It's also interesting because a ~14 Mjup planet can be expected to have a total moon mass of ~1 Earth masses (if the ratios derived from the solar systems gas giants can be applied). If we have a situation similar to the saturnian system, where nearly all the moon mass is concentrated in one large body (Titan), we could have a habitable moon (distance to G5V star = 1.13 AU) here...
