TRAPPIST-1 System is the 15th Interstellar Object and the 8th Exoplanet obtained in the Beyond (Unlocked at Rank 21, branching off of Kepler-186f), which can generate Stardust 
.
In-Game Description[]
"Seven rocky worlds orbit the solo star TRAPPIST-1, shining like moons in each other’s skies. Three planets are in the habitable zone, and all seven could have water. The orbital plane is flat and stable, with circular paths, like Earth’s. But there are perils."
Traits and Constellations[]
TRAPPIST-1 System is affected by the rare traits Indirect Observation, and the epic traits Cosmology, Dark Matter, and Dark Energy. It is also affected by the constellations Eridanus and Canis Major.
| Type | Name | Description | Requires |
|---|---|---|---|
| Speed | Perils to Life | Tiny TRAPPIST-1 is the coldest known parent star, but its offspring keep close and warm. Most or all of them are tidally locked, with extremes of heat and light, and they endure strong tidal forces and radiation flares. Life is still a maybe, with more data to come. | |
| Payout | Planetary Systems | Solar systems like TRAPPIST-1 abound. Current exoplanet data project that in the Milky Way alone, 40 billion earthlike planets orbit dwarf stars. And don’t forget the moons! In our own system, Europa, Titan, and Enceladus pique the curiosity of exobiologists. | Perils to Life |
System Components[]
Star[]
- TRAPPIST-1 - An M8V Red Dwarf with seven oribiting exoplanets, located in the zodiac constellation of Aquarius. It is located 40 light years away and is one of the coldest stars known. It is barely larger than the planet of Jupiter.
Exoplanets[]
- TRAPPIST-1 b - A terrestrial planet slightly larger than Earth. It spends around 1.5 days to orbit its mother star. The JWST's observations seems to suggest it has no atmosphere and is too close to TRAPPIST-1. It is suggested to be very dark.
- TRAPPIST-1 c - A terrestrial planet slightly larger than Earth. It spends around 2.4 days to orbit its mother star. Observations suggest it does not have a thick atmosphere. It is too hot for life.
- TRAPPIST-1 d - A terrestrial planet smaller than Earth. It spends approximately 4.05 days to orbit its mother star. The planet is likely to have a compact hydrogen-poor atmosphere similar to Venus, Earth, or Mars. It is also suggested to be in the inner edge of the habitable zone.
- TRAPPIST-1 e - A terrestrial planet similar to Earth. It's one full orbit takes 6.099 days. The planet is likely to have a compact, hydrogen-free atmosphere like the Solar System's rocky planets,
- TRAPPIST-1 f - An Earth-sized planet likely to be rocky. It spends around 9.206 days to orbit its mother star. According to Spitzer Space Telescope, the planet is likely to be tidally locked. It is also suggested to possess a thick ocean covered by atmosphere rich in abiotic oxygen.
- TRAPPIST-1 g - A terrestrial planet larger than Earth which one full orbit takes approximately 12.354 days. It is within the optimistic habitable zone of its host star, however likely covered by a thick ice envelope if an atmosphere does not exist.
- TRAPPIST-1 h - A water-world planet one third the mass of Earth. It is the outermost known planet in the system, spending 18.868 days to orbit the mother star. It could harbor liquid water under an Hydrogen-rich atmosphere.
Achievements[]
| Name | Description | Requires |
|---|---|---|
| Earth Similarity Index | ESI uses seven factors to measure how earthlike a planet is. Earth scores a 1. TRAPPIST-1d has an ESI of .89, greater than Venus (.444) and Mars (.697). Teegarden b rates even higher at .93. Just 12.5 light years away, it orbits a calm red dwarf in the habitable zone. | TRAPPIST-1 System Rank 3 |
| Perfect Harmony | As in the TRAPPIST-1 system, five planets of the TOI-178 system orbit in resonance, regularly syncing in a chorus line. Spaced apart at birth, they left each other undisturbed and so were able to fall into a rhythmic ratio of orbital periods: 18:9:6:4:3. | TRAPPIST-1 System Rank 6 |
