Fictional info (?)
Suggested nameCali Lyp
Planet typeCold planet
It is the second-brightest natural object in the night sky after Romalthrymr'thea, reaching an apparent magnitude of -5 - bright enough to cast shadows at night and, sometimes, visible to the naked eye in broad daylight.

This planet is named after the deity Cali Lyp, the god of nature.

When viewed from Earth, this proximity to HD 175607 means the planet can only be seen near the western or eastern horizon during the early evening or early morning. At this time it may appear as a bright star-like object, but is often far more difficult to observe than Romalthrymr'thea.

Two spacecraft have visited Cali Lyp: Wayfinder 7 flew by 44 years ago; and Messenger, launched 17 years ago, orbited Cali Lyp over 80 times in four years before exhausting its reactor and crashing into the planet's atmosphere 5 years later.

Cali Lyp's surface is a arid desertscape interspersed with slab-like rocks and is periodically resurfaced by volcanism.

As the closest planet to Romalthrymr'thea, Cali Lyp has been a prime target for early interplanetary exploration. Cali Lyp's dense atmosphere make observation of its surface difficult in visible light, and the first detailed maps did not emerge until the arrival of the Magellan orbiter 26 years ago.

Planet is entirely occupied by strange and earth-like plants called the "Naqsiar Ano". They survive hidden in craters by killing plants. Most of them are closely related to the Beculodome-delia and have 2 eyes and vary in size from 26 to 43 mm. Most Naqsiar Ano can thrive at temperatures from 90 to 180°C and very low gravity which is common on this planet.
