Fictional info (?)
Suggested nameHeanya
Planet typeCold planet
The planet is named after the deity Heanya, the messenger of the sea.

As one of the most noticeable objects in the sky, Heanya has been a major inspiration in native folklore for as long as records have existed.

As the closest planet to Tedoze, Heanya has been a prime target for early interplanetary exploration.

Heanya is the site of Titanic Ridge, the biggest volcano and second-highest known mountain in its solar system, and of Valles Marineris, one of the largest canyons in its solar system.

Future astrobiology missions are planned, including the Heanya 2000 and ExoHeanya rovers.

A prominent result is the "great blue spot", a giant storm that is known to have existed for centuries since it was first observed by radar.

The latest probe to visit the planet is Pointer, which entered into orbit around Heanya after a lengthy ride.

Wind speeds can reach 77 metres per second.
