Ophion is a large gas giant orbiting the star Helios Gamma in the Cyrannus Star System. A frigid gas giant in an inclined orbit, Ophion is 51,000 km in diameter, slightly larger than Hestia. In addition to its three groups of rings, Ophion has 14 moons, all smaller than 10 km in diameter.
Isotope studies have shown that Ragnar was originally a member of the Helios Gamma system while Ophion was not. Ophion was likely a rogue planet that passed close to Ragnar, and their gravitational interaction caused Ophion to become captured by Helios Gamma while Ragnar was moved into its current orbit around the Helios Gamma and Delta.
Behind the scenes[]
- Ophion lends its name to Ophion from Greek mythology.
