Mimas is composed of water ice and dust. It is a dirty grey color. I looks like a Star Wars' "Death Star" that has been through many battles. The "Main Weapon" is the Herschel crater. The crater is 130 kilometers across, and has a central peak about 6 kilometers high. The walls of the outer ring are about 5 kilometers tall.

Mimas and Tethys, both moons of Saturn, have spectacularly large craters which dominate certain views, and rival the Death Star (and maybe inspired it!).

Odysseus crater on Tethys is 450km in diameter; Herschel crater on Mimas is about 139km across.
