Poseidon

Given the amount of material in the debris disk in this system, it is conjectured that Poseidon formed very closely to where it orbits today, around Tau Ceti. Hence, it and perhaps Hephaestus are the only two worlds in this system unaffected by whatever gravitational disruptions this system was afflicted with eons ago. This world acts as a "gravitational shepherd" to the Debris Disk. Its interactions with the Debris Disk has left Poseidon with very few moons.
