No life — too cold for liquid water Magnetic Field Extreme Activity
Why is this a Gas Giant? Your planet has 62.6% hydrogen and helium, combined with a mass of 21.0x Earth, which exceeds the gas giant threshold. Gas giants form when massive cores capture enormous atmospheres of light gases. They typically form beyond the 'frost line' where volatiles can condense.

Surface Characteristics No solid surface - thick gaseous envelope with possible rocky core deep within Moons
Moon 1 rings 0.0050% - 1.9 radii
Inside the synchronous orbit: it spiraled inward and was torn apart at the Roche limit (Phobos's fate).
Moon 2 stable Volcanic 0.010% - 5.1 radii
Small and distant: a quiet, stable companion.
Tidal braking locked the planet to its moon: one face forever moonward.
Tidal flexing melts its interior: an actively volcanic surface (Io-like).
Moon 3 stable Nitrogen & methane ice 0.010% - 3.8 radii
Small and distant: a quiet, stable companion.
Cold enough for nitrogen and methane to lie as frost on the surface (Triton-like).
Moon 4 stable Sulfur-rich 0.00050% - 8.2 radii
Small and distant: a quiet, stable companion.
