I'll be interested in Dr Ganymede's response to this. Since the canonical
Tavonni system has 4 gas giants, I originally thought it would be cool to
make Tavonni a moon of a Large GG ("Ryzel") - at least until someone (Alvin
Plummer?) pointed out the radiation problem if I wanted a "shirt-sleeves"
world. He suggested changing it to a Small GG instead.
