Herana

A very large ice giant of the Aurigae System, very far from the local star.

The ice giant takes up a mainly purple colour, though it can vary as patches of green gas exist in the atmosphere, floating around. It is thus apparent that the atmosphere of Herana is not as consistent of that of other gas giants. It has been a key subject of scientific speculation for years but it was eventually determined that the green gas is weakly attracted to itself, because it contains slightly magnetic particles, but there is a limit to the scale of a single cloud. This information has proven useful to the Phelke as well, as they could extract it for magnetic materials and then refine them. Because of this, there are many gas giant collection stations in orbit around Herana, constantly collecting gas from the gas giant. Some types of heavier gases can be found on the ice giant as well, though this is common with gas giants in general. These materials include nitrogen and oxygen gas as well as several other elements near those in mass. 

Herana also features a large asteroid ring around its equator. These asteroids are also exploited by the phelke and have a large number of asteroid mines established on and within them. So far, mostly common metals have been found.
