Add a Gas Giant with unique challenges and rewards

I think having an additional gas giant planet with unique hazards and benefits would be a great new feature that utilizes some of the new se2 systems.

- utilize the beautiful fog and atmosphere on Calligo to make navigation difficult and visibility limited

- extremely high gravity, requiring a robust ship to navigate (ex: Jupiter has 2.5 g at cloud top)

- extremely high winds since that has been added (ex: Jupiter has winds ranging from 300 - 1400 km/h)

- One could collect h2 through air vents set to depressurize (this would give a reason to visit and build infrastructure, such as a very energy intensive floating station) (Jupiter is ~90% hydrogen)

- Powerful radiation field (whenever that makes its way into SE2) that requires some shielding against to protect power systems and crew (maybe using lead) which mirrors challenges with real life gas giants


The main vision behind this is that it’s a late game planet that can be setup as a powerful refueling station but takes a lot of infrastructure and engineering to setup safely (especially considering there is no ground to build a static grid on)
