MS2061-1957

The star system known only by its catalog number MS2061-1957 is in the early stages of planet-formation. The USS Mumbai travelled there to search for the USS Prospero. (TOSS)

A protoplanetary disc of gas, icy dust, and planetesimals is rapidly (in cosmic terms) condensing in to planets, with the largest by far being MS2061-1957b, a gas giant forming on the frost line around 500 million kilometers from the star. Over the next 10,000 years it would be expected to grow to contain most of the material orbiting the star.

In 2265, the USS Prospero was on its first scientific mission exploring the system, when it issued a distress call and had to be rescued by the USS Mumbai. (TOSS #23 "Briefing", #28 "Rec Room")
