SUMMARY
A shepherd moon that is only 84 kilometers from its surface to its parent's rings.A shepherd moon that is only 84 kilometers from its surface to its parent's rings.
DESCRIPTION

The fifth body in the Droeth MA-A d83 system is a class I gas giant with five moons, the first of which is very close to the parent rings. The distance from the surface of the planet to the edge of the rings is only 84 kilometers.

The gas giant has rocky rings, which rarely make for some beautiful scenery. But here, they do, thanks to the celestial mechanics and the laws of gravity.

The moon has volcanism (Major Silicate Vapour Geysers) and gravity is only 0.09 g, so some Commanders have speculated that they might be able to reach the rings without their ship. However, no geysers have been found that would be strong enough to do that.
