...this star will arrive 70,000 years earlier than expected, according to Gaia data.
Note that Gliese 710 would disrupt any wormholes in that segment of the Oort cloud, as well as causing a cascade of comets in real life.
Hm. Although 70,000 years (60,000yrs by Y11k) is still a long time even by Terragen standards, it is within the range of the anticipated lifetime of Terragen civ and the archai. Given that we describe the use of various techs to move stars in the setting, it seems moderately probable that someone has taken it upon themselves to shift Gliese 710 into a more convenient path. Assuming they don't decide to just take it apart and remove the issue altogether. Or maybe they're still discussing it?
Thoughts?
