Description
The Kreactath System is a developed trinary star system located within the United Systems' Federation. Noab - considered the system's primary - orbits around the system's central barycenter at 692 AU, and Kothet and Thendaic orbit their own barycenter at 192 AU and 110 AU respectively; the Kothet-Thendaic barycenter itself orbiting Noab at 407 AU. The system serves as a regional capital of the Federation. The moon Phaviel is the system's mainworld and capital and Aroviel is a mainworld secondary in importance.

The star Kothet is orbited by a particular gas giant called Thaect which is orbited by a single large satellite called Phaviel which is the homeworld of the I'brethan family; a group of three separate technological species. I'brethans naturally organized themselves either into political entities called holds when possible; fiercely independent city-states which cooperated and warred with one another for resources, and clans; extended families of wandering nomads that prefer the rugged calm of the desert.

Due to their harsh environment and lack of easily accessible resources, the technological development of I'brethan civilization was slow-going relative to most other civilized species. It was only until I'brethan civilization developed railroads and aviation, a globally-accessible information network, solar power, and aquafarming that their population exploded from around 100-200 million to five billion in a span of a century before leveling off in a historical period called the Great Expansion.

This great leap of material development was followed by advancements in quantum computing and holography, breaking down the distances across the moon. Accompanying these developments were breakthroughs in robotics and the development of advanced virtual intelligences. Before long, fleets of unsupervised delivery robots were crisscrossing the Phaviel's scorched deserts, interconnecting what were previously considered the most isolated rural communities, and even connecting the dune clans, people at one point comprised roughly 60 percent of Phaviel's population, then as the urban population expanded, that number was reduced to 25-30 percent of the overall population, to the outside world.

After this, technological and material advancement on Phaviel evened out, and I'brethan civilization found itself looking to the stars. Following the end of the Expansion, the major holds on Phaviel banded together in an international project to construct a space elevator above an equatorial sea. Although mining and industrial prospects in orbit of Kothet was limited, I'brethan scientists found themselves in an ideal position within its trinary star system when it came to space exploration; spacecraft launched from Phaviel could use Thaect to slingshot themselves toward other bodies in orbit of Kothet at high velocities, and even beyond into orbit of Thendaic or even remoter Noab.

The exploration of the greater Kreactath System was done primarily through the use of swarms of nano-spacecraft, propelled by laser batteries, as well as by automated, and then eventually crewed, nuclear-powered space vessels, kilometers in length, which would use conventional thrusters to slingshot themselves through Kothet's outer heliosphere using Thaect's high gravity (approximately 27 times that of Earth), collect fuel in passing, and gradually accelerate over the course of several years to high velocities.

In the I'brethan civilization's golden age of pre-FTL spaceflight, it generally took 5-10 years for a space vessel launched from Phaviel to reach the Thendaic planetary system, while a vessel would take a full 15-30 years to reach the Noab planetary system.

The planet Aroviel - deemed a prime candidate for extrasolar exploration by I'brethan scientists - developed an extensive ring of orbital platforms decades before worldformation even began. Aroviel, dude to technical limitations, would take three centuries for I'brethan civilization to terraform, with vessels late into the process importing the preserved genetic material of common lifeforms from Phaviel.

Roughly two centuries after the finalization of worldforming efforts, the United Systems' Federation would encounter the Kreactath System and make contact with I'brethan civilization; within years following this encounter, Phaviel and Aroviel would fully unify politically and join the Federation, developing curvature-drive capability shortly afterward based on fabrication templates acquired from the Federation.

I simply wanted to make this for the sake of reviewing the development of an alien civilization in orbit of a gas giant.
