The Cassiterides
Formally known as the Cassiterides Overdensity, this enormous stellar stream spanning 10 kiloparsecs beyond the galactic plane across multiple disputed interstellar jurisdictions and conflict zones is believed to be a remnant of a former dwarf galaxy after collision with the Milky Way, and resides at similar galactocentric distance to other known entities such as the Virgo overdensity, the Hercules-Aquila cloud, the Eridanus-Phoenix structure and the Monocerous Ring, with which it may be kinematically associated. The metallicity dispersion and enriched chemical abundance of planetary worlds within Lindblad resonance of the Cassiterides provides a direct glimpse into the tidal forces of the oldest systems inhabiting the fossilised remnants of stellar structures formed by protogalaxies deep within the early universe.
