Saggitor
Saggitor is the second and smallest of Aurora’s major moons. It is composed in near equal parts of silicate rock and water which makes up large sub-surface oceans with the potential to contain extraterrestrial life. These oceans drive geologic processes similar to plate tectonics, as well as contributing to the existence of Saggitor’s strong magnetic field.
Saggitor is one of two moons discovered by Svarizian astronomer Ivan Bakhtyamov, who named it after the Astrologican constellation Sagittarius, representing exploration and generosity. It is the most heavily studied natural satellite in the Helios system due to its sub-surface oceans and their potential for extraterrestrial life. A joint mission by the World Union to send a rover to Saggitor to explore these oceans has been proposed to launch in 2028.
