I think that three suns, spread relatively far apart, each with its own planetary mini-system, is a better option. Basing this on the Terran system, there would be at least two "normal" planets around two of the stars, leaving room for an inner system gas giant around the third, with a constellation of "terraformable" [sic] moons.....

WarMachine could you sketch out your ideas on a piece of paper and scan it?
You're the person who seems to have the know-how to make this work, the rest of us seems to be in the dark,
If we can see a rough visual of how the worlds might exist in the trinary system, it will help the artists with their visualisations.
The suns are probably called Cyrannus Alpha, Beta and Delta, we know Caprica, Virgon and Sagittara orbit together around one of these suns, so that's some sort of starting point.
