Saturn is a planetary gas giant and the second biggest planet in the Sol system. It is the sixth planet from Sol, after Jupiter.[1]
Saturn is considered one of the more visually appearing objects in the Sol system, due to the gas giant's bright, massive system of planetary rings. Saturn's natural satellites are not as explored as Jupiter's moons.[1] Its practical uses to the UNSC are limited, due to Saturn's distance from Sol and the lack of necessity to be colonized, and therefore it is mostly just a tourist destination.[2] A tourist station called Castellaneta is positioned in geosynchronous orbit on the "sunny side" of Saturn's outermost ring.[3]
