Candlelight

 

Candlelight is a planetary system orbiting a yellow G-class star.  The system lies in the Cetus Constellation of the Cetus Region.

 
Candlelight is a system containing a large gas giant planet.  The planet is orbited by a group of 17 moons, the largest has been settled by a small population.  The moon has been established as a base for anti-matter mining operations on the gas giant.

 

The moon and planet sit at a distance that gives them Mars-like temperatures.  Numerous terraforming projects have been proposed for the moon, though it's small mass and gravity make any terraforming attempts difficult.
