Gilly - Galileo88/JNSQ GitHub Wiki
Gilly is a lumpy rock wandering around the orbit of Eve. It was once and for a long time believed to be the smallest natural satellite that the Kerbal Astronomical Society ever discovered, but that changed when the concept of colonizing the asteroid field suddenly became very interesting to those who weren't afraid of it.
Gilly remains as easy as ever, if you discount its greater size and lessened Ore abundance versus its stock configuration. It is also no longer the smallest celestial in the entire system, falling to 🥉 3rd place behind 🥈 Dak and 🥇 Tam.
