Caxirus
Caxirus is a large ice giant located quite far from its parent star of Ukots, thehome system of the Saelian Coalition.
However, it is unusual for its large axial tilt. It rotates on an axis parallel to its orbital path. This gives the palnet a reputation for being largely enigmatic and worthy of scientific investigation. Although Caxirus has 17 moons, the ice giant itself is extracted primarily for its hydrogen despite the world being primarily comprised of heavier atoms such as oxygen. Also the moons are often mined though the very low gravity of most of the moons can make mining difficult.
This was also one of the first worlds captured by the United Nations of Tebburus back during the suon-saelian war. This happened as a result of the saelian coalition leaving the planet mostly defenceless due to not being as useful as other worlds. Therefore, the Suons used the world as a refueling base for their starships, turning it more or less into a forward operating base. The moons were the most valuable objects to the Saelian Coalition though, so those were the best defended locations near the ice giant. Caxirus takes on a mostly blue appearance from orbit due to the large concentrations of nitrogen and oxygen. Caxirus also has a more powerful magnetic field than most worlds of its type.
