Waypoint 10 was nixed from the itinerary in favor of getting the fleet to Colonia a day ahead of schedule. Planet A 1 is known to most as the 'World of Death', a planet orbiting a white dwarf that passes through the jet cone. There's a short period where the elliptical orbit allows for a ship to land without hitting the exclusion zone of the star.
Most pilots who take on the challenge say that it's timing your departure that's the tricky part. Too soon or too late and you'll be fighting to point the ship into the escape vector to escape the Dwarf's exclusion zone. Orbital period is less than a couple standard hours. This should be a wild ride and a hell of a sight to see.
