I'd give some credit as to a few of those moons emerging from the same
kinds of stuff as its mother planet was made of, as well as those
derived from the sorts of nasty encounters that bit off or blew out
enough substance that eventually became a moon. Otherwise, at least a
few of these moons were likely captured upon having lithobraked into
something (possibly aerobraking could also have accomplished this
task).

This is good stuff for our spendy public owned supercomputers to fully
simulate in the best of interactive 3D animation eye-candy format.
