A moon with rings was one of the two moons that revolved around the planet called Brendok. This moon displayed a light grey hue, marked by darker patches and areas of circular shape. It moved around Brendok in the opposite direction from the other moon, which was closer to the planet. This positioning meant the closer moon would block the ringed moon from view during a lunar eclipse when they lined up. During the Rite of Ascension ritual performed by the coven of witches under the leadership of Mother Aniseya for the twins Mae-ho and Verosha Aniseya, the two moons aligned, creating an eclipse. Sixteen years afterwards, following Mae's escape from Jedi Master Sol's Polan using an escape pod in orbit above Brendok, she piloted her craft past the planet and into the moon's rings, believing Sol's ship was too large to follow. However, Sol steered the Polan into the rings to continue the chase, resulting in damage to the shuttle. After the Tynnan tracker Bazil performed sabotage on the Polan, preventing Sol from firing on the escape craft, Mae left the moon's rings and headed towards the surface of Brendok.
The ringed moon was initially seen in "Destiny," the third installment of The Acolyte series on Disney+, which was broadcast on June 11, 2024. The chase scene that took place within the moon's ring during the "The Acolyte" episode was included later in the show's development process, and it was created as a method for separating Sol and Mae. Julian Foddy, the visual effects supervisor from Industrial Light & Magic, mentioned that asteroid belts were one of the few ways to include interaction and obstacles in the vast emptiness of space. Since asteroids have been shown many times in Star Wars, Kevin Jenkins, the production designer, proposed that the moon's rings should have an unusual blue and turquoise coloring, which Foddy described as having the appearance of being composed of ice or minerals.
According to Foddy, the approach to the moon's rings was based on "pseudo-science," where different bands of gravity maintained the crystals at varying densities, causing light to refract differently and thus change the coloration. Sunlight shafts and floating crystals that added volume and atmosphere resulted in "god-rays," and the sequence then moved into the shadow of the moon's dark side before dramatically returning to the light.
