no US2 reference-sorry :(

[Note: The equatorial ridge and the crystal plains are of my original ideas; I opted for a moon with a large crater, and decided to build more on top of that.]

2nd moon from Vortís. Lies in beyond the orbit of Uttekesh.

Lore:

Shabol is one of Vortís' moons, and is the smallest. Despite that, it is much more popular than Uttekesh. Its orbit is also very chaotic, having a high inclination and slight eccentricity. The characteristics of this moon are off the charts. Most of the "phenomena" are unexplainable. This is because of two factors: the interaction with the Hyperants, and a collision of Vortís' third and forgotten moon, Barxuruc. Barxuruc was the smallest of the trio and had an orbit very similar to that of Shabol's. Over time, gravity brought them closer and closer until they both impacted. Due to Shabol's larger size, it survived the impact. There are also numerous craters around the main large crater. The central crater has been called the Qauleen Crater. Although most scientists are baffled by how the moon remained stable and did not crumble, this is the doing of the Hyperants. It is unknown as to what Shabol's use was for in the Hyperean past, though we can only speculate. The evidence is obvious, in the form of the large flat on Shabol's southern axis. These flats are composed of strange crystalline structures, exhibiting strange properties. They can float, are durable, and are extremely resilient to drastic temperatures. They are also able to conduct electricity really well. Extracting this material—called korelite—is very difficult due to it’s said properties. Special tools and procedures are required to get even just a small amount. It should be quite obvious that Hyperants extract and use this with ease.

Moving on, another considerable feature to take note of is the ridge that sits on the equator of the moon. It appears to be dotted with craters ranging in many sizes. This is because, in the distant past, Shabol was a large asteroid sitting within one of Arkkanna's rings. Over time, Shabol gained the ridge, along with the craters. This is the product of Shabol clearing its orbit, where it laid on the outskirts of the third ring. Eventually, Vortís got a hold of the moon and captured it. The gravity and tidal forces of the other Arkkannian moons caused Shabol to migrate to the inner Vortan System, which also led to the impact and destruction of Barxuruc.

Overall, this moon is such a twisted and warped beauty, from the Qauleen Crater to the Crystal Plains, it offers the best views from Vortís and Uttekesh, especially if you are after those close eclipses.
