Pol is one of the five natural satellites of Jool. Pol is in a large orbit, with moderate eccentricity and inclination. It may be a captured asteroid. The terrain is (proportionally) quite rough, with large ridges that make it resemble a pollen grain. The tallest mountains are very roughly 3-4 km high. The asteroid is very hard to land on due to its extremely low gravity. The asteroid's gravity is similar to the force of Gilly, but outstandingly lower. This asteroid is a fuel waster, because of how you enter the Joolian system, how high the inclination is for your Lander or satellite, and just trying to capture the asteroids gravitational pull.

  • Pol's namesake is likely derived from its uncanny resemblance to a grain of pollen.
