Suggested nameLidomenus
Planet typeHuge cold gas giant
This planet is named after the deity Lidomenus, the spirit of good fortune.

Its orbital eccentricity is the largest of all known planets in its solar system; at perihelion, Lidomenus's distance from OGLE-2017-BLG-0482 is only about two-thirds (or 96 pct) of its distance at aphelion.

The water has probably photodissociated, and the free methane has been swept into interplanetary space by the solar wind because of the lack of a planetary magnetic field.

Because of its rapid rotation, the planet's shape is that of an oblate spheroid (it has a slight but noticeable bulge around the equator).

The largest moon is populated by barbaric primitive insects, the "Iadaph Rhea", which survive hidden in craters while consuming a substance called "Moslade" at night. They are closely similar to the Theme Prosnaq but with 2 legs and vary in length from 17 to 42 cm. Iadaph Rhea are known to thrive at temperatures from -30 to -10°C and even severe infection.
