Time to look for the author...*** Re: "Hobus" |
Suddenly, without the warning usually associated with these events, the Hobus Star, a rather unremarkable star deep in Romulus space, begins the process of going nova with a violent eruption into it's own system.
Roughly 40 stars go nova a year, it's not particularly unusual. Governments issue navigational advisories and star charts are updated. However, this nova is close enough to Romulus for Spock, a consummate scientist, to easily observe using his subspace telescope. Shortly after this eruption he sees something astounding and, nevertheless, very concerning. The star's eruption shock-wave has converted the mass from the planets' in its system into energy. A phenomenon never before observed. He begins to study the activity and quickly hypothesizes that this sequence will result in a new form of supernova event.
A typical supernova, the dying star begins to implode but reaches a point where it can no longer take the inward pressure and a massive explosion is generated, leaving little matter at the center of the star... usually a blackhole.
The Hobus star is different. It is slowly expanding, converting mass into energy with each expansion comes an explosion, the nature of these explosions are unlike anything ever seen before. Each implosion/explosion sequence results in the star taking the recently pulverized matter, converting it to energy as it implodes (pulling the debris back) and then generating another explosion larger than the last.
The shockwave from each explosion is more violent, more destructive and warps space further to travel faster than light. The sequence appears exponential.
