While not as heavily populated or trafficed as the Jovian sub-system, Saturn receives a fair share of the tourist trade. The famous rings draw a number of the longer ranged Gondolier tours, as do some of the moons. Titan and Mimas are the largest draws after the rings, both for their unique features and because they sport the largest settlements.
Since the end of the Boskone War the Warsies have shifted their cheif settlement from New Yavin to Coruscant City in Hershel Crater on Mimas, and a number of smaller settlements have sprung up.
Titan's population is split between mostly transient Gondoliers and support staff at Aria Field, occasional scientific expiditions and several projects attempting to harvest and refine hydrocarbons.

History
Saturn's history in Fenspace is relatively empty thus far[1]. The sub-system was mostly evacuated during the Boskone War as it was too far from major bases and too under-populated to defend itself against Boskonian raids.
Places of Interest
- The Rings: Saturn's nine rings are one of the most famous natural features in the Solar system, as well known as Jupiter's Great Red Spot. Made up of dirty water ice, the rings were declared off limits for mining and harvesting in September 2010, by both the Mars and Venus Terraforming Projects. This was expanded to a general prohibition as part of the Terraforming panel debate at Crystal-con in 2011

"Fenspace Infinities" Known Places around Saturn
"Fenspace Infinities" locations have not been established by the time of Operation Great Justice and the Miranda mission, and thus may or may not come into existence later in Fenspace's timeline. But they have been mentioned in future-history Fenspace stories or discussion, so they should be taken into account.
