Its name is inspired by Uranus' largest moon Titania and Taurus from stock Juno System.

@AK5Z Because cold planet far away from its star tend to have more moons than those that are warmer and closer, based on what I saw in Space Engine, I have even found some large Icy terrestrial planets with up to 9 relatively large icy moons orbiting them.
Also, I love flying aircraft in Titan-like environment (low gravity / thick atmosphere combination) and these type of planet/moons can't really exist in warmer region closer to its star.

@Aviametal Nice, but I would not always refer to Space Engine for validity. Yes, it is cool and seems legit, but sometimes, the science may be wrong and can be misleading. I am not saying it is, I am just saying certain parts are wrong, such as habitable planets somehow having 36.6 atm+
