Back then, I considered myself incapable of making addons and thus, contributing to Celestia's content. But this all changes now.
I'll be making a few addons, fictional or realistic, just to express my creativity, and to populate certain system that are not given any mentions
That being said, I'll start with black holes, and I may work mostly on black holes because they are my favorite objects in the Universe.
So, without further ado, I present to you my first ever black hole addon, and my first ever proper addon: Terminus!
About Terminus:
Terminus is a fictional black hole that I made for a concept story I am not finished with, but I may be fleshing it out. Terminus is a 5 Solar Mass black hole, and thus, among the smallest black holes. But it is rapidly growing, and is quiet active in its consumption of matter, thus making it a microquasar. Sometime in the near future, the Theosophos Civiliation, one of the major groups of humans from Earth who escaped Earth after the Sun became a red giant and consumed it, arrived at a stellar system, and Terminus just so happens to be among the nearest objects. Thanks to their nano digistruction technology, and some genetics, they flourished and became an empire in the system itself.
Initially relying on Hyperfusion reactors, it was discovered that even they could no longer supply the empire's growing energy need, and as such, the empire looked for ways to find a suitable source of energy. The physicists of the empire suggested that the nearby black hole, initially cataloged as Lafuentenaria X-15 as a possibly infinite source of power for many digits of years, and as such, they plan to make a giant Black Hole Power Generator the size of Jupiter to cover Lafuentenaria X-15, make it undergo super-radiant scattering and use its power to give energy to the empire, and thus satisfying their energy needs.
The name Terminus came about because at some point, the empire solved the Information Paradox, and decided that Lafuentenaria X-15 should also be the ultimate archive of everything under the Sun(Or under the universe, rather), and so they dumped all their information there, copies and all, and installed the most powerful AI in history to be its "curator". Initially named BIAS or Black Hole Infinite Akashic Searcher, it adopted the name of "Terminus" after being pulled to the singularity, and with all the information pixels surrounding it, gained singularity awareness, and decided that all things must end and return to the Singularity once more. It also considered itself as the Black Hole, rather than the AI inhabiting it at the singularity, stating that it wants to end all things and return them to the Singularity because it claims that "It is the nature of black holes".
Of course, many of the things in there contradict physics, and in real life, the Information Paradox isn't solved yet. but bear with me on this one. Also, don't ask me how the Theosophos Empire evaded all the accretion disk particles, jet particles and radiation in making the Black Hole Power Generator. I haven't fleshed it out yet.
Well anyway, here it is:
Credits to SVision for allowing me to use his data from his released addons to make Terminus possible, and for encouraging me to make Terminus better. You're truly the best at making Black Holes, and I am willing to learn more from you soon. Thank you for making this black hole addon possible!
Note: I removed the initial release version, and while I posted the current version in this topic, in order to not confuse would be downloaders, I'll reupload the current version here to replace the initial release version.
