Linon

Linon is an airless moon of the gas giant Omphalos in the Delos system, located in the Spur of Orion. Originally rich in helium-3 and methane gas, Linon's reserves dried by the fifteenth millennium. Until the Battle of Linon in ISD 15863, the moon was the demesne of the exsul House Orin. Following House Orin's defeat in the conflict, however, the entire house was removed and killed by Aleister Marlowe, then executor of Delos in the Duchess's absence.
