Marvels of The Veils

I'm in the Veils again.It took a long time to get out the Formorian Frontier. For a start, it's vast. Then, I decided to fly across the outer border, almost close to the Abyss, and there weren't many stars to jump to so my route was fairly erratic.
Nonetheless, I am now in the Veils again, and they are awesome. Hands down the most eventul sector I've explored so far, and I'm including my previous loop of the Galaxy in this statement.
In less than 10000 light years I've discovered about a dozen Earth Like Worlds, maybe 50 Water Worlds and a couple dozen Ammonia worlds.
I've taken so many pictures that I could fill a gallery just with planets of The Veils.
But I'll post just a few.
This is a nice ringed Water World I came across.
This is one of the many Earth likes I discovered.
And this one is another Earth Like, its main feature being that I got distracted and face-planted onto its atmosphere, further damaging my power plant in the process.
Of all the Ammonia Worlds I found, this might be the prettiest.
The most interesting thing I saw in The Veils however is a Brown Dwarf with two sets of rings, the outer one humongous, almost 200 light seconds across. Between the outer and the inner ring two rocky planets orbit each other, both of them orbiting the star.
I had never seen something of the like.
I also had a couple of dangerous close calls.
In the first one I landed between an A star and its M star companion. Once again I managed to maneuver out of their furnace before my ship started frying.
In the second one I landed between two stars and managed to escape, only to end between another two binaries. This time my temperature got close to 100%, but I managed to get clear without popping my last Heat Sink.
This one was close.
Anyway, I'm not even halfway through The Veils, I look forward to seeing what else lies within.
