[[Zauhu]] is the fourth planet from the star Zug and one of the largest planets in the [[Zug System]].

A gas giant along with [[Urazuun]] (the smaller [[Faargau]] and [[Laazrau]] have a different bulk chemical compositions and are counted as ice giants instead), Zauhu can reach an apparent magnitude low enough for it to be seen as the third brightest object in Aargau’s night sky after its moon and Zug itself. | [[Zauhu]] is the fourth planet from the star Zug and one of the largest planets in the [[Zug System]].

The planet is primarily composed of hydrogen with a quarter of its mass being helium, although helium only comprises roughly a tenth of the number of molecules. While it also has a rocky core of heavier elements, Zauhu lacks a well-defined solid surface and the planet’s population is restricted to shielded floating cities in the gassier hydrogen layers of the gas giant. Because of its rapid rotation, the planet’s shape is that of an oblate spheroid (it has a slight but noticeable bulge around the equator which can be spotted from Aargau even with amateur telescopes) which segregates the outer atmosphere into several bands at different latitudes; resulting in heavy turbulence and storms along their interacting boundaries which makes colonization of the upper cloud layers virtually impossible.
