Redevelop unused systems into unexplored space.

[Ironwatsas]

Now, as some may be aware, there are a lot of systems in discovery that are barely or almost never used, who's purposes are obsolete or otherwise are slated for deletion. Some systems were designed for factions that no longer exist, while others are guard systems barely anyone uses, and have little RP value, or are hellaciously overbuilt for the faction they represent.

Instead of deleting them, and in the interests of expanding creative RP opportunities, I purpose that some of these systems be given a makeover. Made into unexplored or minimally inhabited virgin systems. Essentially, eye candy systems designed to look as awesome as possible (you will be graded on the same curves as you provided with Cayman and Omicron Iota). Each of these new systems should be somewhat concise with real astronomical phenomena, and with various goodies lying within.

Each one should have some sort of theme. I'd love to see a system with a Blue Hypergiant or a Canis Majoris the size of the New York system in it. As well as a system with a Coronado-esque gas giant with mineble asteroid rings. Or possibly some kind of creepy Homeworld-inspired starship graveyard with various goodies to loot (but littered with radiation, mines, and powerful gun turrets which shoot anything in sight).

The Systems should also have something to make them worth visiting, like rich untapped mineral deposits, codie wrecks, "raid boss" npcs (juiced up nomads, phantoms, eldritch abominations of some sort, etc) which drop awesome loot but take a full fleet to kill, mysterious bases, or other neat stuff to make them worth exploring and fighting over. Alternately, make the systems useful for smugglers or player-base development.

There aren't a lot of 'blank slate' systems in Discovery, and the ones that are are mostly single-asteroid-fields and boring. Someone should atleast stick a quasar in there, or some neat planetary system, or a crazy awesome mining ground. Just go nuts!
