System - Otitoh
Region - The Forge
Specific Location - Planet IV - Moon 1 - Lai Dai Corporation Factory

One of the closest High Sec systems, Otitoh, is a wonderful up close location to seeing Caroline's Star (Other than the Null Sec system of JZV-F4), but you can see Caroline's Star from all Empire and Null-Sec locations across New Eden.

W477-P was the location of a Red Giant that was contained in a Talocan Dyson Sphere, the Jovians later acquired this system when they moved into the UUA-F4 Region several thousand years ago. They utilized this system to power their near omnipresent being across New Eden, powering wormhole generators that could transit Jovian ships to and from any location in New Eden as they desired.

When the Drifter Invasion first began, they first targeted the remnants of the Third Jovian Empire and destroyed/destabilized the Dyson Sphere around W477-P, causing it to supernova. With the advanced technology present in the system, the supernova exploded at superluminal speeds, meaning the exploding light was ejected at FTL speeds and could be seen down in the Omist region nearly 100 Light Years away mere months after the initial explosion, rather than - well...100 years.

This event coincided with the destabilization of the cloaking devices concealing the Jovian Observation Posts, and marked a clear end to the Jovians within New Eden, their last contingent orders handing their seat at CONCORD over fully to the Society of Conscious Thought - their spiritual successors.

It's a marvel to witness and observe, and imagine what kind of wonderous technology existed that caused a star's dying light to be seen across the star cluster much faster than what normally would have happened in our current understanding of physics.
