Magnetic Field Extreme Activity
Why is this a Ice Giant? Your planet has moderate mass (35.0x Earth) with significant water, carbon, and nitrogen content, characteristic of ice giants. Ice giants like Uranus and Neptune have icy interiors with thick atmospheres of hydrogen and helium, but not enough to be classified as gas giants.

Contributing Factors water 15
No solid surface — any water is locked in a supercritical mantle and hot ice, not oceans geology 40
Extreme volcanic activity may be hazardous rotation 65
Slow rotation - significant day/night temperature variations, but life can adapt Organic Chemistry 84
Core organic elements (CHNO) present (tidal pools cycle wet and dry - a boost for prebiotic chemistry) atmosphere 30
Hydrogen-rich atmosphere typical of gas giants temperature 20
Very cold - water frozen, challenging for life (extreme seasons: at 86° the poles swing between months-long day and night: −23% habitability) magnetic Field 100

Moon 1 stable Nitrogen ices lost: water ice 0.032% - 15.3 radii
Small and distant: a quiet, stable companion.
Too warm for nitrogen and methane frost and too small to hold them as an atmosphere: those ices escaped to space, leaving water ice.
Moon 2 stable Sulfur-rich 0.025% - 21.3 radii
Small and distant: a quiet, stable companion.
