Geography

A large Jovian planet surrounded by countless moons; the planet was once used by the Precursors for Hydrogen harvesting.
Although this planet is much bigger than Nijin-Kaj, it is nonetheless not exploited by Humanity due to the longer revolution time around the star, which would limit harvesting times to a few brief windows once every 250-300 years, not offsetting the travelling costs.
Of all Precursor stations, the one orbiting Nijin-Keth is by far the largest (excluding the Wormhole station near Nijin-Yithih) in the system; measuring about 3.000 km in diameter, the disc-like station is not too dissimilar from Piléar Sinsear off the east coast of Gleann Bláthanna, although bigger. Like many other Precursor technologies, this station is apparentely powered by a large Exomatter nucleus.
Orbiting around the planet there are several planet-sized moons, only a few of which ever observed, even briefly, by Humanity.
