Pol

Description

The scientists who get to name some of these moons are the most curious kind. Pol earns its name from one who takes botany very seriously. Perhaps Pol's composition will similarly lend itself very well to off-world agriculture.

Trivia

Pol is Jool's farthest and smallest moon, but it comes in second to Bop for having the strangest orbit.
