SUMMARY
→	Two class III gas giants collide in this system approximately every 29 days. So named because it is more regular than the other colliding gas giants, Rhubarb and Custard.
DESCRIPTION
→	Planets 2 (Prunes) and 3 (Magnesia) have orbits that put them on a collision course every 29 days. Unlike the very similar gas giants, Rhubarb and Custard, the orbits of these bodies are virtually identical in every respect apart from the orbital period. This means that every collision is a full 100% overlap lasting 1 hour, 8 minutes and 8 seconds making them exceptionally regular. The collision was first witnessed on the 14th June 3308 confirming that the orbital calculations made by Canonn Research and Elite Observatory were exact down to the second.
