5 hex gravity well around the black hole

Additional Information

Portcia Black Hole:  The gravity anomaly in the Portcia system causes an immense gravity well 6 space hexes in all directions from O15.  Space hexes 6 hexes away form the black hole have a gravity pull of 1G, 5 away is 2G, 4 away is 3G, etc.  Note that this pull is an approximation only.  If gravity rating of ship is less than the pull, the ship is sucked in.

Portcia Blackhole Gravity Fluctuation:  At the start of week 5/183, the Portcia blackhole underwent a massive gravity fluctuation.  All of the dust clouds in the entire system were drawn into the blackhole.  Only by using their engines were most of the ships closer to the center of the system able to prevent themselves from being pulled into the void.  The lone planet in the system, Daloe, was pulled one space hex closer to the blackhole and only the planet's angular velocity kept it form being drawn in.  The planet underwent a series of minor quakes during the flux but only minor damage was done to the planet and those located there.

Portcia Blackhole fluctuation #2:  At the start of week 20/194, the Portcia blackhole underwent a 2nd massive gravity fluctuation.  The planet Daloe was sucked into the blackhole and it is feared that the planet broke up and all colonies on the planet were either badly damaged or totally destroyed.  All ships landed at colony spaceports were able to lift off and steer clear of the blackhole fluctuation.  As of this moment, there is no planet currently in the Portcia system.

This system is an entrance to the Transhole region via the blackhole.  The systems Porkette, Porkus, Porkian, Porkamo, and Porkette can be directly accessed from this system through the black hole.  The blackhole causes all pulac to explode, causing damage to ships who have items with pulac in them.
