Default Re: [Space] Multiple/Lots of Stars in one system

This star system is not likely be stable long term, given how severely the orbits of the subcompanion stars overlap. The orbits of 4 and 5 should be adjusted so that their maximum separation is less than 90 AU and preferably about thirty. Alternatively, move Star 3's orbit out by 500 to 1000 AU if you want to keep the subcompanions where they are.

Or take a third option and make a plot point of the instability of this star system. EDIT: More specifically, it would take active means for this configuration to be maintained. Who or what is responsible for this would be up to the GM.

The +4 modifier for having a garden world should probably applied only once, as the description for the modifier only makes reference to 'a' garden world. As for the trinary modifier, it only applies to the second companion in a trinary system. As for the rest, see my earlier remarks in this thread.
