Ringkk

Ringkk is one of two moons that orbits the planet Raljikka, the other being Maurth. Between these two moons, Ringkk is both smaller and farther in orbital path from Raljikka. Myths tended to portray Ringkk as the child of the other moon or somehow fallen away from it, such as being a fragmented piece lost in the heavens. Astronomy and geology have since revealed that Ringkk was actually likely to have once been a moon of Sigzlor when the planets were still forming, but some sort of event -- such as an impact on Ringkk or Raljikka forming more quickly than Sigzlor -- allowed for the moon to fall into Raljikka's orbit instead. As a result, Ringkk's mineral composition matches Sigzlor's moons more closely than its "relative," Maurth.
As with Maurth, moon bases were established on Ringkk between the Second Galactic War and Third Galactic War in preparation for future war with the Veriol Alliance. Ringkk's smaller mass and more distant orbit from Raljikka, though, led to it being used less often than Maurth as a base of operations. Instead, Ringkk was used to mine for minerals in hopes of finding resources that were thought to be indigeneous to Sigzlor and its moons, as trade between Sigzlor was growing more and more fraught until it finally exploded into all-out war. To the disappointment of imperial governments, though, Ringkk did not contain the minerals they hoped to find, and the moon was mostly barren of anything that could be used in the war. At the conclusion of the Third Galactic War, Ringkk was easily abandoned, its mining equipment and derelict mineshafts left to waste away to the unforgiving winds of space.
