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?

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.
