What color is the wall striping?”
Doog: “Black…like the rest of the walls…and everything else.”
Charles: “Yeah, you’re still blind. They’re your eyes though. Your choice.”
Charles: “There’s a medical station right here. Perhaps a visit would be wise.”

Doog: “Black…like the rest of the walls…and everything else.”
Charles: “Yeah, you’re still blind. They’re your eyes though. Your choice.”
Charles: “One of the biggest draws here is the Lux Regatta.”
Doog: “The what?”
Charles: “The Lux Regatta. A sailing competition that take place around Sidere Artifex.”
Doog: “You mean, like, solar sailing?”
Charles: “Exactly. Sidere Artifiex has some of the strongest solar winds in the galaxy. These winds reach speeds of up to 2000 km/s. Ships, propelled only with solar sails, use these winds to race around the star. Because all racers have access to the same amount of thrust, the race is heavily reliant on skill. Racers must take efficient routes, deploy and retract their sails as necessary, and keep free of other racers”
Doog: “Is it popular?”
Charles: “Indeed. The regatta takes places every eighteen days during solar maximums. Throughout the year, the regatta attracts over a million visitors. The Lux Regatta Championship, the yearly conclusion to the racing series, draws large crowds and high viewership on TV2.”

Doog: “Cool. So, these are the racers?”
Charles: “Yes. I see your vision is returning. Very good.”
Doog: “Yeah, slowly but surely. I really like this purple racer, mostly because it’s sponsored my BJ’s. Can’t go wrong with BJ’s.”
Charles: “It’s blue and sponsored by LJ’s, so I guess your vision isn’t 100% yet.”
Charles: “Yes. I see your vision is returning. Very good.”
Doog: “Yeah, slowly but surely. I really like this purple racer, mostly because it’s sponsored my BJ’s. Can’t go wrong with BJ’s.”
Charles: “It’s blue and sponsored by LJ’s, so I guess your vision isn’t 100% yet.”
Doog: “LJ’s huh? Not as exciting in my opinion, but whatever. So, do these racers get lots of sponsorships?”
Charles: “Absolutely. Many LIU companies, especially those involved in fuel and spaceship parts, pour money into the race for the free advertising.”
Doog: “Gotcha. And this place is like prep area or something?”
Charles: “Yes. The ship’s sails are not assembled until the race. They are very delicate. Speaking of which, perhaps we should let them get to work. Let’s head out and catch a race.”
Doog: “So, how do we watch a race around a star? Seeing as I’m just getting my vision back, I’m not to eager to stare into the blinding star again.”
Charles: “Follow me.”
Charles: “Absolutely. Many LIU companies, especially those involved in fuel and spaceship parts, pour money into the race for the free advertising.”

Doog: “So, how do we watch a race around a star? Seeing as I’m just getting my vision back, I’m not to eager to stare into the blinding star again.”
Charles: “Follow me.”
Charles: “The race is watched via viewing barges. These barges allow spectators to see the race up close. There are several hundred barges spread along the length of the race.”
Doog: “What about the blinding sun issue?”
Charles: “The barge is fitted with filtered windows. They are made of the same material as the viewing glasses. You should see the race without issue.”
Doog: “How does the race work? Start at the sun and race outward, I guess? I mean they have to travel that direction if they are utilizing the solar wind.”
Doog: “What about the blinding sun issue?”
Charles: “The barge is fitted with filtered windows. They are made of the same material as the viewing glasses. You should see the race without issue.”
Doog: “How does the race work? Start at the sun and race outward, I guess? I mean they have to travel that direction if they are utilizing the solar wind.”
Charles: “No, the race encircles Sidere Artifex and the Blue Sun Station. The race consists of thirty laps.”
Doog: “How does that work with the solar wind?”
Charles: “It’s simple. The racers deploy the sail when moving away from Sidere Artifex and retract it as they approach. During the approach, the racers depend on the star’s strong gravity. The gravity assist they get from the star builds even more speed. These races start off very slowly, but the effect of the winds and gravity build on each other. By the end of the race, the racers are traveling thousands of kilometers a second.”

Doog: “From watching paint dry to blink and you missed them. Not my type of entertainment, but I see that many do enjoy it.”
Charles: “Yeah, it’s not for everybody. If you’re the type of guy that likes races with crashes, ramming, and bumping, you’re not going to like solar sailing. Like I said before, this is a real skill sport. There’s lots to take in account, like turning and braking with only the use of sails. The leader of the race also has to make sure no one gets in too close behind him. You wouldn’t want another racer to steal your wind. The more you learn about the sport, the more interesting it becomes.”
Doog: “Cool. But, unfortunately, I don’t have any more time to learn about it. Thanks for the tour Charles. I’ll see you later.”
Charles: “We’re on a viewing barge in the middle of space. I do believe you are here for the remainder of the race.”
Doog: “So, I am. Forgot about that. Please, continue on with the subtleties of solar sailing for the next four hours…”

