Erolaeus

Erolaeus is a gas giant about three fourths the size of Jupiter. The planet appears purple due to high amounts of nitrogen in the upper atmosphere.
==Physical characteristics==
Erolaeus orbits outside the dust cloud that surrounds the Szon system. As a result, it captures many meteors and other interstellar objects. Enkladius catches most of what Erolaeus misses.
Erolaues has an unusual axial tilt of 135°. As a result, its ring system, while not vertical, is tilted in the complete opposite direction as the gas giant Heszton.
==Moons==
Erolaeus has numerous tiny moons, most of which are just tiny asteroids. Erolaeus was settled for its rich deposits of iridium as well as a readily available source of water-ice found in the moon Thaloss which will fall below Erolaeus' Roche limit within the next one million years. This gives it a landscape of erupting geysers quite similar to Ucharpli's moon Himmingarde.
==Colonization==
Erolaeus has many helium-3 mines orbitting the gas giant, while the main facilities were set up on Thaloss. The gas giant Heszton is often used for fueling the Szon system with helium-3 while Erolaeus is intended for exporting to other systems. As a result, Erolaeus is the largest producer of helium-3 in the Heart and Soul Nebula.
