Planet Privas

Privas Planetary Cluster

A one-of-a-kind phenomenon found only in the Dauphine system, Privas is a set of four gas giants in perfect orbit around a smaller planetoid in the center. Common explanations for how the gas giants remain in orbit without merging together range from "dark energy" to "magic", but the most widely accepted scientific theory is one of a series of magnets inside the planets that both keeps the gas giants from merging and keeps them spinning around the central planetoid at equal distance. Expeditions down to the central planetoid have been unsuccessful so far, as the strong forces between the planets tear apart any ship attempting to slip in between them.
