The Eluma System is an independent system in the central zone of the Ember galaxy, part of civilized space.
Its stable K-type star and secondary friendly M-type star have made it very easy for life to thrive here.
This system is mostly composed of hydrogen, helium, and methane, as well as oxygen on specific planets. This makes for a cocktail of dense atmospheres, high greenhouse gases, water, and life due to the stable low radiation of its main K-type main sequence star.
Eluma became popular among every non-single system galactic civilization in G-156.889.
Proudly owned by a highly advanced machine intelligence called TAU, it is among the most prominent solar systems, with tourist traffic competing directly with Terminus Hub (which is a lot, as most galactic traffic goes through Terminus Hub).
"Traktura", the asteroid-built station orbiting Aktura works as a hub for tourists to buy all kinds of products from third-party companies that TAU takes a cut from.
In the meantime, TAU is living and thriving down on the ARK planet Aktura with his many citizens. Visiting Aktura's surface is highly restricted, with only certain VIPs allowed on a highly scripted tour.
So why would anyone come to visit Eluma? Well, while Traktura works as a hub for companies to sell their products, the main attraction and reason for any tourists to arrive is "Akta", an artificially terraformed planet (terraforming having started in the year G-156.673 and ending in the year G-156.882) also referred to as a "Resort Planet". Possessing a mild climate with stable weather conditions, a breathable atmosphere, flora, and fauna that are not larger than the average insect. It is a world truly made for anyone looking to relax in a peaceful place.
The other planets and the already mentioned planets will be described in greater detail in singular art pieces. (I plan to 3D model all the planets, moons, and the gas giant, including informational text.)

Are orbits of Akta and Glant in the same ecliptic plane? If so, there must be a great danger to Akta when it passes through the ring of Glant.
But the nightsky must be so beautiful.
I started to play No man's sky a month ago. And when I stood on the surface of some moon looking to the local sun through the ring of local "Saturn" it was just stunning, even on my old display.

Oh, this is more of a visual display of their lineup, not the actual distance from one another. If you look down at the bottom of the image, you can see the Astronomical Units (distance) to the binary stars. Akta and Glant are VERY far apart, so far in fact that it widely surpasses the habitable zone. The distance of Glant to Akta is about 1AU less than Jupiter to Earth. So in a way due to Glant being closer but overall being more the size of Saturn but with a wider ring, it's generally the same in terms of visibility with a telescope from Akta.
What you explain is something that could be seen while standing on Virotis. This massive super-planet of a moon is entirely covered by kilometers-thick ice with a subterranean ocean. There is an ocean because being so close to Glant causes the core of Virotis to automatically be very active. I haven't written or displayed any of it yet, but Virotis is many hundreds of kilometers away from Glant's belt. You wouldn't really see Glant as some giant ball enveloping the whole sky but you can imagine it sort of like a 3 times larger moon in the sky that's blue and generally lights up the night surface of Virotis due to the reflective ice. On Virotis it's possible to see the many other moons and non-displayed proto-moons alongside Glant as well.
I plan of creating 3D renders of the planets along with some info, perhaps even some surface renders (how it'd look like when staring into the sky from the surface). I already did Juno as it was the easiest to start on due to being more moon-like with no difficult terrain, oceans, or atmosphere but I still gotta do some research for it to make sense and have it more enjoyable to look at.

Indeed. The problem I am having with planets like Akta and Aktura is that creating the landscape is difficult as actual trees (on Aktura there being only mushroom trees) and plants are on the surface. The issue being, that I don't want it to look like shit with random assets, not to mention that Aktura itself likely needs custom assets which I may or may not create... really depends on how much effort I want to put into a single landscape/sky shot of Aktura lol
I'm very much a perfectionist with these things, making me revise my lore multiple times before I am happy with it. The same goes for 3D renders. Something I create now, I might not like in 3 years' time when I've gotten better at it or acquired more knowledge.
So... as for Akta and especially Aktura, I may only create a sky shot when I get to it OOOOR I get my GF to draw in the appropriate trees and mushroom scenery past render, so it becomes sort of like a collab
