Also ok, but not a Trappist brewery...

Revolution Brewery in Chicago makes an excellent Belgian style ale called 'A Little Crazy'. It's becoming one of my favorites. I strongly recommend it.

It should make 7 different styles of beer, with 3 served warm.
Btw, this star appears to be very young. So the odds of there being indigenous intelligent life on any of its planets is correspondingly reduced.

I love this kind of thing.

As an aside, I want to be the first to propose calling one of the planets "Kessel".

That way, one day, a human may make the Kessel run in less than twelve parsecs.

As an aside, the next SW anthology film is supposedly Han Solo's backstory. People assume that it will feature the Kessel run. Which raises the question - how will they explain the 12 parsecs? Any guesses?

The expected distance from his start point was a lot more than twelve parsecs, due perhaps to an asteroid field, nebula, or some such.  But Han found a way through the obstacle, cutting the distance to 12 parsecs?

If it's determined that even the most basic vegetation life is on one of these fuckers, you will not hear from me for a while.

I dunno if anyone's ever screamed themselves into a coma before, but I'll give it a damn good try :|

Hmm not bad, if you can sell that as being a measure of the ship's quality rather than the pilot's...

I don't know what I'd do in that case. It might involve a coma.
