• They orbit just beyond the stars Jump Shadow.

Mainworld Size (S)

• The surface of the world is composed of a crust of ice many kilometers thick.
• Much of the surface is cratered and covered in regolith and thick dust of meteoric origin, leaving only around 10% of the icy outer shell exposed.
• Below the outer icy shell is a world-ocean of liquid water.
