There isn't much worth mentioning about the planet whose name translates to "Redstone". Aside from its thick atmosphere, lower gravity, and active geologic cycle (thanks to its gas giant parent) this is a promising terraforming target.
Instead I'll touch on the stars that make up this quadruple system. The primary is a M0V star with a semimajor axis of 117 AU. Due to its distance it casts only very faint shadows at night. The companions are on a 9000 year orbit around the primary and are themselves split up. Star BA is orbited by a binary system made of a red dwarf primary and a brown dwarf secondary. These two stars are close enough to brighten up the night.

Awesome and inspiring. I truly believe that free humanity will some day break out of its fog of lies and deception and conquer the stars.

Thank you! With space being as big as it is hopefully we can all just get along.

At the risk of sounding arrogant, I will say this: fear not. I have seen a vision of the future. There will be great suffering ahead, but evil will be stamped out on Earth first, and only afterwards will the remnant of sentient life rise to meet their destiny as colonizers of space. There is no need to hope, I know the engine of spatial expansion will be intelligence and righteousness. All the monkeys selling us on space exploration today will not make it. Our consciousness needs to expand and overcome them first. And it will, someday.
