Star system:
J: Trinary system (a-la Alpha Centauri, with a binary orbited by another star) composed of B: Pulsar and H: Blue Supergiant as the primaries and C: White Dwarf as the Proxima-equivalent.

Moon:
Quote from: Ehndras
G: You have several moons, actually(1) gaseous moon-B (2) volcanic moon-E (3) captured body of unknown origin (4) icy moon-F / nearest to farthest in order of distance. Volcanic moon's heat creates the gaseous moon's vapor trail, icy moon is way out in westbumblefark, and an odd captured body floats somewhere just beyond our perception.).

Enemies:
A: Gas Giant
B: Earth-sized rocky planet

Enemy Proximity:
Gas Giant: A: Close and also DOOOOOMED
Earth-size rocky: B: In a stable orbit. Lucky fucker didn't get dragged in with either of us DOOOOOMED ones.

Oooh... Blue supergiant, good idea! I hereby support this:

Moon:

Of course, if we really wanted to go nuts...

Nu Scorpii (AKA Jabbah) in real life is thought to be a septuple star system. A binary, in a binary, with a binary, binaried with a binary one of which is a binary.

So, for absolute bugfuck insanity mode:
A binary pair of white dwarves, binaried with a pulsar, all three of which are binaried with a blue supergiant, all four of which are binaried with a quasar (supermassive black hole, anyone?) that is binaried with a binary pair composed of a yellow and a red dwarf.

We orbit the Blue Supergiant.

D: A brown dwarf: For the genetically insensitive humour.
G: You have several moons, actually(Two blocks of ice, a rock, and a weird ring that goes al the way around us).

Your enemy is...
B: Supermassive Rocky Planet
B: Some distance away. A stable orbit.
And...
D: Dwarf Planet
B: Some distance away. A stable orbit.

Like some sort of horrid comedy duo, just sitting out there being smug together.

Ah, good ol' Jabbah. That'd likely be too over the top for people to keep up with. Its a suggestion game, after all.

I think we have a tie between RAM and Pyrodesu's suggestions.

I think that's consensus. Or rather, a tiebreaker, but that's all I needed.
~~~
Silly you. You orbit not one, but three stars! One massive blue supergiant and a pulsar paired together, with a white dwarf moving around them.

You have four moons! The closest to you is gaseous, the second closest is volcanic, and the furthest is an icy moon. You know you have a third moon, but you can't quite tell what it is. Odd.

Oh yes, your foes. One being a gas giant who's basically sharing an orbit with you. You do feel some solidarity with him... but he has so many more moons than you! Seven! Seven bloody moons! For goodness' sake!

The other, however, you loathe. She's a rocky planet in a stable orbit. This cannot stand.

It's not like you can do anything, though. You're just a planet. All you have is your mind.

Which you shouldn't even have, actually. Something's definitely odd. You're thinking. How are you thinking? What is the source of this?!

A: ?!? (write in)(will have great influence in special abilities in future)

the incredibly heated and various silicon compounds that make up your surface is actually your "mind",  working in such a self-supporting manner that sentient life is made, particularly in the great big purple molten substrate zones, that hold a geometric and crystalline pattern that shifts every second.

How should I know? I was just chasing after your ugly pig of a partner, dreaming about having his moons, but mostly just feeling bored, there hadn't been so much as an asteroid in the past hundred orbits, when you suddenly realised that you were bored, which was wholly incongruent with what you know of planets. Which really isn't much... If you really concentrate you get a vague feel of your molten centre, but that feels super uncomfortable and freaky and like you might break something vital, so you probably just randomly started thinking with your gooey insides?
