Gas giant with 7,800,000KM Ring B, 3 shepherd moons in between Ring A and Ring B

[Russet Meles]

I found theoretically interesting gas giant. It has 2 rings and 3 shepherd moons in between. The Ring B is massive, it's about 19.5Ls. Unfortunately, this ring exist only on details panel and orrery map.

Whether a ring is visible or not depends on the density of the ring, this has been fairly closely determined and tested.

There's a thread here with a lot of info;

Inner Moons List

In our universe so called shepherd moons -- moons with orbits inside planetary rings, that limit the "herd" of the ring particles with their gravity -- are not something very unusual. In fact, all four gas giants in our system have both rings and moons inside them. Recently we've got some...
