Rare 5 star system discovered

[Chumbly]

BBC news article on a 5 star system... hmm i bet the HG Wells of that system had a much more interesting version of "War of the Worlds" .. When the aliens from the other world of star 1 system, invaded they got jumped on by the aliens of star2 system who in turned got jumped on by the aliens of star 3, who then triggerred the alliance with the aliens of star4 system and then got jumped on by the aliens of star5 system... whewwww
btw when are we going to see a full extended system generation book?

I designed a quinary star system as a Traveller setting back in CT days c1985 using LBB Book 6 Scouts. Set about 4000 years in the future humans had colonised the system after arriving in a generation/sleeper ship a couple of thousand years prior to the setting "present time". No FTL.

Still have all the data, even after thirty years.

i didn't see stellar type information. Contact binaries only have one habitable zone, the other binary have a 3 to 5 million km seperation, so the only habitable planets would orbit both each. The scale map seems to indicate that the stars are less massive than the Sun. Two of them maybe about to merge, this might be a good thing. As you know the plasma of stars don't convect, as a star ages it uses up the fuel in its core but retains still plenty in its outer layers. Guess what happens when two stars merge? the center of the new star created gets redefined, and its evolutionary clock gets reset!
