Moons

Wikipedia on Moons

Moons are small rocky worlds circling around planets. They come in three types, Small Moons, Medium Moons and Large Moons. Additionally Rings and Trojan Asteroids are treated as a special type of moon with various limitations.

Moons cannot have moons themselves. Small moons take up one lunar orbit, medium moons and rings take up two lunar orbits and large moons take up four lunar orbits. You do not have to fill up all lunar orbits.
