Summary:

A spectacular gas giant with three landable shepherd moons, and a fourth with an eccentric orbit.

A Class II Gas Giant in a system that's at a sparse part of the inter-arm void in Kepler's Crest. This giant has three rings, three landable shepherd moons and a fourth landable moon on an eccentric orbit that provides some stunning views from the surface.

This is also a "green system", meaning it has all of the materials needed to synthesize FSD boosts.

The POI's name comes from Welsh mythology, where Gwydion is a hero with many exploits, including recalling his nephew Lleu from the underworld using song and returning him to human form. This system was discovered by the crew of the Blodeuwedd's Branch fleet carrier, on an expedition down the Outer Arm in 3306.
