Borrum

Borrum is a hot hydrogen/helium gas giant, the second planet orbiting the Nèamhan star and the largest in the system. The planet is appropriately named for the violent winds generated from the intense heat differentials between the day and night sides of the tidally locked world. Probes have recorded wind speeds of up to 5,000 Km/h. This makes harvesting helium-3 fuel a dangerous prospect.
The planet resides at 0.36 AU from the star, too close for it to have formed there naturally. This leads scientists to believe that Borrum is a rogue planet captured by Nèamhan over 1 billion years ago.
Borrum has 18 known moons.
