Entering orbit…
Star and planets drawn to scale (a typical star of its class), with only the star's edge in view. Orbits spaced as in the star system view.
Planet, moons and orbits drawn to one scale; the smallest moons are enlarged so they can be seen.

Inside the Roche limit (1.79 planet radii): torn apart into a ring system.
Small and distant: a quiet, stable companion.
Cold enough for nitrogen and methane to lie as frost on the surface (Triton-like).
