[Life Day Celebration II] Part 2: Patterns In The Sky

Since before space travel, all species have looked to the sky and created constellations by connecting the stars. Some Constellations have been used to navigate their planet. Others have deep religious connotations. Still, others are just the whimsy of the people who live on the planet. Your task is to create a constellation using a creature from the possessions system and describe its significance in the sky.

Entries must also include a minimum of 200 words describing the Constellation. This must include what planet it is from, what creature from the possessions system it represents, and what significance it has to the native species.

Celestial item: The Greater Krayt Dragon constellation
Planet: Tatooine
Planetary location: Southern Hemisphere
Galactic sector: Arkanis

The largest of the constellations in the southern hemisphere of the desert planet Tatooine. The Greater Krayt Dragon is very recognisable. It is visible year round in one form or another, with the entire constellation showing throughout the entire Summer season.

The primary “star” in the nose of the dragon is actually the planet Geonosis. It points magnetic South. Being circumpolar, it is always visible . The star at the base of the tail is the planet Siskeen and the one at the tip of the tail is Ryloth. They will dip below the horizon during the course of the year as the planet orbits its suns.

When the constellation was designed by astronomers to honor this monster, the Greater Krayt Dragon was the apex predator of the planet, destroying and eating whatever it felt like. Sadly, any planet can only support a few giant hunters and these animals took to hunting each other.

Although basically now extinct with supposedly only 15 known to live on the planet worldwide. The dragon is now remembered by all in the southern hemisphere whenever they look at the night sky.
