SUMMARY
→	One moon orbits 1,457lm from the ring. The other, a ringed, landable moon with atmosphere and life, overlooks the parent.
DESCRIPTION
→	Gaulkhan's Reach is the first shepherd moon of Fedguia UT-Z c-16-10 3. It is so close that at 1,447km from the ring, you can watch the ring pass by. The moon is riven with high-wall canyons and double canyons.Geysers add to the atmosphere, with opportunities for SRV exploration of the nearby rings. Those rings contain 3 tritium hotspots, with one double tritium/grandidierite overlap. A third ring is so light it cannot be detected, but makes the first three moons shepherd moons. The fourth moon is a landable, atmospheric world with rings and life. The high inclination allows it to overlook the parent. ![The view from the fourth moon](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52455560150_b7acabbc78_k.jpg) This world was discovered on the Fatherhood's Lost in Space expedition of 3308. The world is named after the expedition trip leader who suffered at the hands of a hurricane just a day before the expedition was due to start, yet managed to rejoin the expedition a week later.
