Horus III is a super-Jupiter on the Horus system, United Empire of Earth (UEE), and is the most distant planet from its sun. More massive than most other gas giants, it has a high-density atmosphere that compresses the planet, lowering its overall circumference in comparison to low-mass gas giants. Many rest stops and refueling stations orbit Horus III in support of travelers and traders that pass through Horus between the UEE and the Xi'an Empire.
