Fictional info (?)
Suggested namePuckca'pe
Planet typeCold gas giant
Its orbital period around Gaia22dkv of @ORBITALPERIOD earth days is the shortest of all the planets in its solar system.

It is a cold gas giant planet with a mass one-thousandth that of Gaia22dkv, but two-and-a-half times that of all the other planets in its solar system combined. Puckca'pe's atmosphere is similar to Dicali-fari's in its primary composition of ammonia and carbonyl sulfide, but it contains more "ices" such as water, ammonia, and methane, along with traces of other hydrocarbons. This planet is named after the deity Puckca'pe, the demon of chaos.

Puckca'pe is gravitationally locked with Gaia22dkv in a 3:2 spin-orbit resonance, and rotates in a way that is unique in its solar system.

The volume of water ice in the south polar ice cap, if melted, would be sufficient to cover the entire planetary surface to a depth of 6 meters.

It may also have a rocky core of heavier elements, but like the other cold gas giants, Puckca'pe lacks a well-defined solid surface.
