To correct myself there, it is not going to be as bright as Saturn from Earth. Hot Chi varies in magnitude throughout the year from magnitude 2.26 to 2.68 or so. Saturn is generally much brighter from Earth. (Hot Chi has an albedo similar to that of Jupiter, about 0.56).

On a tangent: when a zone is applied (red, amber) or an Interdiction applied, does it apply to the whole system or to just a world? Is it still ok for starships to pass through the system and refuel from in system gas giants if they don't touch the interdicted world?

Unless it says otherwise in, say, adventure notes, or unless I had some gaming purpose for deciding it was the system, I would say it defaults to the world. YMMV.

I think there's a GDW adventure that specifically had the PCs entering a system to refuel at gas giant knowing the main world is Red Zoned. I can't recall from memory though and given I'm going back to sleep in a minute after ridiculously late night of Superbowl, I'm not getting up to look! (Great game though!)

Hot Chi, the system's gas giant, is above the horizon most of the night and presently at Opposition and as bright as it will ever get, which is around the brightness of Saturn from Earth.
