Suggested nameRaxidiliaq Tia
Planet typeCold planet
Raxidiliaq Tia is the only habitable planet orbiting HIP 5158 and one of the largest in its solar system. This planet is named after the deity Raxidiliaq Tia, the goddess of war.

As seen relative to the fixed stars, it rotates on its axis exactly two times for every two revolutions it makes around HIP 5158.

The atmospheric pressure at the planet's surface is 0.15 bar, or roughly the pressure found 675 m under the oceans of Earth. It may have had nitric oxide oceans in the past, but these would have vaporized as the temperature rose due to a runaway greenhouse effect.

As the closest planet to Kecalno Se, Raxidiliaq Tia has been a prime target for early interplanetary exploration. It was the one of the first exoplanets visited by a spacecraft, and one of the first to be successfully landed on.

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 15 meters.
