OVERVIEW
Saturn is 9.54 AU from the sun, with a sidereal revolution of 29.5 years and a rotation period ("day") of 10.2 hours. It has a vast ring system tilted 29 degrees to the planet's orbit and appears flattened probably due to its fast rotation and its gaseous composition. It is named Saturn for the father of the gods in Greek and Roman mythology.
HISTORY
Millennia ago, the seemingly uninhabitable world of Saturn was colonized by Martians. While they could not settle down on the planet's gaseous surface, the Martians created artificial environments the size of the planet Mercury protected inside bubbles within the swirling atmosphere of the gas giant they called H'ronmeerca'andra. Each satellite's environment mimicked a different aspect of Mars (or Ma'aleca'andra) and functioned as a center for manufacturing or mining and refining of Saturnian hydrogen. The world was vital to Martian interests, and a defensive ring of fortresses was put in orbit.
As labour, the Green and White Martians created genetically altered clones of themselves, who became the Red and White Saturnians. The race was decimated in the Martian Civil War, the remaining debris of which now forms the rings of Saturn. However, a handful of Saturnians, both red and white, have survived to this day. Prince Jemm of the Red Saturnians is one of them.
The hatred between the Reds and the Whites lasted generations after the Martian Civil War. It culminated in a battle between reds and whites that almost destryoed both sides.
