Description:

The sixth body in this system, Groa Eaeb KT-O d7-4 6, is a gas giant with a rare configuration of moons. First off, it has two shepherd moons, 6 a and 6 b, which orbit inside the icy ring - which is also an impressive 27 ls wide. The third moon, 6 c, is actually also a gas giant (class I), on a highly inclined orbit - and not just with rings of its own, but with three nested moons as well.

View from the surface of 6 c a

Both the shepherd moons and the three nested moons are landable. Their uncommon orbits and the impressive size of the parent gas giant's rings combine to offer some excellent views.

Body 6 c revealed high levels of tritium in it's ring's hotspots. After just a short time of mining average collection was over 100 ton/hour using mining lasers, abrasion blasters and sub-surface missiles.
