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.
Surface. No solid surface - thick gaseous envelope with possible rocky core deep within
Hydrogen and helium dominated with trace methane and ammonia

Inside the Roche limit (1.79 planet radii): torn apart into a ring system.
Merged with an adjacent moon: too close for both to hold a stable orbit.
