Suggested nameThee Storosa
Planet typeHot planet
Thee Storosa's atmosphere is similar to Thacyl's in its primary composition of formaldehyde and hydrogen, but it contains more "ices" such as water, ammonia, and methane, along with traces of other hydrocarbons. The planet is named after the deity Thee Storosa, the goddess of chaos.

As seen relative to the fixed stars, it rotates on its axis exactly two times for every three revolutions it makes around K2-36.

Two spacecraft have visited Thee Storosa: Wayfinder 7 flew by 29 years ago; and Messenger, launched 16 years ago, orbited Thee Storosa over 115 times in four years before exhausting its plasma drive and crashing into the planet's surface 9 years later.

It was the one of the first exoplanets visited by a spacecraft, and one of the first to be successfully landed on.
