I’ve wanted to write this star system up forever.
The Light-girded Orrery
Description: A small, folded cube of metal, plastic, and other substances not immediately identifiable by a regular scan. When unfolded, it reveals an orrery (a physical representation of a solar system) of an unknown star system: the display is three-dimensional, and uses colored force fields, cunningly arranged, to represent the planetary objects and (yellow) star. When each planetary object in the Light-girded Orrery is touched, the touched object flashes to grey, and text in an unknown language (and, in many cases, stylized pictures of what appear to be sapient lifeforms) flashes on its surface.
