How do you deal with Supernova material and weird homeworlds
How do you deal with some of the weirder system placements (like having people around Betelgeuse, a star that has probably already gone boom)?
One of the oddities was obviously Betelgeusans, which I kinda just treat as coming from a system close to what has become the Betelgeuse nebula/black hole.
Or I think it's already been discussed, but Rigel being likely to be Mu Virginis, which has the name Rijl al Mawwa and is only 60 light years from earth (even in the TOS federation it's out of immediate range for ships, and it's surprisingly close to Risa).
Within close enough range of the Fed core, there's a number of stars with the mass guesstimated to be leading to supernovas. Within 1.000 light years of earth, there's 11 known, with one (Betelgeuse) giving indications that it might be about to blow (from our perspective). Antares and the real Rigel are also on the list (Antares is guesstimated at "within a million years" and Rigel I'm not sure).
I know they're pretty canonical, and it might be more real life injected than some may want, but I was pondering it, although not quite for a trek campaign (just borrowing inspirations in design style and using ICON as its system).
