| III | Comminuted articular surface |
gollark: Minmus was good, since I could ship a big mass driver to it too.
gollark: Not very well, everything ends up floating around unstably.
gollark: Ah, yes, like that time I tried to put a shipyard on Gilly.
gollark: Maybe just have the main bit be Pluto/Charon with the other bodies added in some small way.
gollark: The bident thing might work to reflect the whole "binary system" thing.
