       Well... Technically, Jupiter is a gas giant, meaning it's
basically a giant ball of gas :). Not much space to stand on... But it
has plenty of moons (some Earth-sized, IIRC) these Ramarians could adapt
to their needs. It's just a detail, but it can be easily changed in the
text and would add some plausibility to the story.

Yes, Jupiter is a gas planet and yes, there doesn't seem to be
solid ground in that planet. But I was thinking that the Ramarians
could set up something like the Cloud City of Bespin headed by
Lando Calrissian in Star Wars. The premise is that they have the
technology to do that.

2) Lumiata is a light-year in Earth terms.

       A light-year is the distance a beam of light travels in an Earth
year. You could make a lumiata the distance this beam of light travels
in a iata, since the Ramarians have no reason to be using Earth years :).
Thus a lumiata is bigger than a light year, but I think all it would
really change in the story would be this footnote :).

Thank you for the comment. And yes, I should have to
change the footnote a bit.
