Rolara
A large gas giant in the Ukots System, of the Saelian Coalition.
Rolara has a large ring that features many asteroids.
Rolara's orbit is heavily elliptic. The apoapsis and periapsis of the orbit are at different radii. This results in the planet orbiting at different speed depending on radius.
Also, it has a large amount ( 73) of moons. Because they are all close to the star Ukots, many of these moons are lava worlds but there are also many barren worlds orbiting. These moons are being mined. Various mining corporations already exploited these before the Suon Common-Saelian war, so the planetary core is reachable. (the mining corporations dug down to the cores of each world to exploit the abundance of metal in the core)
Due to the short orbital radii, the gas giant itself is also hot. There is a lack of flammable material in the atmosphere as it burns up in the thick atmosphere. The gas giant has a solid core, so a very high temperature of 600 Celsius is observable on the surface. The atmosphere is comprised mainly of fluorine.
The gas giant is also known for having a heavily distorted axial tilt. While most worlds spin and orbit in the same direction, Rolara spins on an axis approximately perpendicular to its orbit. This observation is little understood, but it is theorized that a large asteroid collided with Roloara's atmosphere and knocked it out of its original orbit. This also explains the large, heavy solid core.
