Allegiance:Communion of Worlds

Warm Jovian, named during the Information age. It was wrongly named as it turned out, as the moons of this world are all too warm for easy terraformation. However three of Goldilock's moons have been artificially cooled using orbital loop refrigeration technology and today hold considerable populations.
