Planetary Rings

A planetary ring (or simply ring) was a circular band of small bodies orbiting around a planet in a flat disc-shaped region. Planetary rings could be formed from the remnants of satellites, such as the ring of the planet Onkara, which were created after one of its moons was ripped apart due to volcanic activity. The rings revolving around Lumaliv and Kirmiian were rocky in nature.

Although ring systems could constitute navigational hazards, some were mined for metal ore. The Hisperian Imperium was known for their extensive asteroid mining operations. The ring of the planet Beshan 2 was created when its neighboring planet Beshan 1 was destroyed and debris were cast towards Beshan 2.
