Crella System
VNY's notes:
Officially, this is the first stop on Cor Lane.
From Crella, you can get to Barnaba System on the Vorgarin Route, or you can continue on Cor Lane, or you can get to Vycinith System. Or you could stay with one of the many lovely hospitality specialists here.
Crella System is almost all gas giants. Not all of them are on the same orbital plane, either: be prepared to do the math for some rogue orbits.
Geography
The system primary is Anted, an A0 V White Main Sequence star.
Crella and its solitary moon are the innermost planet.
A banded gas giant named Ardania has the second orbit. Ardania has eighteen small moons and eight large moons, the latter of which all have some kind of hotel+casino or resort built into its surface. Each one has a different theme.
The third orbit in this system is Zebilia, a ringed giant. Forty small natural moons are embedded throughout the rings. At any given time there are a few different high-risk outfits trying to mine the moons, but it's a dangerous proposition what with the ring dust and the occasional solar storms to mess up all of your electronics.
The next two orbits are also taken by gas giants -- Prana is another banded gas giant, with twenty small moons and two large ones, orbiting as if Prana is still the outermost planet in the star system. Minaria Prime is a blue gas giant with eight large moons (named Minaria I through VIII) whose orbit is just off-kilter enough that either Minaria Prime got knocked off-course early in the formation of the system, or else Minaria was originally part of a different star system and got adopted during a close pass-through. I don't have the education to judge any of the scientific arguments but I side with the "adoption" theory anyway. Minaria does not look a thing like any of the definitely native planets, chromatographically speaking.
Ghazan, the moonless ice planet in the outermost orbit, everyone agrees to be a captured rogue exoplanet. Its orbit is not quite perpendicular to the plane of everything else, and it's much more elliptical than the rest. Someday Ghazan would probably smack into Minaria or Prana ... except that I am pretty sure Ghazan will have been completely dismantled by miners long before that can happen.
