SUMMARY
A ringed white dwarf star in a binary orbit with an M class red dwarf star, with multiple bodies nearby for sightseeing.A ringed white dwarf star in a binary orbit with an M class red dwarf star, with multiple bodies nearby for sightseeing.
DESCRIPTION

This system, located at the Northern end of Odin's Hold, has a ringed white dwarf star in a binary orbit with an M class red dwarf star. Both are in orbit of a black hole that is the primary star of the system. There are eleven bodies orbiting them, making for some excellent views.

The black hole itself is unremarkable, what is of interest here is the ringed white dwarf that orbits it. The star's rings are lit by its binary partner, which is an M class red dwarf star. There are multiple bodies orbiting it, most of them being rocky bodies with thick atmospheres, with one exception: a gas giant (1 f) with a moon, that's in a close and inclined orbit around the star.

The gas giant is a pale white Sudarsky Class II gas giant. It completes an orbit around its parent in 3.3 days. It has just one moon, which orbits the gas giant closely.

This nested moon (1 f a) is the only landable body in the system. There are only a few other known examples of a gas giant's moon orbiting this close to a ringed white dwarf's rings. The moon also has surface volcanism, so explorers can enjoy even better views around the lava spouts and vents.

This nested moon (1 f a) is the only landable body in the system. There are only a few other known examples of a gas giant's moon orbiting this close to a ringed white dwarf's rings. Thankfully, the moon's orbit is inclined to the star's rings, so they are usually well visible.
The moon also has surface volcanism, so explorers can enjoy even better views around the lava spouts and vents.
