Kekko is the only moon of Nimky, being mostly a rubble-pile asteroid. It orbits relatively close, and will eventually crash into Nimky’s surface, though it will probably be a really, really long time before this occurs. A number of geological discrepancies between Nimky and Kekko suggest that Kekko is actually an asteroid from Karat’s outer belt that was captured by Nimky.

` Just a smol asteroid, nothing much to see here. Its probably at least a little bit above absolute zero here, due to tidal heating, but not much. `
