Notes (2019)

The orbit for Kirrixur at 1 radii of Kirur is inside the Roche Limit. Scouts (Book 6) has the minimum orbit for a close moon (not ring) as 3 radii.

It's ok for these rules to be broken. Astronomy has changed a lot since 1977 CE.

I just realized the 1 is the number of the moon, not the radius. Kirur should have a synchronous orbit of about 47,500 km or about 7.5 radii. It would make sense that Kirrixur would be tidally locked with Kirur as they are large worlds. I would suggest that this orbit would make sense.
