One more vacation day...(Trek Online Spoilers?)

...and then I go back to work tomorrow morning.

Meantime, I'm puzzling over a question of star system placement for Trekkish purposes. Specifically, Hobus.

Noticed in the process of mulling it over, this Memory Beta page. Players of that game are expected to believe that planets orbiting any given star could remain mostly intact (habitability issues notwithstanding) after their host star went supernova?

I expect the GAIA DR2 data might make this both easier and harder.
