Baten Kaitos B

B is a large gas giant that contains over 1.5 times Jupiter's mass. The planet is composed of a mixture of hydrogen, helium, along with traces of neon. Baten Kaitos B2 is a water covered moon. The moon froze over early after cooling during the system's formation. As the sun grew into a red giant, the ice melted covering the moon in a global ocean. The moon lacks any land areas as it's entire surface is a deep ocean
