Gahux

Gahux is a gas giant in the system Hylon. It is the orbital body around which the two life-bearing planets Fayis and Kas themselves orbit. Wracked by storms, the surface of Gahux is a brilliant array of swirling gases that has been the inspiration for countless works of art and literature across both species.

Other Moons
Beyond Fayis and Kas, Gahux supports fours other moons; Fotis, Ritis, Kovox and Ekli.

Fotis
Terraformed as one of the first projects of the newly formed Helix Alliance, Fotis, originally a barren moon, now contains large settlements of both Tassir and Ruunic citizens. A shining example of the Alliance's ability to innovate and expand, Fotis is also the home of the Helixic Fleet, which conduct their major operations from here.

Ritis
Inhospitable and highly volcanic, Ritis is on a descending orbit into Gahux, though luckily estimates of this descent claim it will pose no danger to the other moons. Because of its volatile and temporary nature, there has been no attempt to formally colonise it, though scientific and very occasional mining facilities dot its surface.

Kovox
Colder than Kas and significantly larger, Kovox has the widest orbit of the moons of Gahux, and was considered for a long time to be the "father" of Kas and the Ruun by the Ruunic religion, who saw its icy wastes as the crucible of their species.

Ekli
A tiny moon flitting quickly between the others along its short orbit around Gahux, Ekli was ignored for a long time until a private investor discovered extensive mineral deposits, and even some Dacium, on this small moon. Since then it has been all but mined out of its resources, giving a much needed source of raw materials for the Helixic fleet and for industries across the system. Indeed, some contemporary historians and economists say the discovery of Ekli as a deep well of materials accelerated the advancement of the Helix Alliance while keeping the homeworlds largely unmarred by industrial harvesting.
