There is a lot of things on a screen I am not familiar with.
What part are you asking about?

Probably the crystal nidus glitch that's been seen by just about everyone at this point. It's not really supposed to happen, but the devs left it in to see what else people could catch.

Anyway, here's a few screenshots from the start of my latest playthrough:

Never seen a megastructure one system away on day one before. I guess we'll never have to wonder whether we're alone in the galaxy...

The marauders: "Do not try to impose your soft and effete ways on us."
Also the marauders: are literal peacocks. (I'm still hoping for peacock khan)

For the next one, the neighboring fallen empire finally gave me open borders, so I thought I would check their black hole system to see if it had an L-gate:

That is not an L-gate!

I guess the good news is that entering the system made it hostile with the fallen empire, so that's one more system I can claim... eventually.

Our colonists: 'Look at this 100% habitable desert world with a science modifier, it might as well be a paradise!'
Our scientists: 'Look at this terrible, harsh desert world. Clearly, we should leave as soon as possible.'

It is a gate to the "Long giant monster" Dimension.
So, close.
 
WOI or bug....?

Fun fact: if the big guy is the only fauna in your Viva, you are treated as if you have no fauna.

The big guy is probably bugged (or just not handled) because optimal player behavior was to kill it for the hull plating tech.
