Sol IX
#3
Quote:The object, which the researchers have nicknamed Planet Nine, has a mass about 10 times that of Earth and orbits about 20 times farther from the sun on average than does Neptune (which orbits the sun at an average distance of 2.8 billion miles). In fact, it would take this new planet between 10,000 and 20,000 years to make just one full orbit around the sun.
For comparison, Uranus has ~14.54 M⊕. The estimated orbital period is like taking Neptune's orbital period of ~165 standard years and boosting it two orders of magnitude higher.

The thing that immediately comes to mind for me on the way this might have an effect on the OAU is that Solsys wormholes around our new-and-updated Solsys would have to be placed further than pre-P9 Solsys wormholes. The Sothis Bridge and the Einstein Bridge wormholes will have to have a larger minimal safe distance from Sol (not that they were given any description in the first place).
