Well I'm pretty sure that it is a gas planet, like Neptune, but it can't be. I can see no reason a ship would jump to slipspace for that short of a ride (short in space terms), when they can already go much faster than the current space ships. It'd be a waste of supplies and power/energy. We'd make it there in 3/4's the time we would now without jumping to slipspace. Also with the humans having explored the spaces around their known space, I highly doubt they would miss something that close to Earth.
