Gamma Delphini

 

Gamma Delphini is a planetary system orbiting a orange K-class star.  The system lies in the Delphinus Constellation of the Inner/Sol Region.

 
The Gamma Delphini system wide binary system consisting of an red giant and an A-class main sequence star.  A Jupiter sized gas giant orbits the red giant.  The planet's largest moon is home a small colony.

 

The moon is uncomfortably warm and dry across much of its surface, it lacks liquid water in all areas outside the polar regions..  The moon's environment forces the colonists to live in enclosed cities located at both poles, where the temperatures are cooler and a bit more earth-like.
