"I don't know what it is but something about that black hole creeps me out. It's just...the eerie darkness inside it, and this feeling like its watching, it unnerves me greatly. Even being a lightyear away from that thing wouldn't help" -Dr. Ryan Pearson
Black Pearl is a black hole, 139 lightyears from Sol, that is known to for causing paranoia to those that go near it.
System
The Black Pearl system contains six dwarf planets orbiting the black hole. Each of these worlds are dark and barren with thin atmospheres. Black Pearl itself is nine solar masses in size and has a diameter of 58.32 km.
Discovery
Black Pearl was first discovered by a long range FTL probe in 2325 and a maximum security prison was built on its closest planetoid in 2327 due to how obscure the system is.
Anomaly
For some reason, whenever someone goes near the black hole, a strange paranoia starts overwhelm them. This first happened to Dr Ryan Pearson when viewing Black Pearl from a window in a research vessel. He described it as being an "unnatural paranoia" and that the darkness inside Black Pearl "unnerves" him. This isn't an isolated incident either, more personnel aboard the ship experienced the same feeling when looking at the black hole. There is even a rumour about a lone explorer who went insane from flying too close to Black Pearl although this is most likely untrue. Whatever the case, this system is off limits to the public and only people with authorised access may enter.