Doog: “Alright folks, there’s one more stop we need to make before we end this episode. We’ve already visited the Blue Sun Station, but there’s one more station in orbit that we need to check out. This is the LIU’s Science Station. Scientists here are studying the massive, bright star. Supposedly, they found something amazing.”
Doog: “Alright, I’ve been dropped off onboard the Science Station. I believe this lovely lady is our guide.”
Doog: “I heard you might be interested in a super bright star. Look no further, I am the incredibly intelligent star of LIU Atlas, Doog.”
Jenny: “And I’m married.”
Doog: “Nice to meet you, Mary. So, how about…”
Jenny: “No, not Mary, married. I have a husband.”
Doog: “Oh…well, to the interview then. What can you tell me about this place?”
Jenny: “This facility is devoted to studying this rare star. Type-O stars are extremely rare, accounting for only .00003% of main sequence stars. Sidere Artifiex is even more rare, considering its size and illumination. It nearly defies the classification system.”
Doog: “How so?”
Jenny: “And I’m married.”
Doog: “Nice to meet you, Mary. So, how about…”
Jenny: “No, not Mary, married. I have a husband.”
Doog: “Oh…well, to the interview then. What can you tell me about this place?”
Jenny: “This facility is devoted to studying this rare star. Type-O stars are extremely rare, accounting for only .00003% of main sequence stars. Sidere Artifiex is even more rare, considering its size and illumination. It nearly defies the classification system.”
Doog: “How so?”
Jenny: “The star’s Helium II absorption lines indicate that it is indeed a Type-O star, but there have been several anomalies relating to its age.”
Doog: “Like what?”
Jenny: “Stars like this have considerably shorter life spans than other main sequence stars. Sidere Artifex should supernova after three or four million years.”
Doog: “Wait…how long as it been here?! Am I in danger?”
Doog: “Like what?”
Jenny: “Stars like this have considerably shorter life spans than other main sequence stars. Sidere Artifex should supernova after three or four million years.”
Doog: “Wait…how long as it been here?! Am I in danger?”
Jenny: “That’s the thing, when we attempted to determine the star’s age, we detected an anomaly. Sidere Artifex has lower amounts of metals in its composition, which means the star is a lot younger than anyone anticipated. Almost too young. Sidere Artifex’s composition dates it as being newly created.”
Doog: “Well, that can’t be right.”
Jenny: “Exactly. We know from historical records that Sidere Artifiex has been around for thousands and thousands of years. We can even map its gravitational influence over time dating it back millions of years. Somehow, Sidere Artifex is refreshing itself.”
Doog: “How does a star refresh itself?”
Jenny: “Well, that’s the true nature of our studies. When the anomaly was detected, we did several in depth scans of the star. They revealed something incredible.”
Doog: “What?”
Jenny: “There is a device in the star. Somehow, it is removing fusion byproducts and replacing it with fresh hydrogen.”
Doog: “Well, that can’t be right.”
Jenny: “Exactly. We know from historical records that Sidere Artifiex has been around for thousands and thousands of years. We can even map its gravitational influence over time dating it back millions of years. Somehow, Sidere Artifex is refreshing itself.”

Doog: “What?”
Jenny: “There is a device in the star. Somehow, it is removing fusion byproducts and replacing it with fresh hydrogen.”
Doog: “Wait…there’s a machine in the star.”
Jenny: “Yes. It appears that it is technology developed by the progenitor race we call, the Star Artists. We’ve run across their technology on other star systems. On these other worlds, we’ve been able to interact with their machinery. From it, we have developed great technologies, like Fusion Star Chambers and Star Haulers. Unfortunately, we can’t interact with the Star Refresher. If we could, who knows what technologies we could develop.”
Doog: “What efforts are being taken?”
Jenny: “We’re trying to connect to it wirelessly, and we’re making some progress. Unfortunately, there’s not much else I can tell you. Most of the project is classified.”
Doog: “Of course. Anything else to add?”
Jenny: “You need to work on your pick up lines.”
Doog: “Thanks for that.”
Jenny: “Yes. It appears that it is technology developed by the progenitor race we call, the Star Artists. We’ve run across their technology on other star systems.

Doog: “Thanks for that.”
Doog: “Well folks, Sidere Artifex is an important part of the galaxy’s past, present, and future. Whether your admiring it from the night skies of your home planet, using it to navigate the stars, or catching the Lux Regatta, I’m sure Sidere Artifex has had some impact on your life. Who knows what impacts it will have in the future. See ya!”
Note:
Several of the stars surrounding Sidere Artifex also show signs of being manipulated. Many experts believe this section of the galaxy was some sort of “star garden” created by the progenitors. This region of the galaxy is often referred to as the Garden Sector.
