Xylon

 

Xylon is a planetary system orbiting a yellow G-class star.  The system lies in the Aries Constellation of the Triangulum Region.

 
The Xylon System is home to a habitable moon orbiting a brown dwarf, which itself orbits a g-class star along the outer edge of the habitable zone.  The brown dwarf, which contains a little over 20 Jupiter masses, has been cooling since formation.

 

The largest moon/planet that orbits the brown dwarf contains about a third of Earth's mass.  The moon is covered in around 40% water, located mostly in small, salty oceans which are completely surrounded by land.  With the heat from the sun combined with additional heat from the brown dwarf, the moon is warm enough for liquid water.
