Cassopeia

Cassopeia is a large moon of Acantha. It's twice as massive as the moon and contains a handful of metals, like iron and copper. The surface contains a lot of metallic dust in it. (Silicate dusts with metal particles mixed into it).
== About ==
Cassopeia can have a large impact in Acanthans' lives in the future. It's lunar dust contains large amounts of Helium-3, a great material to use in fusion power-plants.
Cassopeia has rather large mountains on it's surface, considering it's size. The highest mountains can reach heights up to 2700m. The moon's lunar dust and mountains both contain metals, like iron, and under the surface, even more useful things can be found, such as copper and lead. Cassopeia's molten core is small compared to the moon's size, so the temperatures don't increase so drastically during a mining operation.
== Formation ==
We know Earth's moon formed from a collision between Earth and a mars-sized object, called Theia. Cassopeia formed differently. It couldn't have formed from a collision because Acantha cooled down significantly quicker than Earth did. This leads to the conclusion that Acantha suffered no collisions with other objects in the system. Cassopeia most likely formed along with Acantha. The planet stole most of the solid parts from around it, but Cassopeia managed to catch some of them for itself.
