A magenta colored Jovian style Gas Giant (LGG) 4 Jovian masses large orbiting at about 45 AUs (9 times Jupiter's orbit) has been photographed using the Hawaii's Subaru Telescope. The Star Gleise 504 is 57light years away

"The pink planet orbits its star at nearly nine times the distance Jupiter orbits the sun to challenge theoretical ideas of how giant planets form"

Goes to show ya that you can and should get creative with the systems you build for your players...

It's a girly planet.

But it's only 1.5 times the distance that Neptune is. And, it's not unobtainable with LBB6 or WBH. I have lots of GGs in the outer reaches of star systems. Of course, they're cold and uninviting, not pink and cosy. So, I guess they are unrealistic in that sense....

True. How many LGG's have you generated with those systems that are in orbit 1 or 2 ?

Pretty sure the answer is "none".
