Q&A

Creating a gas-giant based empire, how can I maximize the amount of Earth-sized habitable worlds around a gas giant?

+0
−0

As the title says. I need to have at least 3-5 habitable Earth-gravity worlds (preferably with atmosphere, nitrogen oxygen) as many smaller, lifeless moons as possible, and a planetary ring. (i.e. Saturn)

Now, when I say 'habitable' I just mean a bear minimum of being able to go outside and not melt or set on fire or get irradiated to death on 3-5 of the words orbiting this gas giant, and having roughly Earth-like gravity. The moons not being tidally locked would be great too, or at least having one or two that aren't.

Giant storms, volcanoes, meteorite strikes, etc. are fine, and actually pretty cool!

Now, as you can probably imagine I'm not very knowledgeable about how astrophysics works, so I fully expect a lot of what I'm hoping for to be downright impossible. But any scientific solutions are greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
