Alternatively, the planet isn't a planet but a hollow construct, a Dyson sphere by mistake, or something else.
In 2147, Earth’s radio telescopes detect a repeating signal from the system of JUP 158—a gas giant 20 light-years away. Orbiting it is a moon, Luminara , shrouded in electromagnetic storms. United Earth’s Council launches MISSION THALIA to investigate. The Odyssey-7 crew is assembled, with conflicting motivations: scientists chase knowledge, while Earth’s authorities seek resources to sustain overpopulated colonies. juq 158 new
Need to flesh out the characters. A scientist protagonist, an engineer, a pilot, maybe a medical officer. Each with their own backstory or motivations. Alternatively, the planet isn't a planet but a
The crew uncovers a catastrophic error: JUP 158’s storm belts are not natural. They’re the shield of a dying civilization who terraformed Luminara and fled via a wormhole. The signals were a distress call, not a beacon. Extraction activities risk destabilizing the planet’s core, triggering a supernova-like implosion. A scientist protagonist, an engineer, a pilot, maybe
Ending: They decide to protect it, or Earth faces a crisis, forcing them to make a sacrifice.

Since it's new, maybe it's just discovered. The story could revolve around explorers or scientists discovering something unusual around the planet.
