For what it's worth, here's a visualisation of the distribution of systems containing Helium-rich Gas Giants.

Naturally, this only represents the information available in the data-source (EDDB).

As always: Check the other systems within that boxel and you're likely to find more:
skauduae ex-n c22-1
skauduae ex-n c22-2 (done)
skauduae ex-n c22-3
skauduae ex-n c22-4
etc.

well i was getting alittle bored out there to be honest - i got elite in exploration however - mission achieved .

At the bottom of www.edsm.net/en/statistics/bodies/planets there are 11 'Helium gas giants' listed all based in '52 Herculis' and all with 97,1% Helium.
Is this really a unique system with this unique planet type or is this an error from long ago?

I'm currently out and stumbled into a Helium Gas Giant system. Total of six Helium Giants in the binary system with three of them orbiting each other. It put a smile on my face as I've rarely come across these, let alone in groups that large.
Payouts for these are sad, but finding them still makes for smiles.

Are you sure you're talking about 'Helium gas giants' and not just 'Helium rich gas giants'?

Yep! Once I turn in (I have several other nearby systems I want the cash for also) I'll publish the location and post it here. It was a real surprise to me. Sp'loring is a passion, and yes, I'm quite positive of the find.

'Helium Gas Giant' is a type specified within the Journal documentation, but only reported in the one system you mentioned. We had CMDR Taen check the system and verify that data not too long ago.

If you've really found 'Helium Gas Giants' (and not regular 'Helium-rich Gas Giants'), that'd be really something. I'll get all excited when I see those screenshots ;)

Oh man, something else to add to the bucket list. I often don't bother to scan the gas giants, unless I feel like sticking around in the system for a while. So I have scanned exactly one "Helium-rich", and none of these "Helium gas giant" planets. This complicates things. Heh. :)

My sincerest apologies to the forum and community, I was mistaken in my claim above. Blame it on my bombast or just being sloppy (which it undoubtedly was) but these 6 are indeed Helium Rich Gas Giants and not Helium Giants. Again my apologies and I'll get back to trying not to bang my head on too many planets during this voyage.

Smooth seas all!

No worries, thanks for reporting your findings.
