Fictional info (?) Suggested name Chatur-rax Planet type Cold planet When viewed from Becafran, Chatur-rax can reach an apparent magnitude of -3, bright enough for its reflected light to cast shadows, and making it on average the third-brightest object in the night sky. The planet is named after the deity Chatur-rax, the god of the sky. Chatur-rax's dense atmosphere render observation of its surface impossible in infrared light, and the first detailed maps did not emerge until the arrival of the Magellan orbiter 42 years ago. This inhospitable place is known for its dangerous and earth-like humanoids, the "Poly-lade Ca", which spend their life by hunting anything they find if it is available. The Poly-lade Ca are somewhat related to the Panne but have wings and vary in size from 70 to 90 mm. They can withstand temperatures from 100 to 130°C and the high radiation level which is common on this planet.
