Houston... we've just discovered a planetary system....

This is Borentuu system.  So far, we have identified 3 moons which orbit the
ringed planet, where the second moon supports life.  The ringed planet
itself is surrounded by a powerful magnetic force, which allows for the
sustaining of ice rings, similar to those of Saturn, even while orbiting in
close proximity to its sun.  The surface of the giant is believed to be
water in liquid state while yet at smoldering temperatures of 400 degrees
Fahrenheit, and is believed that its liquid state is being maintained by
its intense atmospheric pressure.  The second moon sports a foresty
mountainous terrain, blanketed mostly by fog in the lower altitudes.  The
absence of specular effects does not represent an absence of water, as it
was noted thick vegetation in the lower altitudes completely cover and
horde the water for their own benefit, and yet substantial water does
evaporate and fill the air.  Floating cities were discovered, which
suggests the terrain and conditions are not friendly toward surface
urbanization.  The highest mountain altitudes appear to support the most
comfortable conditions for human-like life forms which created the floating
cities hovering at similar altitudes.  The network of cities suggests
knowledge of advanced engineering in their civilization.
