The Alnath star system is located approximately 142 lightyears from Earth. The star is a B7III giant sending off a hot blue-white color light. There are no M Class planets in the system, it consists of 3 planets, all of them gas giants of various types. The largest of which is Alnath II - which is about the size of Jupiter in the Sol System.
Planets
Alnath prime is made up of primarily helium, methane, hexane, oxygen, and argon. Trace amounts of hydrogen, neon, and ammonia. It has 7 small satellites ranging from half the sizze of Earth's moon to about three times that. There is an automated gas processing station in low orbit which sends out automated drones which collect gas at regular intervals. The Saffron Consortium owns the station and makes pickups at the station to carry the large cargo containers of compressed liquid gasses about once a month.
Alnath II is primarily made up of hydrogen, helium, and argon. It has 23 small asteroid sized moons and 2 larger moons about twice the size of the largest of Alnath I's moons. It is the largest of the three planets. There was once a small supply base on the largest of its moons named Magnar (mag-n-ARE), the moon became unstable as its orbit shifted naturally closer to the planet. Tidal forces cause its crust to be in a constant state of movement and keeps the core molten. The station has been abandoned for about 30 years.
Alnath III is the smallest of the three planets, it probably has a small rockey core made up of iron forming a very strong magnetic field. The atmosphere is made up mostly of argon, ammonia, and oxygen in its outer layers but a thin layer of exotic ice forms about a mile from the core. It has only 1 moon, a very large body made up of iron, nickle, and chrome. The incredible magnetic fields produced as the moon passes through field lines of the planet wreak havoc with technology, the Saffron Consortium have deemed the moon and its planet to be not cost effective for mining. A monitoring station exists on the moon which transmits regular bursts of data back for the Consortium.
