Summary:

Ten landable Thin Water Atmosphere moons, all around the same gas giant, the current record holder as of 3308/12/18.

 
Description:

Wepe KT-Q e5-2274 was first discovered near the end of 3306, and it went unremarked by its discoverer at the time: just another neutron star system, with a number of gas giants and moons. Its significance was only realised later, while going through exploration data and cataloguing Thin Water Atmosphere planets: as of 3308/12/14, this system is the record holder for the largest amount of landable Thin Water Atmosphere bodies in one system, as well as the most around one body.

The fourth gas giant is orbited by 11 moons, all of which have a thin water atmosphere, and 10 of which are landable. Only the farthest moon isn't, and that's because it has a surface pressure of 0.11 atm.

All of them are rocky moons of the class III gas giant, and they have the following species present:

  • Bacterium Tela / Cerbrus (1,949,000 Cr / 1,689,800 Cr)
  • Cactoida Vermis (16,202,800 Cr)
  • Clypeus Speculumi (16,202,800 Cr)
  • Concha Renibus (4,572,400 Cr)
  • Frutexa Sponsae (5,988,000 Cr)
  • Fungoida Gelata (3,330,300 Cr)
  • Osseus Discus (12,934,900 Cr)
  • Tussock Virgam (14,313,700 Cr)

Note that Osseus Discus is only present on the inner moons, from 4 a to 4 e. It seems that the outer moons didn't have enough tectonic activity to house these. However, even on some of these moons, they are confined to tiny areas.

The innermost moon is somewhat close to the parent gas giant, so it can provide some nice views. A blue planet in a blue sky.

Two of the moons, 4 h and 4 i, also orbit each other, forming a binary pair. They are close enough that the blue atmosphere of their paired moon is visible from their surfaces.

Also, note that the galactic centre is quite close by, and exobiologists need only travel around 2,300 ly to sell their samples for their full price at Explorer's Anchorage.

A note to visitors: I've left many of the species here unsampled, so there should be plenty of first logging bonuses to be had still. That includes valuables as well, not just the Frutexa and such. Well, until others will come along and grab the rest.
