Definitely using this as an adventure seed in Carta Galaxia. Rumors of an long dead alien city, on a planet that will soon be torn apart by a nearby star. Just getting to the planet will be hard enough, avoiding the shards of sundered planets, the gravity distortions and radiation storms. Then venturing into ancient, alien ruins (with all the dangers and horrors that might entail) while the planet tears itself apart, contending with hostile rival explorers, followed by the invariable 11th hour escape as the planet breaks apart.
