| SUMMARY | ||
| → | The surface of moon 6 a is only 130 km away from the metal-rich ring of HRGG. It is a touching sight. | |
| DESCRIPTION | ||
| → | ||
| → | With a distance of just 628 km and a radius of only 498 km, the distance to the first chunks of the ring is 130 km. With the naked eye, the movement of the metal-rich ring of HRGG 6 can be observed.
In Greek mythology, "Kokytos" refers to one of the five rivers of the underworld. According to the Orphic tradition, it receives the souls of murderers. Since the ring is located in the zone of the landing approach, daredevil pilots can fly through it in supercruise.
Under special circumstances, the second HRGG of the trinary is also visible.
The special proximity of the ring allows commanders to become part of the ring's orbit directly after launch from moon 6 a, without changing to supercruise.
In honor of the POI: Ice Breaker - also located in Izanami - the nickname for Kokytos is "Metal-Rich Breaker"
