Atmosphere

This moon has an atmosphere, comparable in density to Kerbin's, which begins at 55,500 meters.

With proper utilization of aerobraking near Jool and Laythe, it potentially requires the least delta-V of any of Jool's moons to reach. A periapsis of 119.5 km on a Jool approach will put your apoapsis roughly near Laythe's orbit.
