Eki is the sole moon of Anud, orbiting in a highly eccentric orbit. Its orbit is most likely unstable over long timescales, and it will eventually either escape Anud’s gravity, or impact its atmosphere.

Its reverse Ike! Instead of a big moon in a low, circular and synchronous orbit, you get a small asteroid in a high, eccentric and inclined orbit. Its also not tidally locked. I also used very bright colors for it instead of Ike’s darker tones, which ended up causing it to be maybe too reflective.
