Gal
A large gas giant approximately 122,000 km in diameter and 206 times as massive as Earth, Gal is the third planet from Gerrus, completing an orbit roughly every 393 days. It is believed to be a rogue planet, entering the system soon after planets began to form. As a result, many planetoids were swept into its orbit, either falling into Gal, getting ejected, or colliding to form larger moons. Eventually, the debris surrounding Gal formed four large moons in a stable 1:2:4:8 Laplace resonance; the rest consisted of asteroids in unstable orbits that usually wound up colliding with Gal or one of its moons or being ejected.

Gal is whitish in color, owing to water vapor clouds in its upper atmosphere. Its orbital incline or roughly 24 degrees, combined with a speedy 12 hour rotation, result in magnificent bands across Gal, along with intense storms. The lightning from such storms can easily be seen from many of Gal's moons. Gal itself reflects a large percentage of sunlight, influencing the evolution of life on Xer.
