Also known locally as the Hansen’s World system

Primary Star: G0 V

Star 750-857 forms a somewhat unremarkable star system on the backwaters of the Serpent Main in the Diamond-Prince subsector of Ley. The mainworld, Hansen’s World, lies in the third orbit about the lone yellow, almost orange main sequence star. A small rocky furnace of a planet can be found in the first orbit around the star, while at the farthest edges of the system in far orbit, is a small barren planet thought to be a rogue that was caught by the gravitational pull of the nearby star.

Gas Giants: 3

Two large gas giants dominate the star system. The largest, Torment, circles its star’s 7th orbit and has 5 smaller satellites in orbit around itself. The smaller (by only a narrowest of margins) is the sister giant, Terror in the 8th planetary orbit. While smaller, Terror has attracted a total of 9 natural satellites within her own orbit. A much smaller gas giant known as Fear is found in the unusual position of the 4th orbit around the star. Fear has a dense set of rocky rings in orbit around her, but nothing that qualifies as a natural satellite.

Planetoid Belts: 1

A somewhat recent (in stellar terms) event, the planet that once occupied the 2nd orbit around the star was eventually drawn into a colliding orbit with the small gas giant Fear some 40,000 years ago. The remaining planetary debris has formed both a ring around the gas giant itself and a fairly dense planetoid belt in the 2nd orbit.
