Inuit group

The Inuit group (or family or cluster; also referred to as the second inclination group or the 46° inclination cluster) is a dynamical grouping of prograde irregular satellites of Saturn which follow similar orbits. Although almost all irregular moons are believed to have originated from a captured asteroid that later got involved in a collision, it is not currently known whether all the members in the Inuit group originated from a single progenitor, though the moons with measured colours appear similar to each other.
