Jool - Galileo88/JNSQ GitHub Wiki
By sheer size, Jool stands the tallest among the local planets, and it ties with Kerbin for the title of richest celestial body (by composition). Its primary color is inexplicably the same as the skin of a kerbal, and the variety among its moons is exceedingly wide and unparalleled to date, making Jool the chief source of inspiration to Kerbal-kind for interplanetary and eventually, interstellar colonization.
Jool is depicted as a Jupiter analog, but its mass is only 80 times that of Kerbin, making it actually smaller than Saturn in comparison.
