SUMMARY
Inclined moon of a gas giant with an oxygen atmosphere
DESCRIPTION

Body 1 a in Graea Hypue AL-X d1-48 is an icy world that orbits a ringed class III gas giant. It has a semi major axis of just 1.1 LS, meaning that when landed on the surface the parent has an angular diameter of over 25° - and that's excluding the rings that can take up a much higher proportion of the sky.

The body has a thin oxygen atmosphere which produces some vibrant pink and purple skylines. It is also highly inclined at over 60° meaning the rings are a big feature of the sky. It orbits in 18h 49m and comes within a few thousand kilometers of the host rings.

It is also host to both Bacterium and Brain Tree biologicals, as well as having significant water geyser volcanism.
