A moon of Indaelaqat.
A peculiar icy moon. It's pretty big, only smaller than droo by 200km. It's an old, cratered icy celestial object with nothing much going for it. Except.. despite being a moon, it has rings of it's own. While extremely thin, they are still visible and an equatorial ridge implies that they were once thicker and denser.

(inspired by Saturn's forgotten clone moons: Tethys, Dione, and Rhea)

    @HighNeurosurgeon Yeah, it's the moon Daphnis in the Keeler gap tugging waves into the A ring.

    @Kaeya I've also noticed, is your pfp a pic of Saturn's rings?

    @Zenithspeed Basically all of Saturn’s inner irregular moons have cool gimmicks: There are the hundreds of tiny, chaotic, periodic inner moonlets like Bleriot and Peggy/Peggy B. The giant ring material ridges on Pan, Daphnis and Atlas, (plus Daphnis’ cool interaction with the Keeler gap). Then the incredibly elongated Prometheus and its interaction with the F ring. Pandora and it’s chaotic orbit that brings it very close to Prometheus every 6.2 earth years. Then Janus and Epimetheus with their switching orbits. Tiny Aegaeon with its stupidly elongated and super smooth shape. Then the three Alkyonides with their smooth egg-like shapes. Then there’s the only four known trojan moons in the solar system: Telesto and Calypso at Tethys’ L4 and L5 points respectively, then Helene and Polydeuces at Dione’s L4 and L5. Hyperion with its enormous size, bizarre appearance, and chaotic rotation. Then finally Phoebe with its high mass and once spherical shape.


    Plus as an honourable mention the several outer irregular moons that are contact binary or binary moon candidates.

    @Kaeya 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
    not voluntarily but i guess
    i'm kinda just neutral towards most of them tbh, if more of them had cool gimmicks i'd definitely go out of neutral and into appreciation lol

    @Zenithspeed I didn't know you were a filthy hydrostatic equilibrium supremacist

    @Kaeya honestly the asteroid moons of the gas giants are just super forgettable
    Pan is basically the only one that i (reliably) know of, the rest are kinda just the same looking

    @Zenithspeed what about the even more forgotten moons, Like Daphnis in my pfp, or the Tethys and Dione Trojans

    @Zenithspeed my thoughts exactly dude, my jaw dropped when I heard that Rhea had rings. A moon has rings but we care more about Iapetus because " ooh funny rock color ". Shame on this character development!

    "Saturn's forgotten clone moons" lmao real

    like seriously, Enceladus and Titan get all the fame, with Iapetus sharing a little because of the two-color thing, but the rest (Mimas, Tethys, Dione, Rhea) are just ignored because they're quite similar to eachother and look like generic gray moons (especially with Rhea basically just being "Big Dione"... the world's creators got lazy on the worldbuilding 😪 /j)
