Jovian Class

Jovian Class

Mass range from 0.2 to 13 Jupiters. These are the gas giants. Varied in form and size, these are among the most beautiful planets, because of their preponderance towards multiple moons, ring systems, and widely varied color schemes.

These Epistellars exist within the tidal lock zone of the parent star. High temperatures cause the closest worlds to glow a dull orange, while farther worlds possess, typically, a uniform blue color with a bright heat spot at the sub-astral pole, and a thick concentration of clouds at the anti-astral pole (presuming that these worlds would indeed be tidally locked ).
