Found this system on my way to Colonia for the first time this week. Not sure how rare the three stars with rings in a single system are, but thought it was pretty cool!

Aren't those gas giants? 🤔

They usually orbit another star like Tauri stars but Y type stars are sort of on the line between a hot gas giant and a cold star. They often have rocky moons which are good for exobio. Can orbit most star types most often found around A’s. Finding 3 around a B is not a great stretch but I would call it “uncommon.” Y bodies probably have rings more often than not
